Kai'Sa is a complete downgrade compared to all the previous champions who have multiple characters

Both have their own abilities, both have voice lines Both have abilities, both have voice lines Both have abilities focusing on themselves, both have voice lines amazing synergy, truly feels like you are playing two characters in one THEY FLAT OUT BICKER WITH EACH OTHER AND HAVE AMAZING ANIMATION / DIALOGUE

then we come to kai

The suit (and i definitely mean THE SUIT) has no unique animations, no sounds, no anything. Nobody would honestly be able to tell this suit is sentient considering it doesn't even make so much as a hissing sound to indicate its a living breathing creature living inside of a host.

the artwork is extremely wack, how do you go from such a beautiful splash art with mad details to something as bland as just purple and grey in game?

you're better off marketing Kai as some sort of apprentice of viktor who broke away from him and tried engineering a suit using void based stuff and ended up turning into some cyborg void beast thing.

HOPEFULLY she sees improvement before release because atm kai is just a rushed and lazy product

They're not two characters though. Kai'Sa's suit is living but most likely not sentient/intelligent whatsoever.

Just because it's alive doesn't mean it has to have a personality of it's own. It reminds me of when spiderman had the venom suit, it didn't do much before it moved on to Eddy.

Maybe because she's not meant to be a dual personality champ?

Sure, the suit may be alive, and sentient, but it's more of Kai'sa utilizing (or, more precisely, taking advantage of) the remains of a Void creature. It's not a symbiotic relationship (like a clownfish and anemone). Kayn and Rhaast are a symbiotic relationship....it's even in one of thier voicelines!

Kayn: If I let you go, you will die. Rhaast: And you will lose.

Kayn needs Rhaast to fulfill his his goals, and Rhaast needs Kayn just to exist.

It's not the same with Kai'sa......the suit gets no benefits from being on Kai'sa......in fact, it gets the short end of the stick every time, since it's the one being drained of power, taking damage, whatever. Yes, I know that Kai'sa says the suit calls her "home"..........but is that a result of the suit being sentient, or the fact that Kai'sa has grown up in the void. Look at how Malzahar turned out.........I think it's safe to assume that Kai'sa isn't entirely all there.

Just because something is alive doesn't mean it has to speak or anything like that. A fungus is alive, but I wouldn't exactly call them great partners in a conversation.

Saying that she is rushed and lazy is assuming that their end goal is what you wanted thematically.

she isn't even a dual personality though, its 1 person only

I think she will be the best designed champion of 2018, maybe if they bring another Darkin it might surpass her

It still would be been awesome if her joke or taunt line had those shoulder canons purring or hissing while the vibrated. Even if it's very animalistic it can have emotions and some personality. It feels like a bio mecha suit more then a voidling of some kind

What made you assume the suit was going to be some witty banter sidekick? We don't need that.

Void doesn't have a character. Everything that spawned from the Void just has one ultimate goal: total anihilation.

Imo the actual Void creatures don't really have a real personality, it's more like the illusion of a personality which again only serves the purpose to devour and destroy.

Your human perception is interpreting it as personality but it's not.

Yeah, this makes no sense.

I'm pretty sure Kai'Sa killed or found dead whatever creature the suit came from and is simply using the carcass as a suit. It is alive in the sense that a singular cell of the human body is alive, but it is by no means sentient.
