@Riot Update and Model Team Unused Karma Model on Champion Info
I was reading the Piltover stories and then came across the champion page . . . . that was updated recently. I didn't even know it was updated and it looks amazing. I then went to the Karma section, read everything, and then scrolled down to find art . . . . . that says "Karma rework concept art". It got me thinking how no one at Riot Games has ever confirmed that model for Karma was the original one for her . . . Riot acknowledges that is what Karma was supposed to look like . . . . . but they gave us a half worked on visual update with no character, no work, and no care in the world.
This is what Riot gave us and has no intention of giving us anything better. It also is missing a lot of animations and character. The model is very outdated. It's just bad and the fact that Riot is so proud of it . . . . really questions whether or not they care about the champion.
This is what we were supposed to receive and Riot games clearly acknowledging that. The art piece actually has a model at the bottom of what it was supposed to look like in game. There is no comparison on which one is better . . . . . and looks better . . . . if Riot is so gung ho on keeping this new concept and removing her fans and dress, give us this visual update that you clearly acknowledge and show on your website.
My question is that you have the nerve to use an old model for Ryze on his 7th rework, but you cannot use Karma's original model that you almost certainly have saved somewhere. Why are you not using this model? The model looks better and more in line with the champion design of what we have today. It removes the tattoos from her body and tells people when she has her mantra R up with the dragons around her hands . . . . it also shows us the dragons since it is so prominent in her lore. The outfit looks better, since you do not want to give us her dress back. You can do so much with a model like this . . . . but you don't.
Why was Ryze on his 7th rework allowed to use his old model . . . . and Karma not able to do the same 4 years now? It just shows how much you care. There is no excuse now since you have the technology to do it. There is no excuse for poor decisions and bad work ethic.
