Riot tries to keep things important to the players when they do a rework
Akali's sideboob and bust size gets nerfed and we get a terrible boob and butt pose that no one asked for and 2 years ago Blizzard failed with on Tracer.
So not only is rito full of crap, they've got the attention span of a gnat, and have no ability to learn from past mistakes that the industry has made.
The worst part about all of this is riot obviously doesn't know its players. There are butt people. They play champs like Fiora and Irelia. Then there are boob people. They like champs such as Sona, MF, Syndra, etc. Riot clearly can't even tell a boob fan from a butt fan apart because the new splash puts the booty as a point of focus while minimizing the boobs. It's like she W'd her chest cause its clearly vanishing.
So not only is she showing us her butt, it's hidden behind all that stuff and clearly not her best asset. This is literally half-assed because she's clearly lacking the booty.
Then we get that stupid pose.
Why Rito?
Like I said, blizzard proved it was terrible 2 years ago. Did you guys forget that pose is out of fashion? Are you hoping people forgot about it? At least tracer has a behind worth looking at. Akali doesn't.
More importantly, why is Akali turning away from the viewer? In her old splashes she was always going forward and to the side. Showing her backside just isn't a proper akali pose. She needs to be facing forward and taking action or looking like she's about to take action. Akali needs to be going forward and not offering up her backside.
The wrong directionness not only doesn't show off what akali fans want to see, I think it completely negates whatever you were going for with the fake badass. She should be coolly walking away from whatever scene she just made, not be stuck in the middle of it all. That would be badassery that would work with akali. But no, you guys completely ruined it. WHY IS SHE LINGERING? AKALI IS AN ASSASSIN THAT GOES IN AND GETS OUT IN A LITERAL FLASH! DO YOU GUYS EVEN PLAY LEAGUE!!!!!!!!
This is why the pose terrible. It's going the wrong way. It's not a proper akali angle. This image failed when you guys started penciling in the stick figure.
She should have been shown walking away from all the asses she had just kicked. Not brooding over a single helmet n00b.
