@ Riot : Eve VU -Should She Ditch The Wig?

Dreamspitter··4 votes·2,612 views

It started with this comic featuring Eve http://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/February_2014/SML/joelyface_-_The-Invisible-Woman.jpg

One of the jokes is the idea that Eve is only wearing a wig. The odd thing is…she doesn’t look bad without any hair. This would be visually different from any other female characters, and break the mold of attractive characters like Jinx not having a large bust.

I like the way that look. I’ve seen that kind of look before. Consider

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Averdrian

Averdrian. This weird canceled champ is also blue skinned, bald, and pointy eared. He MIGHT have been intended for the Shadow Isles as on the Shadow Isles promo site (still accessible) you can spot a tiny image of Averidian’s head carved beneath the logo.

  1. Dark Necrofear (Necro-philia in Japan) This yugioh card featured in the Battle City story arc is a female demon (fiend) type creature, mixed in with a few mechanical bits, with kinky thigh high boots. She too is blue skinned with pointy ears, and no hair.

This was one of Bakura's signature cards, and like much of his deck involved demons, undead, bondage, torture, and control. Now, if Eve were to use this look, it would MIGHT not be the first time LoL took inspiration from a cardgame, as Vlads newest skin may be a influenced from the Cardfight!! Vanguard anime. Some people made the comparison with pictures on Surrender@ 20 .net. (specifically Witch Doctor of the Abyss, Negromarl )

#Now. What IS Eve?

This was mentioned by devs as being a MAJOR question in the process of doing any VU/rework. Right now she’s just a blue skinned stripperific character from the shadow isles. I personally feel she should still be blue, and striperific -but there needs to be MORE. Some like the idea of a vampiric Eve, others a succubus or demon, and still more some kind of shadowy sexy predator that tears men apart.

This is a big question , and will apart of deciding what to do with her.

Eve is one of the few female champs by lore to be sexy. Taking her hair away works against her identity, imo.

But she's also supposed to have a non-human appearance. Not having hair wouldn't take that away imo.

yeah,but that doesn't change the fact that it would hurt her seductress-theme a lot.

So overall it looks to me like there is definetly some kind of loss in that(takes away eves iconic hairstyle,some people would flat out hate that style,would take away from her "seductress theme",while barely adding anything to her)

uh what? so, in order for a woman to be sexy, she must have long hair????? I disagree ._. there are several female models who have no hair whatsoever and look as beautiful and sexy as an sculpture

As for eve... uhm, that card doesn't looks that bad to be honest but... Eve is our "afro" girl so yeah... that doesn't mean there ain't no space for a bald girl at some point O.o me thinks.

I disagree good sir with your disagreement, women do not have to have long hair to be sexy, this is true, but bald women are simply unattractive to me.

It wouldn't really fit her,she is meant to be a sexy seductress and the bald haircut is pretty divisive,so it would go against that.

The bald haircut would fit much more for a new champ who is either:

  • really tough,like a soldier or something like that(think of ripley from alien 3)
  • more on the spiritual side(think of averdrian,dark necrofear would also fit into this category)

However eve is neither of that

Besides I think her hair has become one of the more iconic parts of her appearance

I don't think she should have Vegeta hair anymore, but i rather like her spiky pink hair. I'm sure they could keep it and just style it differently.
