7/22 PBE Update * /r/leagueoflegends

The fact the post about her rework was taken down from the LOL website They giving feedback that the splash team will be informed of our opinion The above link where RiotScruffy says: "The art team is doing an iteration on the models too. It's looking good from the early shots I've seen. " The change they already did to the splash by giving her the red hair back

I think soon enough they will repost the rework news with a better looking facial model (for all skins) plus a changed Splash art

I am grateful they are giving some feedback (even if it should be in an official riot post addressing all concerns instead of little things in reddit)

And thank them for listening to us (even if they weren't clear that they were)

And here is hoping we get a kick ass Fiora that looks like this http://na.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/styles/scale_xlarge/public/upload/fu-banner.jpg?itok=S2TGxqzD

And not a mix of Cruella DeVil and that girl from Ratatui ^^

EDIT: If you are gonna downvote or upvote please comment and explain why

Update: They changed the face on the models, not completly satisfied yet but it's on the good track:

Edit: She got her bangs back ^^

They still have a lot to fix on her face though.

Atleast they heard us....

God help us with what they are going to do to her now...

Well, the Fiora champion update announcement has not been taken down.

The art changes on the model and splash are simply the ChampUp fixing what they clearly got wrong on the PBE. Fact is, they exist in a bubble that is very hard to burst but when you are able to reach them, they'll try to make things better.

Then again, there are people on this team who were involved in the whole "Trundle thing" a few years ago...

I still want a smaller shoulder pad and her tri-cape back. Seriously that pad looks like a growth.

Here's some more helpful information I copied and pasted:

From Ironstylus on reddit:

"Hijacking. There's a delicate balance we want to strike here. We're intentionally moving our characters to a more stylistic take. This tends to include more chiseled shapes and even exaggeration of features. The trend will indeed move us to a less "realistic" treatment of some characters. (see new vs old Ganglank, lots of style changes there) That's an artistic choice we as a department are making. Summoner's rift is a great example of this.

That said, we are looking into some tweaks to the splash. Mainly focusing on lessening some of the chiseling on her face and some other minor changes.

Thanks very much for the feedback, guys!"

Good. But are they going to release a classic Fiora skin and remove all the other unnecessary edits to the skins? It's kind of funny, but she only really needed a kit rework. Her model and skins still held up fantastically. Her new hairstyle didn't fit the outfits at all, and it still doesn't look right. It still feels like something was lost in this rework, and It's sad to say, that while I enjoyed playing Fiora, and do like the idea of her new kit, I probably won't be playing her again because of the visual overhaul. They kind of butchered her visually just as much as they kind of butchered Miss Fortune. Sure, there's that new pizzazz and rigging, but it's jarring. Like some sort of doppelganger that doesn't quite measure up took their place.

It makes me fear what they might to do Jax and some of my other favorite champions in the future.

Rioters will lie to you. There is no reason to trust anything they say.

Meddler said not too long ago that Fiora's VU would be "more than Kassadin's, but less than Miss Fortune's".

This is obviously a lie.

Don't expect the playerbase to take their assurances that they are actually listening in good faith.
