League of Models

Biff Manly·Jul 22, 2015·6 votes·1,458 views

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was playing "Valoran's Top Model."

Not every champ needs to be the epitome of beauty. You think new Fiora isn't hot? So what? She doesn't need to be hot to participate in the League. It's the same thing that happened with Kalista's release, just amplified.

Back then, people were pissed that the new female champ wasn't a supermodel, and they vocalized it. Difference with Fiora, they were already used to ~~staring at her tits~~ her appearance and all its supermodelatry, and are now peeved that she isn't drop-dead gorgeous.

If you miss the old Fiora splash so much, you can just grab the body-pillow you had it pasted on and cry in the corner.

We are saying that the old Fiora looks better than the new one.

I do love me some IronStylus Quinn

Rune OcarinaJul 22, 20151 votes

I like Quinn too. I hate how Riot's pretty much ignored her for so long though.

EDIT: I mean you guys. >=D

^ Pretty much this.

She actually looks more like a super model now, grossly under weight forcing herself into a comically over done pose(even compared to the original), and with a face built on the ideas of beauty with no actual balance, it's just bad, the artist did a terrible job and we have to pay for it.

Kalista's design is fine, despite not being conventionally attractive at all, because she's an original character.

Fiora's VU is not fine, because she was an established character who didn't need to be changed, and unlike Sejuani (who was changed to be, not less attractive, but far less scantily clad) did not warrant it.

Get off your high horse.

I ride a tiger thank you very much. What kind of manly, buff guy rides a weenie animal like a horse?

SharjoJul 22, 20152 votes

What if the horse was burning and skeletal?

deceptopusJul 22, 20152 votes

Wow, someone's insecure. Shocking how people try to make hating attractive women some kind of moral high ground.

Biff ManlyJul 22, 20151 votes

Liking attractive women? Not a bad thing.

Being a whiny ass and not offering actual advice to reach a solution? A bad thing.

I have no problem with old Fiora, I just think the angry mob over yonder could perhaps be a little less angry and actually voice something more than "no like, fix."

If I go to a restaurant and order a chicken sandwich and they bring back a fish sandwich, I'm going to ask them to take it back.

Rune OcarinaJul 22, 20151 votes

And goddammit if it isn't the chicken sandwich he deserves!

Hmm. So every time they update League you send it back to Riot and request the game in the original state you bought it?

No, because I can recognize that sometimes change is needed. Sion's rework was necessary, for example. Fiora's gameplay update was probably also necessary.

Her VU? No, not even a little.

deceptopusJul 22, 20151 votes

There have been just as many people pointing out the specific issues they have with the update as there are people simply calling it out for the low quality shoddy work that it is. There's no reason for people to compromise with riot when they think that the completely unnecessary update is worse in every way. If it's worse, unambiguously worse, a compromise will still be worse than what we already have. Why mince words just to satisfy your need for politically correct bullshit?

Biff ManlyJul 22, 20151 votes

You can't call aesthetics "unambiguously worse." That is automatically wrong, just like me saying "the VU is better."

It is an opinion, and has to be presented as such. This post was mainly for the holy knights that led the crusade to save us from what they see as a step backwards, but present as a mistake.

deceptopusJul 22, 20151 votes

People are allowed to enjoy eating turds. But there are objective measures of quality that the update fails to pass the original in.

Biff ManlyJul 22, 20151 votes

Oh no no, I'm not here to chum the waters for the angry commenters. I just made this to show Riot a little bit of positive feedback on their work, what with all the negative feedback being much easier to get dragged into.

What are you talking about?

In the release of Kalista, a lot of people where happy of getting a "different" female champion

In other hand, the changes of Fiora are totally unnecessary... People is complaining because they are changing an already established character, just like some people did in the update of Sion, Trundle, Karma and even GP.
