@Riot - Why are you against head holes?

So with the new Pizza Chicken ward that's come out, it's come to my attention that Riot, for whatever reason, is against head holes. When you kill the pizza chicken ward, which is a chicken with it's head through a pizza, the pizza breaks free and rolls around. It's quite noticeable that there's no hole where the chicken had it's head poked through. Additionally, and this has been around longer, but Blade Queen Lissandra has the same problem in her recall. Her Iron Maiden that she summons and closes around herself uses her headdress as the face of the maiden, yet there's distinctly no hole for her head to poke through.

Well, trypophobia is a thing, and while usually it manifests due to clusters of holes on a surface (and could more accurately be described as causing disgust rather than fear) who's not to say that a single hole couldn't cause a reaction in particularly sensitive subjects?

This is just the first stages of us fixing this terrible problem (trying to get ahead of it before global legislation comes into effect) where we will be removing all holes - including but not limited to:

Bard's face holes
Battlecast Illaoi's boob window
Yasuo's flute holes (so that much like some Rioters who play Yasuo, the flute will also be one note)
All nostrils

If there are others you'd like to list then please do so. It's all in an concerted effort (starting 32nd of March) to help the sufferers of this particular affliction, and not at all about saving a surprising amount of polygon count in a model.
