In-Game Models' Size Inconsistencies

I know there's a lot more work to do with models in the game but I noticed recently, after playing as Vlad, that his size is puny compared to someone like Zed-- and they shouldn't be that anatomically different in terms of being "human". Point being that yes, there are size inconsistencies. For example, shouldn't Malphite be bigger than Sion since he's supposed to be like.. 15ft. tall? Not saying he should be 15ft tall in-game, but just simply taller. Just want to make sure that there's an awareness on the topic. Do share some screenies if you do have some.

It probably hasn't bothered anyone including myself 'til I just noticed it. I don't know, I mean it doesn't bother me but it doesn't feel quite right anymore after seeing it. I stumbled upon this post as I was typing this http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=38339356 : The two red posts said they would take a look at it, and that was last year.

Would be nice to know if it's being considered. It'd be refreshing to see a size re-do sometime in the future, even if it does take a bit of time. Thoughts anyone?

I agree, but don't forget that balance can be a factor regarding champion sizes. (clickability and hitbox)

Oh I agree completely. A few of the old champions look darn tiny.

And some lost their old weird size identities. Like Soraka's bizarre old size.

In that case Chogath needs to be like the size of a lane at max size.

Overall the standard size newer champs tend to be bigger than that of the older ones,same goes for the maximum size of champs,just compare new sion to the old one.

I was playing some big tanky manly dude the other day, I think it was Pantheon, and he looks like a midget next to Lucian

They're working on it. If you look at the newer/reworked champions, you can see that they're usually a lot more consistent in size (and bigger so the details show up more easily). It'll take a while for most of the champions to be consistent, but they're getting there.
