Pentakill Yorick passive suggestion * /r/leagueoflegends

3 days ago, one reddit user have great idea, how to enhance Yorick skin to be more "metal friendly" by redesigning his passive in to flaming devil horns. Suddenly Riot guys show up and say, that its not possible due to religion and ESRB rating. Few days later, another user show up, and post a reply with evidences, that devil horn signs are already in game. Actually there are 3 champs..well technically 2 now, who have them.

I mean, why someone lie like this, just to prove his wrong point.

The thing is that there are reasons why these "exceptions" exist at all.

Dark star thresh doesn't do devil horns at all,it just looks like this because of the perspective and the color of his hands.

Old Yorick is old,he was introduced at a time where the restrictions were smaller,nowadays they are controlled more strictly. For example when they exchanged some splash arts for the chinese ones,they had to remove the smoke from cho'gaths pipe,even though he had the smoke in ALL regions before the update.

Twitch is really the only one who really does this pose,but he might get away with it,thanks to the fact that he has only 4 fingers and is moving quite a bit around,making it hard to see,wheras Yoricks graves will be all over the place.

And Demon Vi?

Well depicting demons directly doesn't really seem to be a problem at all considering that we have aatrox(who looks like a demon) and Tahm kench(who is a demon)

Exactly why their argument against such things for Yorick has 0 value.

The rioter never said that this was due to religious reasons. It is due to cultural ones,since this hand gesture is considered offensive in some countries.

So what? I find their taking offense to be offensive.
