Why does Rhaast's face look like some badass Demon skull while Aatrox's wearing lipstick?

Just something that irks me and it's the main reason I'm using skins whenever playing big A.

Aatrox is supposed to represent elegance in combat, which apparently translates to effeminate facial features.

^This. I notice that difference in their dialogue, Aatrox is a lot calmer and colder when it comes to his bloodshed, while Rhaast is running into battle screaming "KILL KILL KILL" at the top of his fiery lungs.

It's funny that Rhaast is supposed to be death.

It seems it's an angsty death

Angsty and fun.

Whoever voiced him must have had a fun time and a sore throat after.

Yes, I will probably choose Rhaast over Shadow Assassin in most games, even when Shadow Assassin is the best choice.

Also, red is my favourite color.

I just imagine aatrox fighting people all chill and then his brother rhaast is screaming like some hyperactive little brother while covered in blood and then aatrox tells rhaast to chill the fuck out. Aatrox

What's wrong with a demonic being wearing lipstick? Don't apply your metal norms on him.

IMO Aatrox face is chilling and creppy

Aatrox is War. War is seen as an art by the Darkin.

Rhaast is Death. Death is abrupt and has no elegance in its form. It is pure carnage.

And I'm guessing Varus has Wrath. He does get stronger the angrier he is. And every kill adds to his fury, according to his passive.

Isn't the theory that they are based on th 4 horsmen (+Pestillence). Making Varus either Conquest, Famine or Pestillence.

I'd guess pestilence for the obvious reasons.

I wouldn't mind if Aatrox had a different face, one that's more rough and demonic. Though I can say I enjoy the way he currently looks. Looks like he's on the more softer side (relative to Raast) but he is an artist of sorts.

I mean I am hoping for some better insight on Aatrox's theme lmao they gotta bring this stuff to life especially now that they just set some standards for Darkin with the addition of Kayn and Rhaast.

I originally thought Aatrox was a girl before I actually saw the splash art.

Justicar Aatrox for the win. That skin is fucking awsome.

This makes zero sense. He looks like a badass resurrected war hero. Not sure where this lipstick talk is coming from...
