The new Fiora kit is amazing but can we address her new ingame model's face?

Fiora 'had' one of the best in game models in my opinion and while i can understand you want to change it for your new idea i cant help but notice EXTREMELY obvious downgrade's to her face. Can someone at Riot please explain why the decision was made to change her face so drastically when it was so well designed before?

Also if your confused as to what im saying then please show the comparison above to someone who hasn't seen Fiora or at lease hasn't seen her in game model before and ask them this. "Witch of these models has been recently updated and improved from the other." If the people you ask consistently say the left model is new and the right model is the older one then you have seriously screwed up in this department.

NOTE: I only have issues with the face specifically. While i don't like alot of the cosmetic things your doing to Fiora in general i can live with them. I just feel that her face either needs a second pass with the previous one being used for reference or that you simply re use her old face with a new hair touch up for the new style.

Please Riot your in game models were a big reason i started playing LoL (i love character models and designs) and i think this is a serious downgrade in quality for no reason.

Also in case it wasn't clear the right model is the new one.

I have to admit, I burst out laughing when I saw the old and new models side by side. How was this approved? XD

Rito is going politically correct, they must turn all the wymyns into trannys or ugly feminists. i.e., the op's pic

The features need to be exaggerated in the ingame model to better reflect readability of the character's features ingame from a top-down, distanced perspective. That is, her model is not supposed to be viewed from the angle presented, and thus it is no wonder it looks weird. Even on a zoomed in top-down perspective, the Headmistress model is not that bad in comparison. If this were a game where the view of the character was different, the change would likely be considered a terrible one for the character, but, at least for the Headmistress skin, the overall change is okay in my eyes.

Good catch, in that view the new one does look significantly better than in the OP's picture.

While it does look better than OP's pic, it still doesn't look as good as the old one. Suddenly she's got man arms, her chin is sticking out way too far which makes her face look like it's angled upward, even though she's looking down, ...and somebody drew glasses on her face. She's supposed to wear glasses, not have a glasses tattoo.

Your not wrong about models needing to sometimes be exaggerated to get points across. However i disagree that his change does that. You gave the example above and i can clearly see that the new fio looks off from what id expect of her splash.

Her old in game model not only looks better in my example but i feel it looks better in yours as well. There are situations where exaggeration is required but this is not one of them.

Champions don't need to look bad for top down as evidence by the majority of league champions. Seriously just go Google "League in game Model viewer" and you can see that very few champions have this level of goofyness in their face model.

Also i understand that this is your opinion but ive been playing both Fioras recently and i just cant not see the goofy derp face in the new model. Maybe if this Fiora was a new release with nothing before i could live with it. But ive SEEN the better version and that's the one their getting rid of and i see no reason too.

so, the problem i see with this is she has a VERY strong hourglass figure. she had one before, but they made her bust and hips wider by a considerable amount, but her waist was shrunk it looks like. looks like some 1960's idealized figure. or a gourd. either or

Her new face looks like she watched 2girls1cup and then decided to commit suicide by overinflating herself with helium but the helium tank ran out halfway.

Omg, it is such a messy job by riot. I think they rushed Fiora or something. She looks like she's an older fatter woman.

All they had to do is improvements, not create a new crapy champion. New textures, some hd models, not destroying the champions looks. If they don't do that i will simply download the old skin and overwrite the new model. All she needs is the new textures to amplify the looks of the champion, old skin with new hd textures and model and job done well nobody complains.
