Why does Kayle look like she could be prestige bullet angel Kai'sa?

  • very similar helmet shape
  • thigh high leg armor that's the same approximate silhouette
  • large shoulder/wings
  • lightly armored arms
  • skintight spandex suit with similar patterns

I guess it is bullet angel kai'sa, but still.

Hey, it's got the White and Gold color scheme, just and an event.

Your giving prestige skins to much credit. They wouldn't have as much changes - being the laziest skin line after all.

New Kayle is an abomination that takes away EVERYTHING that was unique about Kayle. I haven't felt this betrayed since i heard reworked Aatrox's voice.

I wish i'd never seen this rework. I wish i'd kept living blissfully unaware of how they massacred Kayle's identity to turn her into another generic Kaisa.

WHY DOES MORGANA LOOKS LIKE A SEXY AND CUTE MIX BETWEEN Xayah and Evelynn ???

That's downright disappointing

Wow that is the ugliest helmet I have ever seen.

tbh I'm getting more of a Captain Marvel vibe from her.

Riot's art team seems not to have a lot of range in their designs.

Wait, what? That's not a chroma?

because riot has no originality when it comes to female visual design, kai`sai her release was a prime example of that

I dont know. Why dont any of the female characters have armor over their visceral organs?

Nice observation.

Well, I guess there might be a scientific reason whether in real life or in the world of Runeterra for the hip spoilers/blades or whatever you want to call them, but I can't fathom why they did that to Kayle's shoulder armor and your observation seems to hit the nail on the head. I don't think they were thinking too hard about how practical it would be for Kayle to have that kind of armor on her shoulder but if they did then they seriously didn't care if it looks super unrealistic to anyone that would imagine having to wear that stuff. It looks to me like maybe they just tried to 'make her look like this' as you are presenting these pictures side by side. I never really liked this Kai'Sa skin anyways.

I guess this proves that they rushed the designs or that they really don't care if champions look similar to each other. The Kayn legendary skin looks like Ekko(not default Ekko of course, but one of his skins...BTW, default Ekko has aged poorly) because they changed his animations so drastically.

I'm okay with artists coming up with something and not changing it in general, but when you need clarity in a video game, it's a shame that the philosophy goes where it doesn't need to. It's completely understandable to make mistakes. And a lot of art is meant to be at least a little bit inaccurate simply because we're quite imperfect. But when you have digital art going on, it's expected that you make changes to something that doesn't make sense.

Honestly Kai'Sa was the first one I thought about when I saw Kayle's leg armor/spandex combo.

her splash art is also the exact same angle and pose as fiora, feels like riot just likes making cookie cutter champions.

Prepare for ''Kyle prestige edition'' right after the rework.

  • Morgana prestige as well. xD
