He looks...
Young?
Like ridiculously young compared to what his story had always implied before hand.
Like I'm not a Xin Zhao player so it's not like this affects me personally, but it certainly does leave me scratching my head.
He looks way yonger than he should.
I mean this is his in-game model. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/5d/Xin_Zhao_Render.png/revision/20170922010039 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/5/5d/Xin_Zhao_Render.png/revision/20150117205032
Is the dude getting a VU, cause that Splash basically looks like a VU Xin Zhao.
Hmm something feels off about this...
Really great piece of art. Props to Riot art team.
And I agree that he looks kind a young. I don't really read lore much so I don't know what he supposed to look like. But in this splash he looks like he's early 20s or something like that. Whatever, I admire the good art, and this is one of them.
Looking at his old splash art i thought his armor was brown lol
he looks beautiful
Don't make him some 20year old cocky duchebag we already got Kayn for that.
Please update his ingame model
Pls Riot make the same Splash update for Garen, this color are so beautifull It's so demacian.
he looks cool
Blue Steel Xin Zhao XD
This definitely fits Demacia a lot better, but looks nothing like he does in-game. He should just get a model or even a texture update to better align him to the splash (which is awesome).
finally, and it reminds a lot of Dynasty Warriors
Oh yah, my boy look kicking now. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
Within Xin being connected to Noxus lore I want a Xin lore Update to come soon since his is outdated. I hate him in game, but i love lore
Why does Xin Zhao look Asian?
TL;DR - Xin Zhao is an Ionian who was captured by Noxus during their invasion of Ionia and was force to fight as a gladiator. He swore allegiance to Demacia after Demacian forces freed him.
