Unedited Kayle look better than the edited one

So this is the original design of rework Kayle https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Bt8KDnoZkDc/XG2cytJ9duI/AAAAAAABPA8/bvwbfvmwgdUKHLuKMMrrGbatDJz-bcEMACLcBGAs/s1600/collage-kayle.jpg https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-b3dD880fEEo/XG206tGU7eI/AAAAAAABPGQ/SDcXI7EH3K0tTRszO0-uqjftNuilLUZlgCLcBGAs/s1600/25000.jpg After some complain about the lack of armor, riot decide to make some edit, and this is the result https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LU8eRPYu6tU/XHBnnSBzgwI/AAAAAAABPXc/PDk01K1rk6ILTQBXyF9-7THiMEpegnyWgCLcBGAs/s640/kayle.png https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5lnBbf8cd-Q/XHRJ0F_3SSI/AAAAAAABPd8/0JlTAYRhV0ISqOVjG2Z4krpvuOCrd1sqgCLcBGAs/s1600/25000.jpg

I although I much prefer the prework full armor design, the edited armor looks horrible on Kayle. It looks like she put some slabs of marble on her chest instead of armor, and those crevices on the armor is a sore to the eyes when viewing from the in game top down camera.

I will really miss the prerework Kayle design, but I would rather seeing her got release with the unedited version than the version with the slapdash armor that seem to be very out of place.

I kinda like the new look. It feels a bit more like what an Aspect of Justice would choose, utility and practicality over... well, "Breast" plate. Even this design has a little of it, but I'm just happy with what they gave us.

I also think a "waist cape", for lack of a better term, could look nice, but isn't really necessary. I've seen people do renderings of what she looks like with one and I've always liked it. Another tiny change would be shrinking whatever the spikes on the side of her shoulder pads are, but thats just a personal preference.

Granted this is all my personal tastes, so its by nature opinionated and not objective

I think the edited one is less practical. It is too thick thus limiting maneuverability as well as breathing. It also form a sharp spike directly over her belly that will constantly poke her stomach every time she lean forward.

Well, armor is supposed to be thick, so thats normal, and people breated fine in thick armor historically. I have to yield about the spike, that part isn't very practical and seems more dangerous than any sword an enemy could posses hahaha.

Not really though, full plate armor is usually about 2mm in thickness at max. The splash art look like it is 2-4cm in thickness and make of marble. I think the original look more authentic than the edited one.

Supposedly, the white stuff was always supposed to be armor. So the old design would gut herself just like the new.

You are correct that new Kayle’s armor is not good armor or particularly utilitarian. But as armor it is slightly better than the unedited.

But if you want good armor designs in LoL you’re just not going to find any.

This looks like she has muscle armor underneath her boobs

The edited version.

I think its the white shoulder pad "lines" that are the most off putting

The one where they changed her breastplate to be less form fitting and giving it a thicker look. That by itself wouldn't be a problem but they also layered her armor beneath her boobs which just looks strange.

The worst part is the 3D model. If the sport bra was not bad enough, the line under her boobs of the edited armor make it look even more janky.
