Why are her legs like twice as long as her body? To me, she had a mature and graceful appearance, one of a young but not too young female warrior that inspired and looked charming. Now she looks like a teenager with hips one and a half times as wide as her shoulders are.

Also I think that determined but still graceful voice is somewhat lost from what I heard. It seems too.. raspy. Just me? :/

It's because her model was designed for game camera

Do not question the butt. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d1dac6595b081e808b3aae74a9d986a40dd0dc817b8e516f416566f0fcaaec5e.png

Embrace the butt.

Because champion models are made to look the best from the ingame perspective, from the top. People often complain about disproportionate models and call them mistakes while they are actually intentional and what makes the champion look good in the actual game. Not to mention the fact you literally took the most awkward mid animation screenshot that doesn't represent the champion properly anyway. /thread

So many people asked for a thicc frost butt skin. Now players are going to complain her thighs/hips are too extra thicc?

Make up your minds!

She's like Chun Li and I have no problem with that

Actually look at someone's body.

The legs, if you include the upper thighs are actually much longer than a lot of people imagine.

Looks like Snooky from Jersey Shore.

Determined but still graceful voice - She's been to war. Her voice sounds hard because her life has been hard.

Saw the rework and I have to say it looks nice, but I think the old Irelia looks better. The new Irelia proportions look fine, except her torso could be longer. The width of her hips doesn't seem unnatural, but the shortness of her torso does. If that makes her appear taller then that might be cool.

Also, I've been wondering what her auto range is. I would love to see her be viable in the bot lane.
