Here's why the new champions suck. (DOWNVOTE ME, COME ON!)

Yeah, let the downvotes commence! I can't have an opinion unless that opinion is "Riot is always right and everything they make is perfect"! DOWNVOTE ME, FANBOYS!! I AIM TO REACH -100!!! Bury my threads and shun me for being a non-believer!!!

With that out of the way, let me waste my time by expressing a view that will only get me a hundred insults by fanboys and will be completely ignored by Riot devs.

1) There is no reason for Xayah and Rakan to be vasaya. All they have is anime cat ears and bird feet. There is nothing bestial or animal-like about them. You could have made them 100% human and NOTHING AT ALL would have changed about them, who they are, or their design. If Riot has stepped to add random cat ears and fluff only for the sake of it, I shudder at how they follow the logic of the worst Korean mmorpg.

2) Xayah has a very troublesome case of sameface. I thought Riot said they were gonna differentiate their female characters. But if a picture of Xayah was floating on the internet and it was declared that it represents a new Ahri skin, EVERYONE WOULD BELIEVE IT'S AN AHRI SKIN.

Ok 2 things:

  1. have a downvote; you literally ask for it so have a downvote. I never really downvote post but this is literally asking for it.

  2. people might not disagree with you because they are lol fanboys; they might disagree because they have a different opinion then you have(gasp).

You know I wonder if people who make posts like this either crave the negative attention or just love being downvoted to hell

1)Not sure how a human would produce all these feathers that Xayah is shooting.Or the ones that Rakan uses for his Q.And Rakan is clearly based on a pheasant,which fits his dandy-like personality.Not to mention that Xayahs entire character seems to revolve around the difference between Vastaya and humans. Also by that logic then you could argue that there is no reason for Rengar to be a lionman,or Wukong to be a monkey as their kits could work just as well on a human.

2)I partly agree with that point.She does look a bit like a mix of Kata and Ahri and overall I wouldn't say her face stands out among the female champs,but I wouldn't say that it looks completely identical either.

Having bird like feet on a human is more impactful than having something like fox ears, which Ahri herself has.

Plus there's all the feathers on their skin. I have a feeling you're just really salty because this reason was really poor.

Riot trying to diversify their lineup doesn't always mean they have to do it for every champion. As much as I like diversity in body type, not everyone has to be a Illaoi or Taliyah.

  1. Except both also have a natural cloack of plumes that acts as a single wing (God, seeing them attempting to fly away alone and fail because of 1 wing is nearly moving).

  2. Xayah only similarities with Ahri are the animal ears and straight hair, if you are so strict about looks we would need just 1 Yordle.

The new Characters are really great to look at. Very well done.

Idk if you know this, but they're from the same Race as Ahri is now, so it'd make sense that they look similar.

You need to chill. I literally didn't read the rest of your post because you started it by saying anyone who disagree's with you is a fan boy. Have your downvote my dude. You and your shitty attitude earned it.

Do birds have ears?...

  1. Yeah might as well make all the champions humans and give nothing unique about them
  2. Little agreement, but they don't look too similar imo
