2/22 PBE Update: Splash and Skin Tweaks

...and for the most part, it's fine. I mean, it does look a bit more like armor now. But as it stands, Kayle still has the purple spandex pants and over the last few days of looking at it, it is getting on my nerves a bit. That's just not how I view Kayle, it's very odd for her to have that.

I don't know if Riot may/will be willing to continue adding changes to the model, like adding her tabard back or make an option to toggle her helmet in final form (have a plume made of fire for it for more classic feel), because at this point it's most likely Riot won't do much besides gameplay balancing her next week, but I kind of hope they do. I might now play her now but, like many people, we have an idea on what a champs iconic look should be and Kayle, while slightly closer now, I think needs just a bit more work.

Also, I believe there needs to be adjustments to the splash art to better suit the breastplate.

The picture posted there is wrong or Riot are officially trolling.

As was feared.

They will refuse to do anything below the waist.

I had to toggle back and forth between the old and new versions a dozen times before I finally spotted the difference: the breastplate no longer has gaps that extend to her armpits. I mean, it still leaves her most vulnerable areas (torso and thighs) unprotected, but it's an improvement over the first iteration.

The chest is so weirdly form fitting, especially w/ the V shape.

It looks as though someone drew a triangle on a piece of paper and then folded it up.

It works for cloth or leather armour, but plate?

Hopefully we get a breastplate w/ a raised protrusion and the tabard(?) posted in this thread.

Aha! They're pretty much trolling. That "edit" is like one of those can-you-spot-the-tiny-difference games. This is Riot's way of saying "Screw you idiots, we know you'll keep giving us $$$$ so we'll be as sexist as we like. Look forward to an Illaoi VU that changes her physique from bodybuilder to Vi 2.0".

So, Riot. Do you want me to make a post on what armor looks like? Cuz you seem to be having problems with this.

My, probably misplaced sarcasm aside. I guess this is better. Still think the design is worse than current Kayle, even if graphically it is better, of course.

well it is a Demacian style, Lux has the same kind of armor. So im not opposed to it except for the fact im opposed to her being Demacian now in general.

In no way did this address the criticisms.

Yeah, drawing all the viewer’s attention to her belly, crotch, and inner thighs is pretty yikes.
