6 of the women in that picture have "fat tits"

runes were shit, but your reason for hating them is one of the stupidest i've ever seen. You choose runes at character select, they're no more something you choose "outside" of the game than which character you're playing is.
Runes were shit because they had to be unlocked with IP, not because you chose which runes you used before the match. because the match actually starts at the character select screen.

I think they got rid of runes and replaced them with an even worse system last i heard.

Runes are free but not game deciding anymore. Meta was shit for last 2 years and is back to season 3/4.

You're buffing or changing stats before a match. That's bullshit. Players should be able to immediately know what they're dealing with at the onset of the match.
But yeah, the IP thing was abysmal.

It is for a MOBA. Leave distinct memorable designs for the games where the characters actually matter.

Maybe it wasn't the same one? She's a mass produced model.

No.
But weebs and nu-males eat it up since they're so deprived of female contact and attention, every little decision in their lives is dominated by 'does it have generic, cute young girls in it'.

Imagine being that fucked up that you can't do something as insignificant as play a videogame without their brain screaming 'booobs booobs boobs' over and over? Imagine how fucked your life has to be to be reduced to that.

I'm really lazy, but League literally has one bodytype, the generic supermodel body. You have one or two anomalies like Illaoi... Actually, no, she's pretty much the only one. Out of over 50 characters.

You're forgetting Taliyah , Jinx and Annie.

Literally none of them have fat tits bar Ahri. The closest was Morgana before, but it was nerfed with her recent rework.
Unless you consider Bs and Cs 'fat'.

Really runes weren't that bad apart from the IP thing, and cheese like the single crit rune people ran. But i agree the runes you were using should be displayed on the character select screen to everyone, and on the scoreboard.
Always hated how even during pro games they wouldn't show what runes they were running.

Sona has tits. Also Miss Fortune, drawn by the same artist.

I'd rather take generic beautiful than generic ugly. If your "memorable and realistic" designs weren't all the exact same fucking tumblr chesklist of brown mystery meat womyn with the as many flaws, and as little as feminine characteristic as possible, you'd have a point.

It's become an increasingly popular form of attention seeking lately.

>moeblob poster
Ironic

Just have different silhouettes. There's a lot of different types of model beautiful women and Riot is using just one and it's getting so bad that they themselves have said that it's hard to make skins for them because they're just the same woman in a different costume (leblanc is just a sexy woman with a staff)

not sure why they'd even bother making new Leblanc skins, they already nailed the perfect design for one.

Her rework is less awful than I thought it would be. Granted I really dislike her base, Silver, and Viridian designs though. I miss the simplistic looking armor

The system they were replaced with is objectively better in every fucking way

She went down like 3 cup sizes and her face doesn't look like her face anymore, she looks more related to Xayah than Kayle

Xayah is a fucking plank and Kai'Sa is pretty modest because her focus is her ass anyway.

there's more to a character design than their face retard

Her ass looks exactly like every other ass in the game.

Fucking inhuman gooks

Not really and her outfit highlights hers more. Irelia's ass is actually huge though, she actually looks silly

yamette

I'll never not be mad that they reduced her breast size and made her eyes blue instead of amber compared to her older iteration.

The in game model is the same and her old art was crap anyway. It's luke the fags that got mad at Akali's original art getting changed even though that shit looked atrocious

>her old art was crap
what was wrong with it? i'm not an artfag so maybe that's why, but i vastly prefer over

middle looks like an ayylmao

Yes they should exclusively make characters without faces.

You fucking retard.

...No, it's not. Again. It looks literally the same as any other.
Go look at Kat or Kayle in that one skin with pants, or MF.
They all have the exact some body. You're delusional as fuck.

Liking art is subjective so neither is better than the other in that sense, but the newer one has leaps better technique. Color theory, values and all. The newer one is more produced so that might be why it doesn't have the same charm as the older one.

That's true, but the design of the older one was better if only because Sona had more than one colour involved with her.

Her ingame model is even bigger than before though.

What are you even talking about? You don't make any sense.

Seething fatass, wtf do you think fit women (only real-world analog we have for LoL fighters) look like? Most fit women are skinny, very few are noticably muscular and none are fat besides olympic weightlifters or something

Yes it is, Irelia's model is fucked up and has goofy proportions, they don't use the same goddamn models and that's a stupid thing to suggest.

Honestly my least favorite part about the game nowadays, even despite the rampant unbalance that grows with every champion they release nowadays.

I'm an artist and I vastly prefer the old art, by far. Modern designs, 80% of times, are so fucking homogenized and generic. You used to be able to look at a champion and instantly get a good idea of what they're like.

Look at Draven. You immediately know he's a dude that's going to get in your face and just fucking hammer you. Look at Caitlyn. Instantly, you know she favors range, is probably slow and all about poke.

Look at Kai'sa. You get absolutely no clue or anything regarding what she's like or does.

The only thing that's gotten better design-wise at Riot is the rendering of their splash arts. Not the composition, not the anatomy, nothing. Just fancy coloring and effects.

The game is just immensely forgettable now. It used to be hammy and occasionally pretty bad, but I'll take that any day over fucking generic.

Attached: 1483698669871.jpg (236x312, 21K)

Nigga don't waste money on characters.

I never said they use the same models. I said they have the same relative proportions.
The only thing that might even make you consider otherwise is the fact that the newer champions have more complex geometry and are larger, to show those details.

But put them side by side, scale them, and you'll see. Exactly the same thing. Same generic hourglass every single female has.

How quick do you accumulate RP or whatever the fuck they call it?

>Look at Draven. You immediately know he's a dude that's going to get in your face and just fucking hammer you
You mean Darius.

Well yeah they have similar body tyoes with mild variance here and there with some being leaner than others (Shyvana comes to mind, Jinx is a twig), but I don't see why its a problem either.

New one just looks way more generic. Old league art had a pretty consistent aesthetic that had an almost storybook feel to it.

been a long time since i played, but 5 bucks gets you any of the 3150 champs right? for waifus at that price you've got about 5 choices, from most fun to least fun they are
Anivia, Leblanc, Pantheon, Nidalee, Sona

Nice to know they’ve at least made her look good in her skins compared to just looking like crap in her default skin. Don’t get why everyone thinks it’s wrong for a Valkrye to have armor and not some weird bodysuit

>"nooo stop making attractive characters when i'm so ugly irl reee!"

I still remember quite a few from my time playing DotA
And obviously from HotS as those characters are major in all their respective franchises

Kai'sas pose, animations and design all suggest speed, wariness and agility, which is very much how she plays in game. Short range but quick and hard to pin down.

No, they don't. She moves slow as fuck, her form is clunky because of her wings and you have no idea of her range because she has no visible weaponry.

This is basic design 101. She has no identifying traits and only gets a pass because they gave her a button nose and big lips in the splash art. That's all it takes to appease people nowadays. That's why every new splash art of female characters has those.

>Kai'sa
>Slow
>Wings
>No visible weaponry

Do you even play the game?

Just a numbers issue. It's easy to create 3 characters - just go full archetype dps/tank/heal. It's a problem to create 200+. The only way to maximize making them different is mixing it up and making them less distinct to their own role.

You can see the same problem already with much smaller class pools in general (mmo's , fighter,...). About 20+ characters you already have a high overlay.

I agree 100%. You can create 200 unique, interesting characters, hell, you could create 1000, but you can't create them on a fixed schedule. That's how you get completely bland shit like Quinn and generic pretty girls like Kai'sa because they're out of ideas.

They still nail it here and there, but it's rare. Jhin is fantastic. Tahm Kench is great, too.

But Sylas? What a fucking forgettable champion. The perfect example is comparing old Kayle and Morgana's voices with the new ones. Old ones were cheesy, dramatic and edgy. The new ones... I honestly struggle remembering anything they said. They sound like some girl next door arguing with her sister about who gets to wear the yoga pants. It's awful.

Everyone there but Leblanc, Kaisa and Xayah are fine. Goddamn all the new female champions suck shit. The last hot one was Kalista, the last one with a good personality was Rek'sai and the last well written one was Illaoi.
Morg is a cute barefoot goth girl though, and is therefore the peak of character design.

I think there might be too much upper management involvement and they're not letting people who went to schools for this do their jobs without meddling and saying "try this, let's do it this way". The character artists have said that (for skins) the model sheets they make are detailed and cool and rendered (not how any character artist likes them because you can't see details clearly) because they try to impress people in meetings and get the designs approved by people who know nothing about character design. I bet when they were reworking kayle they had some techbro breathing down their necks and tell them to ditch the armor and make her "more sexy" instead of listening to fans who liked her armor.

In a fantasy world where things are the way we wish they were, ugly women, fat women, and roided women don't exist.

OLD GOOD NEW BAD

I fucking hate you people crawling out of the wood work when it comes to reworks. Old Kayle has something like six lines. SIX. Her voicework "cheesy, dramatic and edgy", IT'S NOT FUCKING THERE. If you can even remember any of those six lines, it's because they're repeated endlessly because there are so few of them, not because they're memorable.

The problem is, plenty of people want and like roided/fat/ugly women.
And worse yet, plenty of people who don't like that, but because they've been so constantly exposed to 'Ahri without tails nr 235' that they want literally anything else.

It's not even wanting ugly characters just different. there are different kind of sexy. I dislike how they reuse the same model with the same proportions for like a huge percentage of the female roster when there could be thicker and thinner characters. Maybe a thief with a gaunt, but sexy face instead of the same copy paste face every single time. Or maybe the chin could be longer or the lips could be thinner. The actress who plays Galadriel for example is super beautiful and different than literally all the "sexy" champions in LoL

Did you even read the post, you seething manchild? I literally praised two modern champions.

Has nothing to do with it being old or new. There's obviously been a shift in direction when it comes to design. The OP's picture shows it. Almost every female has the exact same face because that's what they perceive to be the most attractive to most people. But being attractive doesn't constitute or substitute good design. (Ahri's design comes to mind. She's attractive, and yet, her design is awful)

Old Kayle did have six lines. New Kayle probably has over one hundred. Do you honestly think they can write 100 lines that are going to be memorable or interesting? No, and each one muddles the others. Obviously the low number helped, but for the first minute of watching the video showing Kayle and Morg's lines I honestly couldn't tell who was speaking without looking.
That's the biggest red flag in VO and writing. You, and plenty of other retards think more lines + better quality and more popular VAs = better VO.

Jhin has good, clear VO that's interesting, well-written and acted, and is very distinct. He also has a lot of lines. Where's your argument now, you drooling retard?

Again, one hundred percent agree. They are clearly capable (Jinx comes to mind, even if I find her disgusting-looking) they just don't want to because their design is 100% focused and only appealing to the majority. There are unfortunately way too many brainrot addled manchildren (look in this thread for proof) that don't care about anything other than 'does she have big lips and a small nose, and can I see her tits' in deciding whether or not a design is good.
Those people are the majority. But even they subconsciously realize it's shit. Champions don't have fanart and followings and jokes and things made about them like they did before. People don't care anymore, it's just another sex doll. That's all almost every new champion is. A sex doll, a dude nobody cares about, or some anthro animal.

These designs are highly problematic, right Yea Forums?

You claim that old Kayle had memorable and interesting lines while the new one does not.The old one barely has any lines at all, and the ones she does have are generic and average. Meanwhile, among shittons of lines the new one has good stuff like: vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/9/9d/Kayle_Original_054.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20190223190610
vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/6/68/Kayle_Original_179.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20190223192657

She also gets new lines as she progresses through the game, showing how she gets further from humanity.

There is no goddamn way to claim that the old Kayle is better voiced than the new one.

When Overwatch dies at least they have memorable characters they can reuse for other projects and merch. When LoL dies the only reusable female character is like Jinx. I literally can't see Ahri in a game outside League, she doesn't have any personality.

Compare her instead to characters like Sion, Jhin or Tahm Kench, who have like 200 lines and every single one is memorable. Riot failed the goal of reworks, to better execute the concept of the character, and almost every single VO in the last 2 years has been garbage in comparison to those 2 years before that. When those 6 lines were there, there was potential for an interesting character to be behind them, but now that potential is gone and there is nothing but half-assed reality.

There is. I listen to those files and I can barely place the character. Hell, if you didn't tell me, I probably wouldn't know who was saying the second line (the first is obvious because of the wings/sister thing).

Listen to Illaoi. Immediately recognizable. Unique. Listen to old Morg, then new Morg. No, they're not saying deep things, but that's the fucking point. They now drone on and on about literally everything. It's too much, and it's hard to make it stand out.

I claimed old Kayle was unique and memorable. I didn't say she was written well. I never mentioned writing. You heard her voice and you knew what she was. An imperious, bottom-line angel. Morgana was a rebellious, twisted angel.

These just sound like two random girls. Having millions of lines and commenting on every champion doesn't change that. It's called oversaturation, user, and it's a problem that plagues every facet of the game.
