i dont understand why its necessary. riot has this obsession with inclusion with clove in valorant and now aurora in league. it makes 0 sense. they need to stop.
Her thighs are of the same size, they just draw her thigh high to bite into the thighs making it more plump and rounded, a classic trick. Her face in the splash art also got more rounded and larger.
yeah, the thigh design choice was a good one. she looks more real and natural that way. idk about the chest size increase, though making her chest bigger doesn't inherently mean they're sexualizing the character. perhaps they just wanted to adjust some proportions from a design standpoint.
Nothing wrong with sexualizing, we're sexual beings. Most people love it, it sells on top of that. Man are also sexualized constantly before any feminists pop up. Plenty wrong with censorship. I guess the game is rated for teens.
I wonder how riot defines autisim what about her is autistic? Does she think in a manner that is autistic does she act in a manner that is autistic? Where is she on the spectrum? Or is it a shallow look at us we did something that we deem virtuous and she simply is labled as autistic? 🤷🏾♂️

Another thing is the first splash art makes her look very slim and athletic, while the second makes her look a bit more pudgy, more appropriate for a witch-like character.

Honestly, idgaf about the Aurora splashart being "sexualized." Every male release bar Millio who is literally a child, has been shirtless with 8% body fat and biceps the size of my head. I don't have a problem with that either as long as it goes both ways. So fuck it, WE'RE SO BACK
When it comes to Auroras old design All I seen was Porcelain Doll After the changes she looks more natural which in my opinion is good Tho would add more damn clothes SHE IS FROM FRELJORD AND IS NOT AN A ICEBORN
Shes a vastayan and meant to be fluffy/have fur but I do agree is doesn't rly come across in her design a huge amount, or at lease as much as it should. You can see in in the promo and splash but in game no chance
@@asken2791Works as an excuse for her legs and feet. I don't get why her shoulders are uncovered though. What's the point of a big fur collar if you're gonna let it just hang off to the sides. Àlso her hair there looks really short so it'd probably do a poor job blocking the cold.
@@legorocketraccoon8297 her Hair being red also makes little sense cause she is a White Snow Bunny and since she resembles more someone like Wukong or Rengar her hair resemble her fur
I am of the opinion they should stop limiting the character designs because of people getting too offended. Let the people have what they want Also people are gonna get flamed for playing her watch
Well. When I saw her concepts and the result, like how she looks, "redhead bunny girl with glasses, who looks cute" I was ready to buy her at start, when I saw her skill kit, I said that will main her. And now she got "buffed". Yo, Riot. Thank you.
Arent the aurora changes more for proportion? If they only make her face bigger, but her body stays the same size, the proportion of head x body wouldnt be ideal. Either way, I dont really care, at the end of the day its not like u can really see anything besides a bit of her thighs, which i also think were made thicker cuz of the added fur on them.
No absolutely not lol, speaking as someone who's been an artist for a long time(Not quite a riot artist level, but close enough that I can understand the things they do) and a NSFW artist for a large portion of it, the changes they made were very specifically targeting her sexual appeal... Even the changes to the lighting specifically highlight key points of 'interest' better. Personally, not a huge fan of it since I think it runs counter to the narrative of her being autistic, since it puts a lot more focus on her external surface level appeal And those proportions, she went from a highly attractive woman, to basically a porn parody of herself... I'm a fan of the art of sexual character design, but I wish they would show more restraint to characters that it just doesn't make much sense to be sexualizing. Keep it to the Samira's, Evelynn's, Sylas's, Ahri's where you have more to say with it, and let there be more ways of expressing a characters appeal than just "are they hot"
The thing they changed was her proportions not for them. If the head was to big the body could just be changed in size to match. Whereas in this the actual proportions of the body changed. The chest and thighs had a completely different shape as well as size
I like the changes, I like the fact that they don't care anymore to that dialogue, like women can be pretty without it meaning sexualized, and women can be not sexualized without being strong featured and in full covered Body suits, although I prefer the hoodie version we got in the comic that's fine I guess
@@gabrieladernebraga9339 If she says she likes trains I'll permaban her. That would be the most blatant stereotyping I've seen to this day. And whether you like the fact that they added weight to her tits or not (which, hey, I'm all for lol), the lighting, magical effect, and fabric texture changes were all clear downgrades in my eyes
Not sure why riot feel the need to stamp the autistic label on aurora, and what I mean by this is that there is another champion (extremely similar in design) that is very evidently autistic, and she wasn't plastered with the autistic label. I'm talking about Lillia. My autistic friend likes Lillia because: "she's literally me" so It's really evident that they've reached the inclusivity and representation quota already. Of course I shouldn't need to say this, but having more autistic champions shouldn't be taken off the table, and should remain a thing. The real problem I among others have is that riot will make a champion, and just slap the label on that they're autistic, without using the "show don't tell" principle of effective character design. Basically riot being lazy and/or admitting they can't be bothered ACTUALLY making the champion autistic. And that's where the issue lies.
In my opinion, there's a handful of other champions that seem autistic to me (Based on my experiences playing as them as an autistic person): Ryze, Poppy, Heimerdinger, Yorick, Ornn, also Singed and Jinx but there's a lot wrong with those two so it's hard to say
tl;dr was tarzaned felt like he was wronged by dantes felt that dantes was a douche thus he leaked their discord dms that contained dantes flirting with other e-whores and laura's abortion. dantes eventually streamed it along with laura. tarzaned didnt care and removed himself from the drama and just full cleared jungle with noc.
They have no problem making male champs with sexy hip lines, shirtless 8 packs, perfect jaws... it's nice to see a female champ get the same treatment for the first time in awhile. It's been a long time since there's been a traditionally hot female champ. Not saying the other champ designs aren't good, but it's been too long since we got something.... idk. Normal? It's just nice to see is all.
Would I have preferred a more animalistic champion after we were promised a bunny champion? Yes. Do I think that her design is kinda gauche and a little unfitting? Yes. Did they also put thick thighs in my face and give me a mage with a massive witch hat? Also yes. Its hypocritical, but I aint complaining
Massive agree. Honestly in my fucking fantasy games, i dont wanna be the slightly handicapped and realistical male, i dont wanna be the overweight but confident female that had to overcome adversity. I wanna be big booba hot girl or big badass unbreakable guy. Leave the real problems in the real world.
@@tommyman1047 that's perfectly fine, but you have to understand that some people want characters in video games and media to represent them. They want to see someone who looks like them being powerful and doing cool shit. They don't wanna feel like they can't do those things because of who they are. And that's valid too. There's a place for both Conan the Barbarian, and Viktor from Arcane to be in the same setting with the same amount of power.
@@minimonkeymasher8888 Viktor was peak manliness in any show ever created. Never complained. Just went to work, literally sacrificing himself for the progress of humanity and making life better for people like him. IDC whether you're a scrawny boy or a ripped gymbro, that mentality is aspirational
@@minimonkeymasher8888 thats alright to some extent, but every game nowadays gets attacked for having unrealistic characters and beauty standards to the point that it pushes companies to comply, the whole idea of roleplaying used to be, being someone else, not being just like yourself and being supermen out of nowhere
Riot probably saw all of the thirst for her already and decided to accentuate her features a little more. Not a big deal tbh, if you freak out over this you should get offline for a while imo. The lighting is a massive improvement though.
Ahri’s character is inherently sexual whereas Aurora’s isn’t. I don’t really care either way but I can understand someone not being a fan of characters who aren’t meant to be sexual, being sexualised and vice versa. If anything it takes away from the characters who are meant to have their sex appeal being a part of their character because it then becomes just normal design.
Ahri is sexualized to further her fantasy and design, whereas Aurora's sexualization works against her design. One is basically a succubus who lives in a jungle-ified wealthy-seeming society, the other is an autistic nerd who lives in Siberia. You probably see where people might take offense here. I see where you're coming from though. Most people won't think about the impact this decision has on her design, they're just made that _another_ girl was objectified.
her thighs are the same size, they just made the socks bite into her thigh some more, which makes her look less like a doll and more real. increasing proportions doesn't inherently mean they are sexualizing the character.
@@KRESTFELL The base design was already sexualised; I think that is where the issue lies, and the adjustments made weirdly make her more sexualised despite being done for proportions. I don't think you realise that the people who found her attractive before would probably find her more so now in regards to the splash art.
i really hope they actually give aurora autistic traits instead of just having the label tacked onto her like how dumbledore was retroactively made gay
The worst offender with the new splash art is, they made Aurora more voloptuous, but her waist stayed the same. Like she is already traversing a frozen tundra in a mini skirt, but then this? Damn.
What’s wrong with bigger breasts and thighs? Are you saying that women shouldn’t have that? Like bro, it’s okay, it’s okay for women to be sexy and have breast, cleavage, thighs, etc….
1:12 bro is everyone just immune to humour? This is clearly just joking around with how women talk with their "slayy" and "yass" slang. It has NOTHING to do with pride month.
As a gay Gen z, the riot tweet is honestly lowkey funny in a sense of taking into account stan twitter, floptok and niche queer humour. But It just feels like corporate exploitation of modern queer gen z humour.
@@azizkash286 literally what aspect of what I said did you not understand? I'm talking about how it feels like Riot's attempt at being "relatable" to their newer younger playerbase by referencing our modern internet culture.
I did not even notice the body changes, but the lighting, colors and overall look of the new splash art (we even lost details on her outfit) is very inferior to the previous one. I thought they messed up and put a preliminary artwork instead of the finished one. I guess the best compromise would be to keep the previous splash but add only the body changes.
They made the magical effects much less interesting, and removed most of the texture that was rendered in the original. It's a shame too, cause the coat looked fucking amazing before.
I remember when Riot would not involve themselves and their games in the politics of the real world because they knew that that is a good way to upset people when you dont mean to as you cannot please everyone. They just let people fill things in for themselves like assuming Graves is gay when nothing suggested this. I guess the people that were smart enough to do this left Riot.
By "not involving themselves" that is also political, them expressing human interest is not a problem, them expressing corporate PR shit disguised as human interest IS a problem. Quit your coping
@@stephenkrahling1634 No, that's not a valid explanation, because that would mean all dimensions of human interaction are political in nature, like how you call your parents. They were focusing on the game's thematic before, now they are concerned over real-life politics because you gaslighted them into thinking identity politics isn't politics because you say so, while also saying everything is political. And now it's biting them in the ass because they can't even make a valley-girl joke without someone being offended. All of this could be solved if they ignored you and your perpetual gaslighting.
Gay and autistic people exising isn't political as much as straight and nuerotypical people existing isn't political. This is a brain dead take, but you are a League player so it checks out
@@user-pr1dh2bw6k "... They were focusing on the game's thematic before, now they are concerned over real-life politics..." couldnt have put it better myself. A clear statement of what the real problem is
I mean every recent male character besides hwei and milio (a literal child) has been a super ripped shirtless/semi dude. So honestly who cares as long as they keep sexualizing both genders that way we are all happy
video games are meant to be escapism and fun to play and to look at personally, after riot dropped like 4-5 shirtless jacked men in a row, they have no excuse to not make a sexy female characters besides, it will sell better, we all know it attractive does not have to mean the character cant look badass, strong or any other thing make. hot. champs.
The music in this video is great! Full and uncut. Such a pleasant experience as I go about my morning. Kudos to the editor. 😉 (Literally earned my sub. I randomly clicked on your vid both times and this time heard the music, heard it not cut off and thought “no way this is the same guy”. Changed it based on one complaint. Absolute legend.)
It's a world where magic is everywhere, the lore is amazing, and the character, and the champion have deep back story and nice idea behind the art. And somewhere, there is the new champion, an experience vampire who get out, an emo artist who see his school be destroied by a friend, a baby dragon who get kidnap and learn human speach, and an autistic lady bunny friend with the demi god Ornn. That all, no description, no others story, i mean there is other champion who don't have a lot of story, but they are old or not big enough in the lore for making story, it's more easy to give a depression to a human who get posses by a god and get traumatise and start a depression, then explain why a vastaya who is more a magic creature then human be autistic, or how a vastaya who came from Ionia go to a snow desert in the middle of nowhere. I mean if you think of it, that don't make sense, who in is right mind prefer to go there then in an other land, even if she is not affected by the temperature, the food is rare and the danger is everywhere. It's just stupid and i think a bit lazy from Riot to give that type of information who are useless then telling how she get there, why she was there in the first place, why she can control magic that easily, how was her relation has a child (and because she is autistic that can be really great to explore). The champ has a lot of story to tell, but that go nowhere and they try to hide the lack of story behind a mini game (a fantastic one, where her design was better ngl) and some social problem who don't get exploited (a mean Ornn too like to be alone and he is not autistic from what we know, and Ornn followers were not too, so it's not really important becaude we don't see it).

1:45 "my fault for having a phone" XD
I wish everyone could have the same level of funny self reflection
Honestly, idgaf about the Aurora splashart being "sexualized." Every male release bar Millio who is literally a child, has been shirtless with 8% body fat and biceps the size of my head. I don't have a problem with that either as long as it goes both ways. So fuck it, WE'RE SO BACK
Omg 🙄 the champs name jokes was gold
"Almost unnecessary adjustment"
Said no salesman ever
The cleavage can't hurt you, it's pixels it ain't real
Now when my teammates call me autistic for being trash at the game I can just assume they mean because I'm playing aurora! Thanks Riot!
When it comes to Auroras old design All I seen was Porcelain Doll
After the changes she looks more natural which in my opinion is good
Tho would add more damn clothes SHE IS FROM FRELJORD AND IS NOT AN A ICEBORN
She has fur, which is why she doesn't need a lot of clothes.
@@asken2791 cope
Shes a vastayan and meant to be fluffy/have fur but I do agree is doesn't rly come across in her design a huge amount, or at lease as much as it should. You can see in in the promo and splash but in game no chance
@@asken2791Works as an excuse for her legs and feet. I don't get why her shoulders are uncovered though. What's the point of a big fur collar if you're gonna let it just hang off to the sides. Àlso her hair there looks really short so it'd probably do a poor job blocking the cold.
@@legorocketraccoon8297 her Hair being red also makes little sense cause she is a White Snow Bunny and since she resembles more someone like Wukong or Rengar her hair resemble her fur
I am of the opinion they should stop limiting the character designs because of people getting too offended. Let the people have what they want
Also people are gonna get flamed for playing her watch
Bunny's breedable.
Autistic bunnymage with thicc thighs?
Im already a one trick pony
i did not expect that scuttle crab cosplay
Well. When I saw her concepts and the result, like how she looks, "redhead bunny girl with glasses, who looks cute" I was ready to buy her at start, when I saw her skill kit, I said that will main her. And now she got "buffed". Yo, Riot. Thank you.
I miss the hooded version of Aurora, now she has an overloaded design
Lmao that Scuttle cosplay gave me a blast of laughter, excellent work.
Somebody in the office had a great day when that pride post got out 🤣
Hilarious
Arent the aurora changes more for proportion? If they only make her face bigger, but her body stays the same size, the proportion of head x body wouldnt be ideal. Either way, I dont really care, at the end of the day its not like u can really see anything besides a bit of her thighs, which i also think were made thicker cuz of the added fur on them.
No absolutely not lol, speaking as someone who's been an artist for a long time(Not quite a riot artist level, but close enough that I can understand the things they do) and a NSFW artist for a large portion of it, the changes they made were very specifically targeting her sexual appeal... Even the changes to the lighting specifically highlight key points of 'interest' better. Personally, not a huge fan of it since I think it runs counter to the narrative of her being autistic, since it puts a lot more focus on her external surface level appeal
And those proportions, she went from a highly attractive woman, to basically a porn parody of herself... I'm a fan of the art of sexual character design, but I wish they would show more restraint to characters that it just doesn't make much sense to be sexualizing. Keep it to the Samira's, Evelynn's, Sylas's, Ahri's where you have more to say with it, and let there be more ways of expressing a characters appeal than just "are they hot"
The thing they changed was her proportions not for them. If the head was to big the body could just be changed in size to match. Whereas in this the actual proportions of the body changed. The chest and thighs had a completely different shape as well as size
@@stephenkrahling1634 calling her a porn parody of herself is a bit much.
@@stephenkrahling1634 NSFW artist 😂😂😂, get out of here clown
@@KRESTFELL NSFW artist 🤣🤣🤣, what a clown
I like the changes, I like the fact that they don't care anymore to that dialogue, like women can be pretty without it meaning sexualized, and women can be not sexualized without being strong featured and in full covered Body suits, although I prefer the hoodie version we got in the comic that's fine I guess
Also, she has glasses wich is fucking cool, imagine if she has a line about liking trains that would be so cool!
@@gabrieladernebraga9339 If she says she likes trains I'll permaban her. That would be the most blatant stereotyping I've seen to this day. And whether you like the fact that they added weight to her tits or not (which, hey, I'm all for lol), the lighting, magical effect, and fabric texture changes were all clear downgrades in my eyes
Not sure why riot feel the need to stamp the autistic label on aurora, and what I mean by this is that there is another champion (extremely similar in design) that is very evidently autistic, and she wasn't plastered with the autistic label. I'm talking about Lillia. My autistic friend likes Lillia because: "she's literally me" so It's really evident that they've reached the inclusivity and representation quota already. Of course I shouldn't need to say this, but having more autistic champions shouldn't be taken off the table, and should remain a thing. The real problem I among others have is that riot will make a champion, and just slap the label on that they're autistic, without using the "show don't tell" principle of effective character design. Basically riot being lazy and/or admitting they can't be bothered ACTUALLY making the champion autistic. And that's where the issue lies.
In my opinion, there's a handful of other champions that seem autistic to me (Based on my experiences playing as them as an autistic person): Ryze, Poppy, Heimerdinger, Yorick, Ornn, also Singed and Jinx but there's a lot wrong with those two so it's hard to say
My 9 to 5 has been giving me cancer lately and there's a whole bunch of dantes drama again. Gotta wait for the Rival vid to tl;dr it for my adhd ass.
tl;dr was tarzaned felt like he was wronged by dantes felt that dantes was a douche thus he leaked their discord dms that contained dantes flirting with other e-whores and laura's abortion. dantes eventually streamed it along with laura. tarzaned didnt care and removed himself from the drama and just full cleared jungle with noc.
IMO people are slightly overreacting with "oversexualising" the game. It is male fantasy after all and there is nothing wrong with this
Yyooo we got autistic busty mages before GTA6!
They have no problem making male champs with sexy hip lines, shirtless 8 packs, perfect jaws... it's nice to see a female champ get the same treatment for the first time in awhile.
It's been a long time since there's been a traditionally hot female champ. Not saying the other champ designs aren't good, but it's been too long since we got something.... idk. Normal? It's just nice to see is all.
Would I have preferred a more animalistic champion after we were promised a bunny champion? Yes.
Do I think that her design is kinda gauche and a little unfitting? Yes.
Did they also put thick thighs in my face and give me a mage with a massive witch hat? Also yes. Its hypocritical, but I aint complaining
Massive agree. Honestly in my fucking fantasy games, i dont wanna be the slightly handicapped and realistical male, i dont wanna be the overweight but confident female that had to overcome adversity. I wanna be big booba hot girl or big badass unbreakable guy. Leave the real problems in the real world.
@@tommyman1047 that's perfectly fine, but you have to understand that some people want characters in video games and media to represent them. They want to see someone who looks like them being powerful and doing cool shit. They don't wanna feel like they can't do those things because of who they are. And that's valid too.
There's a place for both Conan the Barbarian, and Viktor from Arcane to be in the same setting with the same amount of power.
@@minimonkeymasher8888 Viktor was peak manliness in any show ever created. Never complained. Just went to work, literally sacrificing himself for the progress of humanity and making life better for people like him. IDC whether you're a scrawny boy or a ripped gymbro, that mentality is aspirational
@@minimonkeymasher8888 thats alright to some extent, but every game nowadays gets attacked for having unrealistic characters and beauty standards to the point that it pushes companies to comply, the whole idea of roleplaying used to be, being someone else, not being just like yourself and being supermen out of nowhere
nah that scuttle crab got me rollin'
riot really gave the people of "Riot give me bunny girl champ AND MY LIFE IS YOURS"..
THATS WHY HE'S THE GOAT
THE GOATTTTT
It was perfect
Riot probably saw all of the thirst for her already and decided to accentuate her features a little more. Not a big deal tbh, if you freak out over this you should get offline for a while imo. The lighting is a massive improvement though.
In the words of Angel Dust:
"STOP. WE ARE KEEPING THIS."
i was confused how people were downbad for a bunny, but now i see. wise men. wise.
Ahri literally shows her full jumbo thighs in most of her splash arts i don't see why Aurora's thigh is a problem
Ahri’s character is inherently sexual whereas Aurora’s isn’t.
I don’t really care either way but I can understand someone not being a fan of characters who aren’t meant to be sexual, being sexualised and vice versa.
If anything it takes away from the characters who are meant to have their sex appeal being a part of their character because it then becomes just normal design.
Ahri is sexualized to further her fantasy and design, whereas Aurora's sexualization works against her design. One is basically a succubus who lives in a jungle-ified wealthy-seeming society, the other is an autistic nerd who lives in Siberia. You probably see where people might take offense here.
I see where you're coming from though. Most people won't think about the impact this decision has on her design, they're just made that _another_ girl was objectified.
her thighs are the same size, they just made the socks bite into her thigh some more, which makes her look less like a doll and more real. increasing proportions doesn't inherently mean they are sexualizing the character.
@@KRESTFELL The base design was already sexualised; I think that is where the issue lies, and the adjustments made weirdly make her more sexualised despite being done for proportions.
I don't think you realise that the people who found her attractive before would probably find her more so now in regards to the splash art.
League players when they make a litteral snowbunny sexualized
whoever gave her the squish as riot is the most based person i’ve ever met
I went to facebook LoL group just for shit and giggles but oh boy, the thirst was fucking REAL
Oh no, they made the bunny egirl sexual.... who could have thought. She was never made as an autist. She was made as ahri 2.0, but with the tism
The scuttle cosplay tho
i really hope they actually give aurora autistic traits instead of just having the label tacked onto her like how dumbledore was retroactively made gay
That T1 and cosplay clips are hillarious lol
For Aurora i'm pretty sure it was actually them adding fur to her thighs and not just making them larger xD. BUT A WIN IS A WIN
Beat way to honor Faker is to go to a KFC and buy $500 in chicken
Paper tear camera and mic hold i 10/10
The worst offender with the new splash art is, they made Aurora more voloptuous, but her waist stayed the same. Like she is already traversing a frozen tundra in a mini skirt, but then this? Damn.
Ah yes, lets make her chubby. Surely this will not impact her skin sells... df
BASED
You guys shurley know the Toystory meme where Andy dropps Woody for Buzz. The Ahri skinn and Auroras release just fits way to perfeklty here.
Yep its damage control. They dont mention the Ahri stuff, then they distract us and hope we forget.
I like the old design lighting, makes her look more menacing, all in all cool design ig.
Imagine being so sad and miserable you unironically care about how “sexualized” pixels are
6:13 i was waiting for a nidalee spear missing the dude XDD
What’s wrong with bigger breasts and thighs? Are you saying that women shouldn’t have that? Like bro, it’s okay, it’s okay for women to be sexy and have breast, cleavage, thighs, etc….
agreed, I'm so tired of this crap.
No no that's misogynistic and make male devs harasse female devs!
@@dylanhelvetios2300 show me a study/bar graph that proves you're point (you can't) (:
@@Fathered-le1wu The study is the 10 last years of Blizzard.
I'll be real. I don't think that having bigger boobs that are fully covered automatically sexualises a character. Same with the thighs.
1:12 bro is everyone just immune to humour? This is clearly just joking around with how women talk with their "slayy" and "yass" slang. It has NOTHING to do with pride month.
One particular Doctor of the League scene said I have cancer, so I'd like to see a new champ that has it so I can resonate with it more
As a gay Gen z, the riot tweet is honestly lowkey funny in a sense of taking into account stan twitter, floptok and niche queer humour. But It just feels like corporate exploitation of modern queer gen z humour.
wtf are you saying
i agree. Had i seen it on a gay gamers page i wouldve died laughing. But when it comes from a company it feels almost like mocking us.
@@azizkash286 literally what aspect of what I said did you not understand? I'm talking about how it feels like Riot's attempt at being "relatable" to their newer younger playerbase by referencing our modern internet culture.
@@someguywithawooperpfp3163i’m on the same boat as azizkash286. wtf is floptok account stan and niche queer humor
As a millennial,
WTF?
Tyler1 sure got the special animation he wanted 😂😂
Haha, that lgbt post is actually hilarious and suprisingly based 😂
there’s nothing wrong with champs looking good, it’s not like any of the male champs were made ugly
Thick thighs saves LP
Sooo she was a toplaner, they tryed to make her more of a midlaner but she still is more of a toplaner than a midlaner, gg Rito
"Pride" should be mocked not celebrated so good going Riot, finally doing something right.
I see you really have "pride" in yourself for posting this shit
awww whos a cute little scuttle crab
I did not even notice the body changes, but the lighting, colors and overall look of the new splash art (we even lost details on her outfit) is very inferior to the previous one. I thought they messed up and put a preliminary artwork instead of the finished one.
I guess the best compromise would be to keep the previous splash but add only the body changes.
yeah I like the old art better, it feels more polished idk
They made the magical effects much less interesting, and removed most of the texture that was rendered in the original. It's a shame too, cause the coat looked fucking amazing before.
They... gave a champion... absolute territory?
Guys, help; I've been cold turkey for over a year and a half, but I don't know if a can keep resisting.
ppl when woman have boobs: NO WAY THATS A CRIME
As someone living in the cold north, it makes sense for aurora to have some fat reserves. Definitely for lore purposes.
I remember when Riot would not involve themselves and their games in the politics of the real world because they knew that that is a good way to upset people when you dont mean to as you cannot please everyone. They just let people fill things in for themselves like assuming Graves is gay when nothing suggested this. I guess the people that were smart enough to do this left Riot.
By "not involving themselves" that is also political, them expressing human interest is not a problem, them expressing corporate PR shit disguised as human interest IS a problem.
Quit your coping
@@stephenkrahling1634 No, that's not a valid explanation, because that would mean all dimensions of human interaction are political in nature, like how you call your parents.
They were focusing on the game's thematic before, now they are concerned over real-life politics because you gaslighted them into thinking identity politics isn't politics because you say so, while also saying everything is political. And now it's biting them in the ass because they can't even make a valley-girl joke without someone being offended.
All of this could be solved if they ignored you and your perpetual gaslighting.
@@user-pr1dh2bw6k Gay and autistic people existing is not political unless you agree with the person you're responding too.
Gay and autistic people exising isn't political as much as straight and nuerotypical people existing isn't political. This is a brain dead take, but you are a League player so it checks out
@@user-pr1dh2bw6k "... They were focusing on the game's thematic before, now they are concerned over real-life politics..."
couldnt have put it better myself. A clear statement of what the real problem is
I mean every recent male character besides hwei and milio (a literal child) has been a super ripped shirtless/semi dude. So honestly who cares as long as they keep sexualizing both genders that way we are all happy
I guess this video was made before the most recent drama
Watch the end of the vid
@@asakhhh yeah i watched until the middle and relised he won't talk about then i commented, and when i reached the end of the video i know why
video games are meant to be escapism and fun to play and to look at
personally, after riot dropped like 4-5 shirtless jacked men in a row, they have no excuse to not make a sexy female characters
besides, it will sell better, we all know it
attractive does not have to mean the character cant look badass, strong or any other thing
make. hot. champs.
League players are so miserable most of the time, that tweet has just a silly joke
It isn't the league players; it's the fragile LGBTQ people who took offense because they're offended by everything.
She also got a really subtle coat of fur on her skin, since she's a vastaya.
Making a furry champ autistic feels like they couldn't think of how to do it in a respectful way so just shipped a stereotype instead.
The music in this video is great! Full and uncut. Such a pleasant experience as I go about my morning.
Kudos to the editor. 😉
(Literally earned my sub. I randomly clicked on your vid both times and this time heard the music, heard it not cut off and thought “no way this is the same guy”. Changed it based on one complaint. Absolute legend.)
It's a world where magic is everywhere, the lore is amazing, and the character, and the champion have deep back story and nice idea behind the art.
And somewhere, there is the new champion, an experience vampire who get out, an emo artist who see his school be destroied by a friend, a baby dragon who get kidnap and learn human speach, and an autistic lady bunny friend with the demi god Ornn.
That all, no description, no others story, i mean there is other champion who don't have a lot of story, but they are old or not big enough in the lore for making story, it's more easy to give a depression to a human who get posses by a god and get traumatise and start a depression, then explain why a vastaya who is more a magic creature then human be autistic, or how a vastaya who came from Ionia go to a snow desert in the middle of nowhere.
I mean if you think of it, that don't make sense, who in is right mind prefer to go there then in an other land, even if she is not affected by the temperature, the food is rare and the danger is everywhere.
It's just stupid and i think a bit lazy from Riot to give that type of information who are useless then telling how she get there, why she was there in the first place, why she can control magic that easily, how was her relation has a child (and because she is autistic that can be really great to explore).
The champ has a lot of story to tell, but that go nowhere and they try to hide the lack of story behind a mini game (a fantastic one, where her design was better ngl) and some social problem who don't get exploited (a mean Ornn too like to be alone and he is not autistic from what we know, and Ornn followers were not too, so it's not really important becaude we don't see it).
5:49 Skarner moment
Mog'Maw reminded me of the "Kisser" mob from the Dragonquest series. xD
Scuttle crab cosplay is insane. Also I wish I was as good on Riven as you, wow
Aurora is clearly based upon Viera, and Viera are thicc bnnuy mommies.
1:47 people need to honestly stop being a perpetual victim, the tweet was funny people need to lighten up.
i will never complain about league characters getting hotter. just gonna embrace it.
Its crazy that even tho skins are supposed to be purely cosmetical, due to riots spageti code, they aren't.
riot will learn one day that gayness and obnoxious flamboyancy are vastly different things
Tyler1 bobbing his head around like Markiplier did when he say the bite 87 fucking gets me everytime i see it.
I should have expected it because it's Tyler1, but please give a volume warning or turn down Tyler1 screaming in my ears.
i didnt need the before and after, the moment I saw the 2nd picture I WOOFED.
It's a bunny girl, just like with Ahri they're gonna go full in on sex appeal, she is gonna sell like hotcakes.
The Aurora splash change is a massive W.
