      I saw some of the earlier concept art and her clothes were a lot more modest, which I liked. She was literally vialed, like covering the majority of her face, in one of them. Which I think is really cool considering she's "The Veiled One." I still like what they settled on though, I think the other ideas fundamentally wound up looking too Eastern for the Targon/Demacia aesthetics.

    One miner point. Corsets are not what people think they are, and it would make sense for someone who does physical labor to wear one.
    Corsets offer a lot of spinal support and support the breasts much like bras do. They also protect your hips if they are carrying a heavyweight.
    The issue was never corsets themselves it was the practice of tight lacing. But if worn properly corsets are not only comfortable, but incredibly supportive.

    My biggest issue with the Trundle redesign is his size. All of Trundle's stories make pretty explicit mention of his size, or rather lack of for a Troll and a lot of his stories are about overcoming his smaller stature with intellect in order to take over X or Y tribe in a test of strength. Trundle's quite a little guy by Troll standards but he's huge in LoR and a lot of his followers are really small which makes the 1 defining aspect of Trundle that seperates him from every other fantasy Troll completely lost in the transition. Frost Trolls aren't unique, a troll king with a magic weapon isn't unique, a troll working for someone related to eldritch abomination isn't unique but what seperates Trundle from these other fantasy Troll kings is his size.

    I think a cool concept with Mordekaiser is that he can canonically have a different armour set and appearance for what he looks like in the death realm and what he looks like in Runeterra as they are different personifications of his armour based on when are where they were made. His armour in the death realm is likely his older armour that he envisaged compared to his new armour in Runeterra.

    I don't fully believe that the thing around Riven's waist is a corset, but is more of a fitness belt type of thing that weightlifters use. This is because if Riven's lore it's explained that the runic weapon she has is an extremely heavy weapon. Even though she can wield the heavy blade, it would still take a toll on her body in how you'd swing a blade, whether it be overhead, side to side, etc. She wears that fitness belt (for lack of a better term) to reduce the stress on her lower back for carrying things in an upright position and prevents back hyperextension for overhead lifts (such as swinging her heavy sword). And later on, when she's in exile, she continues to wear it because she helps with heavy labor on farms for Ionian people, where she'd definitely would want to wear such a piece of equipment.
    Granted this is just me looking at it from a logical standpoint, some of the designs do look a bit off for it to be a fitness belt like I believe. For example, her base model in LoL does look extremely similar to that of a corset, buttons and all. However, in her LoR splash it looks more like a brace for her lower body. Additionally, in the Awaken cinematic it looks like a wrap placed around her lower body to keep her attached to the stand she was chained to. It doesn't help my case that most if not all of Rivem's skins in LoL have either completely gotten rid of the fitness belt, or replaced it with a small belt that would not even be considered as such.
    That's just my viewpoint on it and felt like sharing it. Keep up the awesome videos!

I'd argue his arrogance is more a facade than anything, both Kayle and Yi call him a scared child in the inside, to say that he can hold on Rhaast only because he is cocky is a disservice to his character, especially when his color story highlights it was his will to live that set him apart from others.

Everything else from his armour was worsened, his new voicelines do not give the impression the ones in LOL do. Look at the other design options, that they looked at. While there were some worse designs, I have no clue how they got this when there were so many other better versions, that retained the things that made Many of the LOR redesign haters love Mordekaiser.

Ever since her redesign removed her Armor in order to get the more generic suite ever she has lacked identity. It makes sense for them to be somewhat similar deity figures but that is all Kayle's LoL rework is that is a problem of Kayle design itself because we've seen her, Morgana and their mother look very similar yet still have their own identity.

    I actually think the new lor trundle goes against his story. Hes kinda the runt of his tribe and was more reliant on his cunning than the brute strength of the average troll. Therefore the more scrawny look in league fits him better than his buff himbo lor look

    i think that Kayn design may be less of a direct redesign and more of a story progression. While losing the eye does hinder this theory, the level of corruption and how it can be seen on even his more human arm and how he is clearly far more beastial in his mannerisms and those glowing eyes are 100% inhuman and Darkin inspired surely can make this easy to believe as a lore progression design

    I have the same opinion about LoR Kayn. I like the robe because it adds Ionia feeling to him more. (Having only baggy pants doesn't sell much.) But man I hope they keep the corrupted left eye. Or better, make the eye corruption messy and unclean like his arm/chest portion. That will push it to S tier easily.

    An opinion from someone who loves Janna and has been a main for 9 years: They didn't keep anything from the original Janna, it's like they were two different characters, even her VA isn't the same, that's what I really hated.
    I loved that they put shurima elements on her, but I hated that she is using so many gold pieces, this makes her design less light and ethereal, and this is necessary for a wind concept, the crystal staff helped with this, it gave a feeling of lightness, in addition to being the most characteristic blue element in her design... and well, in the redesign she has very few blue elements, which was necessary because in lore she is called "The Blue Bird" (and Riot didn't add it in her bird form either)

    For riven’s leather corset type thing. It’s more just like a cinch or even leather armor than anything like an actual corset. As someone who does costuming these waist binds are actually fairly comfortable and are good for keeping your back straight as long as you don’t wear them purposely super tight.

    Great video and I agree with a lot of your tier list.
    As someone with more animator/gameplay design background though I have concerns with some of the redesign "concept art" and how much it would have to be changed for the character to both be animated and visually clear in an Esport game. I noticed you briefly brought up these thoughts with asol but in a future list like this I'd like to hear more about your thoughts on which designs would translate easily and which ones would need big concessions/adaptations. For example I had alarm bells going off with how I'd implement that Zilean concept although I may be overcomplicating it.

    @SleepyFen Před 5 měsíci +4

    I am not a fan of Janna's redesign unless it comes with a hefty caveat that Janna is capable of shape-shifting by function of her (it?) not being human. I'll buy that she maybe changes shape based on the people and beliefs around her to be less foreign and frightening to the people she's trying to help. This could explain how she looked a certain way in Piltover and Zaun while now looking differently in a different place. But I don't think there's much sense in rewriting her to be Shuriman and changing her design to be Shuriman, period, if she's not even a human. You could keep both designs canon and validate everyone's impression and experience of her character that way.

    I feel like Mordi still looks scary just in a different way, instead of an immovable object he looks more like an unstoppable force, leaning more into the immortal emporer you can't hope to best because he's a spirit and will just kill you and drain your soul, as opposed to a big brick wall you can't beat because you can't even scratch, both look awesome and both are TERRIFYING it's just one take a bit more context to be imposing

    I personally would boost Leblanc another tier just for how good her LoR voicelines are. Only downside is although I think how she plays as a card is cool and fine, I do agree it doesn't capture the deceit, guile and trickery angle as well as her League kit.
    Jax is one of the least humble characters I have seen in any media, I assume you meant to say something like 'frank' or 'earnest', that he doesn't put on airs of behave with any pretentiousness.
    I remember Quinn is in LoR because she has loads of really funny interactions, especially with Swain.

    Great tierlist! exept morde, his league desing is beliavable, an actual suit of armor you could see existing in a fantasy world, New morde has proportions SO EXAGARATED, its goofy - his horns? HUGE, legs? - HUGE KNEE CAPS, etc etc, and its so open, morde is supossed to be a imprisoned soul in a suit of armor, but its so open in this new desing, looks like he is gonna move and his soul is gonna leak out, and altough i like his color changing to dissociate with the shadow isles, i think this is just not the blue that works for him, its close, but its still not quite it. the league version, is almost perfect, and i prefer it 10000x times more then this new lor one. (also the mace looks like CRAAAAAAP)
