The CAPS are reassuring. Thank you immensely~

Morello, what about Skarner? He has been around for quite some time now, does not need any VU and yet still has just his two release skins (which, although nice, aren't up to snuff with newer skins with updated particles). Will the Crystal Vanguard see any love anytime soon?

This is the closest I have ever been to climaxing without any physical contact.

I appreciate you saying this at least.

Honestly she could use a slight change...I hate her makeup (and, no offence, Diana's is pretty bad too. Maybe you should do some research because you went a little too 90's goth on that one) the whole "the crow" tears are awful.. maybe look at what Indian/southeastasian models do. Her red streak in her hair is also kind of :|

Is there any chance you could show us some concepts, sketches, or even reference photos of the sort of thing you're going for? It doesn't have to be anything set in stone, just a "we want to get this kind of feel."


@Morello
Honestly I wish y'all would just give her damage on w's target and fix her numbers a bit... with better cooldowns and late-game damage she'd be fine. At least, we could have that **** out on live this month and see the reaction and maybe the rework wouldn't be such a high priority... I mean, if she were strong we'd see all the players who love her but feel they can't play her come out of the woodwork, as well as people who never tried her. We can't have a good idea of whether or not the players like her visually if she's **** in game... because that's most people's priority...

I just feel like she could be buffed really really soon without too much effort and then when the rework is done it gets released... but why leave her unplayable for two years? I just don't get that. Buffing Karma's late-game damage won't make her OP. Giving her damage to W won't make her OP. Reducing her mantra cooldowns won't either.. it'd just make it so I can play her without my friends *****ing at me for throwing my lane in champ select.

Yup, I'm into equal rights. I'm a feminist. I want balance and variety. I want sexualizatinon in the right context, and i want clever execution when the ground is fertile for something unconventional. Come at me, bro.

For the record, if in 6-9 months the women that come out all look like zyra/diana/syndra, I'm bringing this post up.

I don't know why I thought of Journey just now, but I thought it was pretty funny
