I honestly bought Karma when she first came out because of the Sakura Karma skin...the way it looks now is horrendous though and I do not want to play that. Please re-vamp the Sakura skin to give it that classy-Japanese look again please. I understand that you don't want to do a dress, but I think that was the best part about the skin.

I personally think that the cape and tabard part looks...weird.

I understand the technical difficulties, but I honestly think that simply removing the dangling part would make this look a lot better. it makes it look a lot like a Chinese dress, which is very counter intuitive a thematic kimono. I'd honestly rather see either 1 of two things

Removal of the cap/tabard and make it more of a modern mini-skirt kimono. (for this skin only)

Or just recolor it completely and rename it so it looks more like a traditional Chinese dress, as it fits better with the current model anyway.

I honestly never liked the Sakura skin. It always seemed off to me thematically for a couple of reasons.

#1) Karma is too dark skinned to correctly pull off the Geisha look.

#2) Karma herself has more of an Indian theme, so putting a japanese themed skin on her feels wrong to me. I'd like to see more traditional Indian theme'd clothing. A Japanese theme is more fitting for Yi, Irelia, etc.

#3) Karma herself moves far too much to look graceful in a kimono. so when seeing her in-game she looks very awkward to me.

#4) The new model isn't really built to handle a Kimono. the old model was a little better. The new model doesn't look like a kimono at all. (But this is mainly the fault of the cape/tabard thing)

Thanks, Ironstylus and Ohmikegoodness. I don't own Karma or the skin but I'm totally understanding of the players that bought the skin for the classy looking kimono and traditional hair style.

I dunno. This is equivalent to Gentleman Cho'gath having his top hat replaced with a derby. Honestly, it just isn't the same.

If you're going to take away the dress at least make her not fat

So as GrumpyMonkey, IronStylus and ohmikegoodness have explained, we had a few technical issues with Sakura Karma. Karma’s new animation set was rather pronounced, which meant a full dress was impractical. You’ve let us know how you felt about this, and there has been a bit of silence on our end. We didn’t want to say we could fix it if we couldn’t.

But we heard you, loud and clear. We agreed, she should be closer to her original Sakura concept. So XRayAlpha and JesterCapp busted their asses and made time to make this a reality. They, and us as a team, felt like there were more things we could do to make this work.

I feel like they totally nailed it out of the park.

Oh my lord.

It looks SOOOOOOO much better.

that looks great! i was going to ask for a refund but now i'm going to use that skin every game hahaha

much much better

legs wraps still look weird.
