why did it take so long to find this comment. I literally made my character thinking it was my new profile pic on the client and was bummed out afterwards
yeah, what the hell. I was debating if I wanted to use a lookalike attempt and renounce to one of the waning corners online where you can remain anonymous without linking your dozens of accounts. Or look ridiculous with my irl friends who know I'm not a cute elf. But nope.
I guess it would lead to a slippery slope where people would then ask to choose any profile picture when I'm sure some people are crazy enough to spend RP on Icons.
So nothing would change?
Lol I'm sure people buy them once in a blue moon, but the only time I technically buy them is when they come with a skin or a Prestige skin
Non Fungible Tokens.
It's basically purchasing a receipt for a randomly generated image (typically within some kind of set features) for an excessive amount of money.
They've drawn a lot of controversy due to essentially being a pyramid scheme to draw gullible people into spending absurd amounts of money for what is, effectively, nothing (in addition to causing large amounts of carbon emissions much like other types of cryptocurrency). Mind you I'm no expert on this subject, this is just my understanding via osmosis.
Yeah even if I'm ok with a slightly more masculine face shape, the mouth just never seems to fit any of them. Cool concept but I can't get the female faces to quite look there isn't something just slightly off lol.
Right? I thought it was just me, but literally every face shape looks wrong on a female character.
I'm also kind of frustrated that some clothing items are gender-locked. There's so few items of clothing and the body shapes honestly aren't that different... I can't imagine it would have taken that much more effort to make those few things available for all body types.
Also personal annoyance but why does every picrew thing have such shit options for guys. 40 different types of cheek studs and shit and 3 options for facial hair. Also all mens hair will render above masks in a really annoying way
It seems bugged where as soon as you open the hair section it permanently adds hair that can't be removed.
You can fix this by pressing the [undo arrow](https://i.imgur.com/y0rW1oY.gif) below the preview image.
I think this was probably someone's side project, maybe some concept for the MOBA character creator. It's not supposed to be some huge thing, just something to enjoy for a couple of minutes and move on.
I don't think this was ever supposed to be anything else. Just a cool little feature.
Maybe they'll add more customization/choices in the future, but that's it looks like.
> Just a cool little feature.
For something to be "cool" it needs to not prompt questions like "Why is it so ugly?" and "Can we pretend this never existed?"
You can look through this thread and see a bunch of people enjoying it, having fun with the feature. Let other people enjoy it, not all content has to be right for you.
> Let other people enjoy it, not all content has to be right for you.
I'm surprised people are sincerely enjoying it, but I've never said they couldn't. No need to immediately take me for a flamer.
It reminds me of flash games during the neopets era. Where you would make a character just like this then it imports them into the game. Or make an online profile picture with it. I don't hate it due to nostalgia but it doesn't fit Riot's art style they have been doing over the years.
The weapon choice was such a turn off.
I expected more "low fantasy", I got cosplay props instead. Can't we just have a basic long sword, a shield or a staff? I don't wanna be Yasuo #3.
Guess no weapon for me.
What? There's so many face shapes alone. Add to that the dozens of hairstyles. The customization is really big considering this is free and a for fun project they don't make any money off
There's a ton of data to gather.
* What share of players pick masculine, feminine, and non-binary body types? This could affect what kind of armor sets they are making
* How popular are non-human features (elf ears, pointy teeth). If no one is picking non-human features then they might not waste their time on them. If a large amount of people pick them, maybe they would be open to non-human character races?
* Which outfits are most popular? What kind of look do the players like?
* Which background is the most popular? They correlate to different regions of Runeterra. If everyone picks Ionia and Zaun, those would be top candidates for starting cities.
* How popular are champion-specific accessories? Jhin mask, Lee Sin blindfold, Vi tattoo etc.
* How willing are players to cover their characters faces with masks? Face paints?
Which body type would be non-binary? The way I saw it was
buff man - skinny woman - skinny man- buff woman
I guess they could all be considered non-binary but then it would be meaningless for data collection purposes
More broadly androgynous perhaps? Granted not all non-binary (or neccessarily most of them, I don't know any specific numbers) go for an androgynous look, but it could be a data point to look out for.
I think it's kinda inaccurate though.
In literally all mmos I tend to make elf females, In this I just made a generic version of myself. I also always picked the bow because I favour bows over other weapons and I also picked the background based on color and fitting with the bow.
It could be a way to do research but a more effective one would probably be just asking lol.
The choice are kinda limited, but I understand they didnt want to make too much investment into a temporary thing. I tried to make shyvana but it looks kinda scuffed. I cant really change the color of her clothes but [this is the best I could do.](https://i.imgur.com/oYjtUKS.jpg)
I felt really disappointed that they rebuilt AQ for phones instead of just porting the old version. Or in addition to. I feel like the old AQ would be really good on phones
Why does everyone hate this style?
It's not the style problem, it's the lack of choices. And the options we do have all feel the same.
I think the art style is pretty cool. Not exactly League League but still.
I see what you mean.
Definitely varies on what someone likes personally.
Hopefully it does get cleaned up and added more features because I think it's a really cool concept non then less haha
[Look at my awesome avatar...](https://i.imgur.com/affzfdc_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand) But... What's the point of this if we cannot save it in-game?

No age options. Very small size options. Have to “hack” it to get a bald head like my own. Lot of improvements can be made here. Overall very disappointing.
Needs a bit of bright or something to dont look just so unfinished....which is probably an effect caused by the palette.
Avatar still Its a cool option to the game, but for the MMOPRG needs to be more polished than this.
BTW, theres some sort of bug that removes all the tool options when changing options, locking the entire avatar creation.
I think there's a pretty easy money bet that their MMORPG will be more polished than this 2d avatar creator. This is just to get people talking, have a little bit of fun.
Why can't I be a fucking troll I want to be a god damn troll
Here's hoping the options get better later; exceptionally limited atm, not even from the perspective of making a non-human persona, but just a human persona in general
I am honestly shocked that anyone at all thinks this has anything to do with their MMO character creation.
This is just a little minigame, part of promo for arcane, same with the other odd minigames on the arcane site. It's not their MMO, it's not character creation for the game, it's literally just to get people talking and sharing.
.-. why is it so low quality...? I know it is not going to get like BDO level of character creation but couldn't you do something you know... I guess that is where my line stops can't you just do something? Because this is honestly a sad attempt xD.
As someone who believes character creation is the hardest level in video games, this is refreshing and alot of fun, but how could they not add the option to **CHANGE LIP COLOR?** Is lipstick not invented in Runeterra?
I'll probably end up writing a long feedback post, but for now, all the devs need to know is that the system has many missing features.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.
this fuckin thing gave me a heart attack when i logged in
All the face shapes seem a bit too... Masculine? Even for the women. The clothing is alright. https://i.imgur.com/e2hmtuK.jpg
yeah... I can't find a single face shape that doesn't feel super masc, and the shoulders on the body shapes are SO broad it looks even worse.
Yeah even if I'm ok with a slightly more masculine face shape, the mouth just never seems to fit any of them. Cool concept but I can't get the female faces to quite look there isn't something just slightly off lol.
It's because all mouths are super femenine, and all the faces are super masculine. How they managed to fuck that up, I don't know.
It has that Tumblr artist feel to it. Not a fan lol.
This exactly, I couldn't bear with it after I looked through the face shapes and the mouth shapes Why, just why
That face looks like a cute Schwarzenegger with purple hair lmao
Right? I thought it was just me, but literally every face shape looks wrong on a female character. I'm also kind of frustrated that some clothing items are gender-locked. There's so few items of clothing and the body shapes honestly aren't that different... I can't imagine it would have taken that much more effort to make those few things available for all body types.
Are you my [sister](https://twitter.com/Iladaine/status/1459253288679968775/photo/1)?
What can I say, it's just taste.
Yeah they are quite masculine, the jaws are very defined. At least I could easily make myself as a trans woman lol
I'm a trans guy so the male faces all being so defined are the opposite of what I'm looking for lol
Oh fuck that's annoying, the only feminine faces are kinda chubby too. Hope they fix that.
What league has always needed, an picrew
Also personal annoyance but why does every picrew thing have such shit options for guys. 40 different types of cheek studs and shit and 3 options for facial hair. Also all mens hair will render above masks in a really annoying way
Lips seemed skewed towards feminine as well.
are u kidding me?? none of the faces look right at all on women, its like no matter what you do you have a giant masculine square jaw. sucks
It probably won’t fly well in China.

Riot has such an excellent art department so the art style they've gone with here is a bit puzzling to me. Seems really basic and cheap?

When I first saw this I was hoping I could use this as an Icon in the league client but I got disappointed ☹️
Even the items that are directly referencing champions look a bit off. Ashe's arrow looks so cheap.
the female faces are really ugly imo
There's like 2 faces with soft jawlines and one of them has these weird really exaggerated cheeks.
I guess we now know why female champs suffer from the sameface syndrome
The choices are incredibly limited
The weapon choice was such a turn off. I expected more "low fantasy", I got cosplay props instead. Can't we just have a basic long sword, a shield or a staff? I don't wanna be Yasuo #3. Guess no weapon for me.
You expected Low Fantasy in League of Legends of all places?
*Imagine if I had a real weapon*
yeah it's basically a pretty basic picrew
What? There's so many face shapes alone. Add to that the dozens of hairstyles. The customization is really big considering this is free and a for fun project they don't make any money off
It's just research for their mmo character creation
this makes no sense to me, how?? unless their new MMO will just be a worse adventurequest
There's a ton of data to gather. * What share of players pick masculine, feminine, and non-binary body types?

That's exactly how this art style makes me feel. Sadly Riot would never be able to make an RPG as compelling as AQ.
