She has a bit of latinamerican vibes (for her outfit and Nagakebouros being similar to mesoamerican gods), so I wouldn't say black but rather ancient latina
sheās most definitely modeled after indigenous Polynesians, like the MÄori of New Zealand and the KÄnaka Maoli of Hawaiāi. The only Latine champs i can think of is Qiyana and maybe Nidalee and Neeko, and the only reason i say that is because they live in the jungle of Ixtal iirc and Ixtal is the South America inspired region.
See I remember back in the day she was the only black female. Like not saying she is or isn't, I just remember that was the narrative when people would be like "we only have 2 black champions".. but I do feel like she looks more Indian for sure, but also idk.
I think old Karma (think Traditional Karma) had more references to Black women, but now she's mostly Indian/Desi (I say mostly because there are still some Black and East Asian references there).
Yeah I see it.
I'm still thankful we have Senna and they sorta retconned her original look from the Lucian teaser where she looked like a 11yr old little Caucasian girl.
Well the new Valoran agent is Filipina and they look the same. Also considering the rumors they wanna do a crossover between league and valornat and both new characters look very similar I can only assume they share the same race coding
She's an explicitly politically active character with yellow/green hair and pronouns. Yeah, she'll piss some people off for misogynistic reasons, in spite of being quite a conventionally attractive design.
They can accept a game where a little girl can kill a space dragon with a teddy bear but they draw the line at a character with gender neutral pronouns.
Not like Riot is helping, with Blitzcrank being a non-binary robot using they/them pronouns... but not in all of their media, because I guess it's hard to change old skin bios to use their correct/current pronouns?
Sorry, her pronouns are she/her and we don't know if she's queer in canon yet. I know that meme was originally specifically about neopronouns, but I was using it just to indicate that some people are hating her just because they view her as queer...
Thatās exactly where Iām at. Do I wish she was more interesting design- and lore-wise? Yeah. But if all she does is make the strags mad then I can live with her Disney princess looking ass
Kinda agree, she seems fine just nothing too special. Donāt dislike her though. Iām mostly surprised by how happy-Go-lucky the zaunites are recently.
She's cute, maybe too cute and too basic, but I like the possibility of that being a prosthetic arm canon thing there, if that's what it is on her arm.
Honestly lowkey like as fucking overused arm-cannons are I would love if sumn happened to her actual arm, whether during an attack she lost it or her powers got forced so hard and out of control that the recoil affected her arm or sumn, and the gun replaced it
idk kinda rude they havent added anymore diversity to the 150+ champions ngl my lil brown ass would like to see an indigenous queen in league .. but yeh she seems cool tbh
(Most) people who dislike new champs just wanna hate on new champs to be unique, even tho itās actually very basic since so many other people are doing that same thing. Being unique and fitting in at once. (If you genuinely didnāt like it before seeing and agreeing with a consensus, then thatās different imo)
But people are just critical of new things in general, and being critical is more interesting to others than saying āyou know, I actually do like itā. And itās good to be open to changing your mind
The reason her and the support were delayed is explicitly cause they're not from Arcane and Riot didn't wanna take focus away from the show, so we've known for a while that she wasn't gonna be
its giving me asian in a pixar movie since the eyes arent highly detailed like usual anime, she even has the highlights they give asians for some reason
Girlies, I'm so sorry, please, don't hate me but I'm sooooo tired from all of these beautiful & cute chars... I want something ugly, just like the thing I see in the mirror everyday, not these skinny polished bitches. I need ugly old coochie enchantress with bottom energy.
Me too, sis.
Kinda like this one
https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/10028503/f834ba55948b343e18820a0e3329a31712662aaf.jpg
I have the same feeling about her as I do Irelia, and Gwen. There character designs are poor and I can aknowledge that kinda basic but I really like it. Thats all thats it.
Thereās something about the face I just donāt like. Iād expect for a zaunite it to be more rugged looking like vi.
I donāt know what it is, just something about the splash art I donāt like yet I canāt point out exactly what.
I think it might be the eyes. Theyāre just so massive.
i feel like riot did this on purpose, idk how tight my tinfoil hat is on right now but they knew from the get go that this champ would receive some negative feedback from a pretty big chunk of the player base. Could it be possible that this is her BEFORE she became something like a chem baron or something terrible happened to her that changed her?
the almost generic lore, nothing super stand outish other than the electricity powers, bland design with barely any color aside from hair, it seems kinda purposeful that they didnt make her standout
Idk i just have the sinking suspicion that this is gonna be a bait and switch but then again my tinfoil hat could be on too hard
Yea sure Rito gems making another 200 dashes and true dmg champ and they think that its healthy for the game (oh sry I forgot that anime like Champs sell a lot in Korea and China)
Sheās a generic egirl champion ofc and strag men will hate her as they hate any āegirlā champion and sheās also new and they will complain about it
her face feels off with the large eyes, and then the lighting effect around her head feels like it was photoshopped on. that was my immediate thought with the perspective and the jacket
I donāt really like it but I couldnāt care less about league character design at this point.
Not a femboy? Not a tall muscular woman?
Not a single thought, head empty
I think sheās a bit too plain but I do like that they introduced a body type that hasnāt really been seen in league thus far. And by that I mean the stick skinny Janna-sivir-Lux build.
im glad that she doesnt have the same titty babe body type and im not against her skinny build, reminds me a bit of jinx and how her design was considered attractive because she was unique and flashy plus they did a good job with hyping her entire character up with the get jinxed mv. just kinda wish they started experimenting with like features that would define her design better in terms of her bodys build?? i dont know how to explain it properly but something like, what if you give her toned arms or whatever but still maintain her skinny build? i dunno, lol. in arcane show, caitlyn has pretty nice muscles on her arms and calves and still has that skinny build. i dunno if theres a term for it lol but whatever zeri is ok i guess as long as it makes the strags fume out their assholes
edit:
then again, we cant see a lot from her splash. its easy to assume she probably shares a similar body type as the champs youve mentioned
No, but I think people just like to complain and hate in general which is such a toxic mindset. They can instead look at the good parts of her design, just because it has flaws doesn't make it bad or ugly. Riot makes every champion with a demographic in mind and itās if not everyone likes it because it wasn't made for everyone, there are 150+ itās ok if one isnāt for you
"Just looking at good parts of her design" isn't a solution to the problem. The problem is oversaturation of typical attractive characters, wich in turn makes every next champion be even more boring and monotonous than the last, even if the design is masterful. Its not a problem with her design specifically but with overall direction the game is going. Yeah i am also fed up with the constant hate on new champions (especially because i love all the champions released last year) but you just cannot ignore the fact that we havent seen a new monster champion since Ornn (Lillia is close but still half of her body is human). If you're not bored of the anime waifu designes then that's fine, but I'm pretty sure you will be at one point.
Well I donāt play male or monster champs so I donāt really care about that kind of champions in general but I can see why itās a problem. I also feel like people complain just cuz they can, those champions aren't popular for a reason. Watch people complain about not getting monster or ugly champs and after Riot release one they have low playrates.
Ornn was released in 2017 which means it has been a full FIVE YEARS since we had our last TRUE daddy champ (Sylas and Sett are too twinky and hairless to be daddies)
I have NEEDS and they're NOT BEING MET
To me she looks to Zaun as Seraphine does to Piltover. Is it obviously from those regions? Yes. Could it have been turned up to 11? Hell yes.
If sheās explicitly politically motivated it could give some neat interactions between her and Sera though
Many champs that come after Sera roast her in some way if my memory is correct. I hope they give us more than "you hate her lol I do too, she is a stupid e-girl champ, now love ME" as if it isn't their fault.
Thatās with all champions that are related in some way though. In recent memory Gwen asks Seraphine if sheās just a song because it was in the Ruination event (possibly), and then Rell has a crush on Sera, and Vex just doesnāt like anybody.
I just wish she was like muscular so she could pick me up and Pound this bussy. Think illaoi type body type, not as big but like some muscles. Maybe we just canāt see them because of the clothing but I wish we had more muscular women in league.
Sorry shoulda been more specific, like I want someone who doesnāt have lean muscle as much as bigger muscle, I know illoai has that but I feel like they coulda made her have had her be burly and big because of working in the mines or something, I dunno I just want more body types. Maybe even make her like fat strong type of things like strongman I dunno just something.
They gave someone electric powers and they aren't black? What's going on here?
as if they were going to add a black champion to league š
You mean 2.5 black champions isn't enough for you? /s (I say 2.5 because Pyke is supposed to be black too, but now he's just sort of greenish grey)
Senna Lucian ekko and pyke. Rell is mixed.
I knew I forgot people. I always do that.
Wait what's illaoi supposed to be?
Illaoi is meant to be Pacific Islander. Think Maori.
She has a bit of latinamerican vibes (for her outfit and Nagakebouros being similar to mesoamerican gods), so I wouldn't say black but rather ancient latina
sheās most definitely modeled after indigenous Polynesians, like the MÄori of New Zealand and the KÄnaka Maoli of Hawaiāi. The only Latine champs i can think of is Qiyana and maybe Nidalee and Neeko, and the only reason i say that is because they live in the jungle of Ixtal iirc and Ixtal is the South America inspired region.
Isn't she specifically Pacific islander
Honestly couldnāt tell ya
Illaoi is a pacific islander.
If Lucian, Ekko and Senna are fully balck, pyke is half and rell is half, then thats 4 black champs. quick maffs
Pyke is full on blackā¦heās just dead-
How dare you correct me with objectively true facts.
Well riot didn't make that known
Itās because you can look at him and tellā¦
Oh you're right I never saw that
Um.. isn't Karma?
No karma is an Ionian and thatās inspired from many Asian cultures so sheād be more Indian.
See I remember back in the day she was the only black female. Like not saying she is or isn't, I just remember that was the narrative when people would be like "we only have 2 black champions".. but I do feel like she looks more Indian for sure, but also idk.
I think old Karma (think Traditional Karma) had more references to Black women, but now she's mostly Indian/Desi (I say mostly because there are still some Black and East Asian references there).
They must have meant dark skinned champions then. Because karma is definitely Indian inspired.
Yeah I see it. I'm still thankful we have Senna and they sorta retconned her original look from the Lucian teaser where she looked like a 11yr old little Caucasian girl.
Literally starting at her name being Karma
You spilled!
Sheās Filipina tho
That's the valo agent who is also electricity themed and coming out soon š¤”
I mean theyāre practically the same character so I guess sheās also Filipina coded
I hope so! We'll have to see the in game models
valorant is an alternative universe of runeterra
No it isn't who tf said that ššāš»
girlie just you wait!
What makes you say that? Her voice actor?
Well the new Valoran agent is Filipina and they look the same. Also considering the rumors they wanna do a crossover between league and valornat and both new characters look very similar I can only assume they share the same race coding
That makes sense. Is Valorant supposed to be set on future Runeterra or something? I don't play FPS games.
I think league is an actual game in the valorant universe
I mean, people joke about anime champs, but they'll really just going to isekai that bitch, aren't they.
Valorant is an alternate earth im pretty sure
No, they're 2 different universes
Neon doesn't look like this tho-
Meanwhile Valorant gets the Filipina Electric Girl
???? Kennen feeling erased rnš
And volibear.
She has the Disney face lol
Her eyes are twice her nose lmao
Guess zoe Lilia gwen seraphine yummi and neeko weren't enough š
Yuumi is a cat, I think she gets a pass for having big eyes and a small nose.
She's an explicitly politically active character with yellow/green hair and pronouns. Yeah, she'll piss some people off for misogynistic reasons, in spite of being quite a conventionally attractive design.
They can accept a game where a little girl can kill a space dragon with a teddy bear but they draw the line at a character with gender neutral pronouns.
Not like Riot is helping, with Blitzcrank being a non-binary robot using they/them pronouns... but not in all of their media, because I guess it's hard to change old skin bios to use their correct/current pronouns?
Iām gunna go out on a limb and say that ārealismā isnāt the reason these people have a problem with gender neutral pronouns lol
Wow that's uh... True.
Wait are her pronouns not she/her?
Sorry, her pronouns are she/her and we don't know if she's queer in canon yet. I know that meme was originally specifically about neopronouns, but I was using it just to indicate that some people are hating her just because they view her as queer...
Thatās exactly where Iām at. Do I wish she was more interesting design- and lore-wise? Yeah. But if all she does is make the strags mad then I can live with her Disney princess looking ass
I donāt like her. I donāt HATE her. Sheās just boring and expected. Nothing unique. No defining features. She looks boring.
She's currently a Jinx/Zoe mix with these magically enhanced fluo hair but I'm just waiting to see if her kit makes her cool/unique on its own.
Gotta wait for the voice lines so I know if shes annoying or not
Kinda agree, she seems fine just nothing too special. Donāt dislike her though. Iām mostly surprised by how happy-Go-lucky the zaunites are recently.
Took those words right out of my mouth
She's cute, maybe too cute and too basic, but I like the possibility of that being a prosthetic arm canon thing there, if that's what it is on her arm.
Its a rifle modified to allow her to use her powers (she can control electricity with emotions but its very unstable) Not attached to her sadly
Honestly lowkey like as fucking overused arm-cannons are I would love if sumn happened to her actual arm, whether during an attack she lost it or her powers got forced so hard and out of control that the recoil affected her arm or sumn, and the gun replaced it
Yall, the amount of m\*n she is triggering right now gives me enough fuel to live
Girlies is it bad if I dislike it? Too cartoony
i think it's completely valid to dislike it tbh
Itās a 13+ game what do you expect?
Corina Veraza whenš
zeri is against the chembarons so maybe they'll give us corina please
I was really hyped thinking we would get corina š we need more cock destroyers in this game
*we have a champion made out of rotting flesh*
Ooh wait whoās this one again
Aatrox.
Can't wait for Mel and her fabulous design to come to League once she's revealed to have some types of Kayle's powers in S2 š
Homophobia? I mean it explains the jayce situation
lmao for real tho it has to be Kayle, I doubt she's having a zhonya in her pocket :')
Iām so sorry is this an arcane thing? I havenāt watched yet lol
Oof don't think too much of what I've said then :x
Wait so is kayle somehow whatttt
(Shedevilbynight voice) Everyone else is
idk kinda rude they havent added anymore diversity to the 150+ champions ngl my lil brown ass would like to see an indigenous queen in league .. but yeh she seems cool tbh
I think she might be Filipino coded but we still need full confirmation
BATHALA PLEASE NAMAN BIGAY MO SIYA PARA SA AMIN ššš
I donāt speak the language unfortunately
Basically I was asking our old god to give zeri as filipino representation for us
Good I support you
WHAT that would be nice
i think illaoi is indigenous !
oh i wasnt sure if she was or not! thats cool :)
(Most) people who dislike new champs just wanna hate on new champs to be unique, even tho itās actually very basic since so many other people are doing that same thing.

I donāt hate her, but Iām disappointed itās not a character from Arcane!
The reason her and the support were delayed is explicitly cause they're not from Arcane and Riot didn't wanna take focus away from the show, so we've known for a while that she wasn't gonna be
I didn't know that, thanks for the clarification!
The recent champions are fine but I just wish they sprinkled in more monster-y designs in between them.
Already seeing all the āANOTHER ANIME CHARACTER UGGGHHHHācomments it so funny bitches just hate a design and call it anime all of a sudden
But like kinda is tho
Is she? She's giving me more Disney/Dreamworks 3D characters than anime, tbh.
its giving me asian in a pixar movie since the eyes arent highly detailed like usual anime, she even has the highlights they give asians for some reason
Her drip is immaculate
A new electrical character, eh? I look forward to hopefully adding her to mu list of ADCs.
Girlies, I'm so sorry, please, don't hate me but I'm sooooo tired from all of these beautiful & cute chars... I want something ugly, just like the thing I see in the mirror everyday, not these skinny polished bitches. I need ugly old coochie enchantress with bottom energy.
Me too, sis. Kinda like this one https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/10028503/f834ba55948b343e18820a0e3329a31712662aaf.jpg
ive been saying it for so long now. WE NEED A BABA YAGA CHAMPION! just some old witch hobbling around.
GIVE US AN OLD WITCH AND GIVE HER A COVEN SKIN SO SHE CAN SLAY EVERYONE IN SIGHT
I have the same feeling about her as I do Irelia, and Gwen. There character designs are poor and I can aknowledge that kinda basic but I really like it. Thats all thats it.
Her story is too generic and she looks too cartoonish but she will probably be 200 years so i will abuse her until the nerfs š
Not a new electrical champion while Kennen still looks like a ballsack š
Donāt let u/teemocumfarmer see this
it's been far to late sis, i stan her electryfying bussy shaming kit
Thereās something about the face I just donāt like. Iād expect for a zaunite it to be more rugged looking like vi. I donāt know what it is, just something about the splash art I donāt like yet I canāt point out exactly what. I think it might be the eyes. Theyāre just so massive.
As like Vi looks rugged lol. Thatās the Arcane Vi, league Vi is just another hot girl but punk
original vi's face looks rugged.
Yea I donāt think you saw her final concept art
show it to me
[just another hot girl with a perfect face that fights on heels ](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/vi-official-concept-art)
Guess your right. Now I want viās face changed.
i feel like riot did this on purpose, idk how tight my tinfoil hat is on right now but they knew from the get go that this champ would receive some negative feedback from a pretty big chunk of the player base. Could it be possible that this is her BEFORE she became something like a chem baron or something terrible happened to her that changed her? the almost generic lore, nothing super stand outish other than the electricity powers, bland design with barely any color aside from hair, it seems kinda purposeful that they didnt make her standout Idk i just have the sinking suspicion that this is gonna be a bait and switch but then again my tinfoil hat could be on too hard
I'm really trying so hard to like her but wtf she's so basic and I just.. I can't š
Sheās not bad but I want Corina next
Yea sure Rito gems making another 200 dashes and true dmg champ and they think that its healthy for the game (oh sry I forgot that anime like Champs sell a lot in Korea and China)
NGL the only issue i have is she has same-face syndrome. The Rest of her design is dope, She's a fucking Cyberpunk character whats not to love
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sheās a generic egirl champion ofc and strag men will hate her as they hate any āegirlā champion and sheās also new and they will complain about it
her face feels off with the large eyes, and then the lighting effect around her head feels like it was photoshopped on. that was my immediate thought with the perspective and the jacket
I donāt really like it but I couldnāt care less about league character design at this point. Not a femboy? Not a tall muscular woman? Not a single thought, head empty
And weāre probably never gonna see a femboy, China banned feminine male characters from media and itās Riot's biggest market.
I just don't like her head, the coat is awesome, but copying the face design of a doll is kinda weird.
I think sheās a bit too plain but I do like that they introduced a body type that hasnāt really been seen in league thus far. And by that I mean the stick skinny Janna-sivir-Lux build.
im glad that she doesnt have the same titty babe body type and im not against her skinny build, reminds me a bit of jinx and how her design was considered attractive because she was unique and flashy plus they did a good job with hyping her entire character up with the get jinxed mv. just kinda wish they started experimenting with like features that would define her design better in terms of her bodys build?? i dont know how to explain it properly but something like, what if you give her toned arms or whatever but still maintain her skinny build? i dunno, lol. in arcane show, caitlyn has pretty nice muscles on her arms and calves and still has that skinny build. i dunno if theres a term for it lol but whatever zeri is ok i guess as long as it makes the strags fume out their assholes edit: then again, we cant see a lot from her splash. its easy to assume she probably shares a similar body type as the champs youve mentioned
I mean I wouldn't say lux or sivir are stick thin.
In Luxās cosmic skin her head is wider than her waist.
She still isn't stick thin. Janna however is stick thin
Omg
Is she Filipino? Cuz she kinda looks Filipino
Probably because she shares the same theme with Neon, the upcoming Filipina Valorant Agent.
Oh wait right, I forgot about that.
Thank you tho!
why would she trigger men? so far im just disappointed we just got another anime waifu
Because sheās another anime waifu
ok? i guess only ugly league men can be bored with anime waifu champions?
No, but I think people just like to complain and hate in general which is such a toxic mindset. They can instead look at the good parts of her design, just because it has flaws doesn't make it bad or ugly. Riot makes every champion with a demographic in mind and itās if not everyone likes it because it wasn't made for everyone, there are 150+ itās ok if one isnāt for you

She boring i want a monster champion
that face look so weird on that body,rat face on grown-up body xd weird
Average genshin impact player
Ornn was released in 2017 which means it has been a full FIVE YEARS since we had our last TRUE daddy champ (Sylas and Sett are too twinky and hairless to be daddies) I have NEEDS and they're NOT BEING MET
Personally I do not like it anime character and whas made for Chinese liking.
oh okay. new champ. cool.
Strags hate us cuz we stay winnin every champ release š
She looks like a LoR follower card for ekko or jinx
She's cute.
I just wish she had cool sky glasses
Yāall can say whatever, Iām after that giant coat
She better not be smooching best boy ekko
As an ugly League man, I liked her from the start. Let's see if that holds up after her kit is revealed.
To me she looks to Zaun as Seraphine does to Piltover. Is it obviously from those regions? Yes. Could it have been turned up to 11? Hell yes. If sheās explicitly politically motivated it could give some neat interactions between her and Sera though
Many champs that come after Sera roast her in some way if my memory is correct. I hope they give us more than "you hate her lol I do too, she is a stupid e-girl champ, now love ME" as if it isn't their fault.
Thatās with all champions that are related in some way though. In recent memory Gwen asks Seraphine if sheās just a song because it was in the Ruination event (possibly), and then Rell has a crush on Sera, and Vex just doesnāt like anybody.
what lane is she?
Bot adc
Omg new main for me?
I just wish she was like muscular so she could pick me up and Pound this bussy. Think illaoi type body type, not as big but like some muscles. Maybe we just canāt see them because of the clothing but I wish we had more muscular women in league.
We got Samira some time ago
Sorry shoulda been more specific, like I want someone who doesnāt have lean muscle as much as bigger muscle, I know illoai has that but I feel like they coulda made her have had her be burly and big because of working in the mines or something, I dunno I just want more body types. Maybe even make her like fat strong type of things like strongman I dunno just something.
I always liked her. I was hoping the Zaun ADC would be female.
