In Game Model (Sivir)

  • Just starting off by saying i love the champions you release art department; you are clearly gifted at what you do, but how in the world was a champion like this out for so long with this in game model.

    edit: 100 thumbs up ty guys <3... / dam near 200 upvotes thanks guys

    edit: I am throwing money at my screen, but nothing is happening Riot plz.

    Edit: Nidalee pick percentage before remodel 8-9 percent -----> after remodel+ free week 20-25 percent
    Sivir pick percentage S2 6-7 percent ----> after remodel ???????

    Edit: Want to thank RiotAmes on giving us an update to show they have not forgotten about poor ol' sivir... and of course ironstylus


    Here is an video: of spectacular skin that is particularly bad.....
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPD9rracNOg

    Now i am no expert nor do i claim to be one ..., but come on lol. When is saw her played in singapore she was amazing!

    -------->They say she is not on the priority list because she is under played ...., well she is underplayed because she looks like a cheap hooker with polio!<---------
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Anyways....

    Sivir is suppose to be a battle mistress! One of the wealthiest people in her land. She launches boomerangs that rip apart foes! How? I do not know she should not even be able to lift up her arms with those flimsy muscles.


    #1 Some things to look at when watching the video

    - Hair: her hair looks like a black glob that was super glued to a disproportional head.

    - Shoulder: shoulder looks like a tumor that has been growing for awhile; thus, stunting the growth of her biceps.

    - Upper Arm: biceps are not there at all ( how she throws a boomer that takes people from 100 to 40 is beyond me)

    - Elbows: elbows look severally anorexic and undernourished

    - Hands: her hands are triangles

    - Waist: Her waist is not of that of a human

    #2. The next thing that bothers be is her back swing animation on her auto attack. For those of you who are not familiar with it: it is basically a small jolt of her hand forward. It is really awkward looking and makes her whole model appear even more sad D=.
    Edit: Mostly caused by higher attack speeds^^^^^

    #3: Weapon: her weapon is paper thin!

    #4 ------------------------------> Face: Her face looks like it was dipped in acid then beat with a bat! <-------------------------

    #5 Weapon: Sivir's Glaives are always glitching out and going invis

    #6 Feet: her feet are blocks!

    keenly meaning; we will get to it after we finish giving kat and teemo more skins

    Just an added thought, We are releasing new Champions, every two weeks or so, when older champions who deserve a remodel more get left in the dust!

    ------->Show some love for the oldest ADC carry... the first adc ever created by LoL: she is a part of the orignal six!<---------

    Throw in some thumbs up if we agree so we can get some attention; also any extra feed back will be good =)

    P.S. : i know reds should not get our hopes up, but just seeing the posts makes us feel a tid bit better! Even giving us a hint on who is next will take the edge off! Hell make it a riddle =P

    Rescaling champions has some unexpected consequences- champions are balanced according to how easy they are to hit by skill shots. If we made Sona's body bigger, we might need to shrink her dress, weapon, etc or we'd risk making her harder to play.

    This is true, but that feeling when you think you hit someone ("I saw it hit them!") but don't deal damage sucks. There's a disconnect there. We could do it if it made sense.

    Brand is a viking's body empowered with a vengeful spirit. He's naturally a big dude- possibly made even larger through the possession.
