So recently on reddit someone asked "Why do people make Kai'sa's design such a big deal?"
Like:
League of legends already has a shit ton of beautiful characters, in fact out of the entire roster of 62 females (currently) only two could be considered ugly and that's a literal ice bird and demon dog. There are a few outlier champions like: Illaoi and Bel'veth that arent "conventionally attractive" but can still be considered beautiful/fuckable by a majority.
Theres nothing wrong with having a beautiful character but when you have a design that is controversial to their story and you prioritize the sex appeal and marketability over the individual it becomes a problem. Especially with the insane amount of skinny pretty women that dominate the ratio here. I'm not asking for ugly characters I'm asking for good design. Besides that's what skins are for.
Lets also appreciate these beauties for representing diversity:
Illaoi: First woman to have an extreme muscular build
Rell: First woman to have an afro
Jinx: First woman (no lolis dont count) to have a flat physique
Arcane Vi: First woman to be adapted into a masculine tomboy (so excited shes now cannon to runeterra lore)
Taliyah: First woman to have unconventioal beauty in facial features (also first trans in star guardian)
Kalista: First woman designed without beauty or attractiveness as primary goal.
Renata Glasc: First woman to actually look like an aged lady (looking at you camille)
Thanks for listening to another negative rant about lol.

Know the loom. Be the stone.
Haven’t posted in a while, my life kinda went to hell for a while :/
But anyway I apologize for leagueposting but I have a strong love for Taliyah. I care her. This is also sorta a followup to my Jhin set and hey I might make more
[ID: four versions of the same drawing of Taliyah from League Of Legends. She is a slender young woman, with brown skin. Her hair is dark brown, tied back with red ribbon. She is wearing a long sleeved blue tunic with gold detailing along the edges, brown pants, and a long red coat with more gold thread detailing. The collar of the coat, as well as the edges of the sleeves, are all stone, and she has stone bracelets around her wrists. She is looking upwards with a wondrous expression, one hand raised, and the other stretched out behind her.
There are two stone pillars, one on each side of her, with an archway above. All look to be somewhat crumbling. Between the pillars, the background is orange, with gold lines running through, and a gold ringed blue circle, with a golden compass above it, which resembles the sun. Several rocks float around her. There is a banner at the bottom, stylized like a tapestry, which reads “THE STONEWEAVER” in gold.
In the first version of the drawing, Taliyah is fully colored and shaded, with a black line art. In the second, it is the same shaded version, but without the line art. In the third, it is flat, slightly desaturated coloring, with black line art. And in the last, the outer background is a burgundy tone, and the line art is gold instead of black. END ID]

Constantly thinking about that part in Hollowspun where Kai’sa shows her full face to Taliyah and thinking about how if Kai’sa looked less human and more voidy it would have been so much better for Taliyah to still recognize her as a person and show her that same compassion and love.
Like come on
It would have been even better. “You see me?” Kai’sa, who barely even looks like a human anymore, asks Taliyah.
“I’m so sorry.” Taliyah, who still sees the woman that Kai’sa really is, replies, full of regret that she had hurt her
