Briar, League’s upcoming champion, had her splash art leaked before her release, causing some debate within the community.
Briar has been teased for a while up to her release, with much of her kit even got leaked beforehand of her initial release date. Her splash art, on the other hand, has lived up to its reputation and created a splash on social media.
With recent leaks revealed, Briar is a failed experiment of Black Rose, the Noxian secret organization. She has become unmanageable as a result of the experiment and is thus imprisoned in a pillory. The pillory both restrains her and helps her focus her attention. She explodes into a fury without the pillory and just follows her appetite for “Knowledge and Blood.”
In the splash art, Briar is tied in a strange pair of shackles that resemble a weapon, resting atop the body of what looks to be a soldier. However, one feature of the incoming League of Legends champion has piqued people’s interest.
Briar’s leaked splash art sparks debate
Foot fetish is a new addition to the list of things that have sparked community outrage in League of Legends’ long history and hundreds of playable champions.
Briar’s feet have been a huge source of conversation in the community, with many members calling out individuals who have made forward comments about her feet, especially given her young looks.
Some quickly gravitated towards her feet, while others were horrified by the reaction because it is uncertain whether or not the character is a minor, given her childish appearance.
This resulted in a tweet spreading that obscured her feet, an alteration convincing enough to confuse others before it was proved to be false.
While fans of the game are eager to see what her official kit has in store for them, the unanticipated controversy surrounding her reveal has generated an outcry in the community that Riot has yet to address.
