Players of League of Legends have criticised Riot for utilising the Lunar Empress Ashe model for the most recent Immortal Journey Kayle skin.
Since there are 164 playable champions, each with its own narrative, playstyle, and lore, the devs have taken extra care to make each one appear and feel distinct.
This frequently entails creating unique models for each champion in order to make them unique from one another. When it comes to the skins that the devs provide, however, this can occasionally alter.
Players have expressed concern over the new Immortal Journey Kayle’s skin, which was recently featured in the Immortal Journey skin line on the PBE. Many players have found out how very similar the skin’s model is to the previously released Ashe Lunar Empress.
Ashe’s model got reused for Immortal Journey Kayle
Boudynasr, a Reddit user, provided proof to support their claim that the new Immortal Journey Kayle skin uses “reused” components.
The user showed out the identical hairstyles and attire that the two skin models had by comparing the two skin models side by side. Ashe’s bow and Kayle’s wings distinguish the two since they are obviously two different champions, and Kayle’s transcending mechanism modifies the model.
“F**k it, take that exact model, and make it katarina, diana, lux, kaisa, vayne, riven, caitlyn, and leblanc. add a mask and make it lissandra. take the lissandra one, make it shorter, and add some deer legs and it’s kindred. slightly taller and make it soraka. replace the legs with chicken legs and it’s xayah. add the tail of a fish and it’s nami. ez woman skin creation.”
“They are putting great work towards the game”
“Bro what the hell they’re not even hiding it.”
The uploaded models infuriated many players, who mockingly praised Riot’s work. Others also voiced annoyance with the skins’ accompanying the typical skin design pattern.
Riot could improve the skin’s model even though it is unclear whether they will do so before the skin is released because it is currently available on the PBE.
