So shes a hacker right ? so why does she have cats as a motto ? and whats up with the tail ? i dont see an overlaping design goal here im sorry 😄

[stuck bane]

She has lore with shinbi in the music industry

It's likely a cats and dogs thing

[magic basin]

i mean same for shinbi

why does a kpop star have a sword

and where do the wolves come from

[stuck bane]

Those are show lighting effects

And I think the sword is supposed to be her prop when singing

[daring vine]

so why does she have cats as a motto
As someone who has been to congresses and conventions in that field, I can tell you that everyone is wearing catears there.

the cool ones have Rgb ones

[fathom garden]

also not a fan of this character. at least when it was just shinbi she was unique, now theres an uninspired phase clone also running about.

[next sage]

We all know who the target audience is

[past mirage]

Why doesn't her tail come into use/ability? Why isn't she shooting lasers or something from it as her alt instead of cat heads?? There's nothing special/different to her - missed opportunity there!
She's like Phases twin sister but in mid ...

Thats what you sound like.

Saying she's a lazy design because you don't understand the lore around the kpop theme or frankly just don't like it is wild after they made characters like Akeron and Argus.

Omeda is very capeable, y'all just bitching like tiny babies. There is a bigger picture that none of you underatands yet, get over it.

[fathom garden]

Missing the point. The K-pop design is not unique and alienates the majority of the community who have been asking for something outside the box like monster characters. I’m sure Omeda is capable but have not been showing it and are playing with safe and similar assets

[fathom garden]

I understand you like her aesthetic but it could have been a skin with the moveset made for a more original character

[haughty gate]

Who is the majority of the playerbase, you and three other people that I've seen cry?

What logic does it follow that a character that is doing music, that is on stage, that is an idol and Shinbis rival does not fit the kpop skin by default?

I don't care about listening to kpop personally if this is what you want to argue, I don't care about her aesthetics. What I don't understand is attacking a character's design disregadring her lore.

It simply doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter if I personally like her aesthetic or not it is logical for her design to be this way to be this way because that is what she does.

Muriel and Kallari were in a program and were turned into cyborgs so they look like cyborgs, Narbash is a fkn Ogre that's why he is green and beefy, Murdock has a siren on his back because he is a cop do you need more examples?

The design makes sense.

[fathom garden]

Those designs make sense. This one does too much and doesn’t do it well. There’s 2 full on kpop hero’s now. Great! Where are the 2 gruxs, khaimeras, or sevarogs. They all fit into their own thing without leaning into something already done.

[haughty gate]

Wait till they add Marty, then we will have three of them!

[fathom garden]

So ive heard. Best as just skins

[gaunt briar]

Thats pretty ridiculous to suggest we need equel numbers of everything just because there are two character archetypes in game. Does League need 6 Demacian Knights because there is 6 Darkin? Yall tend to forget that characters are used to fill out lore for the worlds.

Its pretty tiring how people in this community behave like they need a thesis on every choice Omeda makes.

[magic basin]

so cause everyone seems to suggest my post is made too hate the kpop aspcet

its not!

for me the character has just too many things going on that dosent fit togehter

[fathom garden]

League has 172 champs. Pred has 40

[gloomy crystal]

And when Riot releases something that is similar to other concepts (Sonna and Seraphim for example) people complain non stop, people call it out to Riot, the whole community jumps to complain together etc.

[mighty token]

Speaking of Riot and N3ON, N3ON's design and abilities are heavily inspired by Ahri from League of Legends if she was a futuristic K-Pop wannabe. The cat ear and cat tail serve as a counterpart to Shinbi's wolves (canine vs feline) and shares appearance with Ahri (cat ears/fox ears, cat tail/fox tails). Both fire an orb that travels forwards dealing magical damage, then returns dealing true damage, fire a projectile that mesmerizes/charms, and an ability that gives them mobility. Ahri is a fun character, a fan favorite, so I'm sure they took that in consideration when creating N3ON.
