Aphelios is bad because at least 2 of his guns could be champions all on their own with plenty of interesting mechanics and unique ADC play. Also he literally exists just because CertainlyT wanted to put one last champion in game before leaving for other Riot projects.

yeah those champions are jinx and caitlyn and they're both much better than him

All I know is that both Pop Stars and Giants were about how awesome the people singing them are and as that is the least interesting form of music to me I have decided to ignore all further KDA and True Damage songs in the future.

Yeah I own Aphelios as a gimmick pick.
Kai'sa I think is bad. Mostly because I really, REALLY dislike playing short range adc's with no dashes. It feels awful.
Kai'sa also relies on her passive to deal chunks of damage, and her pick potential in solo queue feels REALLY hit or miss.
Sometimes that time you decide to flank the enemy team you'll realize that the support was saving exhaust just for you and you end up dead in 1 second.

I'm honestly surprised Riot's legal team hasn't sussed out whether or not they can get away with opening onlyfans accounts for the KDA characters

Would probably net them a SHITLOAD of money

Not really, several payment processors would drop them like a hot potato and a bunch of countries would ban them from selling their games, quite probably including China.

Lots of people go completely loving bonkers when anything that even vaguely looks like it could be adjacent to pornography or sex work gets brought to the table.

They should just make vocaloids for their fake bands so they wouldn’t have to pay real singers. I’m surprised they haven’t actually.

Not making Seraphine into a vtuber under the official RIOT channel is going to be seen as a huge missed opportunity.

For Vocaloids I think they want to make good music so thats probably why they didnt do that

They dont need to run it full time, but streaming 3 hours a week for each of their core games to show off would have made sense. They are about to have like 5+ new riot games in the next few years and they could have had a virtual brand ambassador to stream first looks + collab with other influencers to drive interest.

The fact that they are just unceremoniously dumping the entire seraphine persona is hilarious, what a disaster and waste of time and money.

The only thing I remember about Anthony Burch is that a redditor freaked out when he was hired because he said he would be willing to include LGBT people even if it makes the story worse.

Which, A) would not happen because Neeko is the best character and her thirst for the other female animal people is a big reason for that, and B) lol at thinking League's lore was ever great.

the worst thing about League lore is that I know deep down that it's never going to focus on any of the actually interesting characters
