they did it for readability, since Lee's main tell between his skins now is the ponytail, (expect for a slight few due to them being unable to work with one), and storm dragon was THE skin that brought up readability issues, i think it was slightly needed

[@SajoobXiPu]

Adding pony tail to traditional, pool party, nightbringer, fpx, and ESPECIALLY storm dragon is so disheartening. God fist looks outdated IMO. Im just really upset about storm dragon's pony tail. The loose hair is just way better and the TFT chibi will now look mismatched unless they update that too (I hope they just get rid of the pony tail...)

[@SajoobXiPu]

I also think taking away the bruce lee-esq footwork/pendulum footwork from dragonfist takes away its character.. otherwise that skin looks great all around after the changes... and they kept the short hair here so why not keep it on traditional and storm dragon..?

[@MagorTuga]

God Fist is literally his best skin, tf u on about?

[@SajoobXiPu]

@@MagorTuga look at his VFX from other videos. If we are talking about the same one, the gold one, it is clearly missing an update to VFX of his skills in this update.

[@jhenxou4721]

The pony tail is part of lee-sin's original look. look at base lee sin, he has a pony tail, they just meshed it into his skin because of the tech issues back when he released. this is all on their dev post as to why they added his pony tail to be an actual pony tail. Not including the pony tail is like not including akali's mask in all her skins or not including morgana's wings in her skins.

[@SajoobXiPu]

@@jhenxou4721 even in the rework dragon fist has short hair, god fist is bald, knockout has a cap. Identity, technical capability differences, or not, it just looks way better IMO. Just an opinion many people seem to share. I also don’t think his pony tail should be considered identity.. monks can also be bald.. his identity is spiritual balance and martial arts and yaknow... a blind monk... Something they also removed when they made the god fist skin cocky and arrogant and have no blindfold. Akali is also missing her mask in numerous skins.. I think if they made the hair slicked back, instead of how it currently is - similar to how yasuo is where it flows into the pony tail it might be acceptable.

[@mazkiey1364]

Most champions do that actually, it's an animation technique to convey motion It's extremely exaggerated, but from the game perspective, it's barely noticeable

[@megarayquaza9054]

It's an animation technique, since League is a top down game, they have to exaggerate the animations to convey motion better for the eyes to see

[@ravindupadmanath2802]

A little fun fact you should care about: When it comes to ASU, sometimes Riot will often use the champs' Legendary Skin as a reference to create a new model, which makes sense since why create something completely from the ground up when you already have that from the Legendary Skin hence why the legendary skins dont get any particular update outside of color and splashart update. (KEEP IN MIND THEY USE THE LEGENDARY SKIN AS A REFERENCE NOT COPYING, they still got to make their own animations separate) -ASU cait takes a lot from pulsefire Caitlyn -ASU Ahri takes a lot from Star Guardian Ahri -Jax definitely took from warrior kingdom jax And Lee Sin is most likely used from storm dragon Lee Sin

[@c.a.1494]

Imma say the legs... They just seem odd for me

[@leetri]

It's because the model is supposed to only be looked at from almost top-down way zoomed out, but you're looking at it from the front while way zoomed in. Proportions and animations are designed for the in-game camera since that's the only thing you'll see.

[@MalphasMikaelson]

@@leetri That doesn't make any sense at all. Lee out here acting like a contortionist in the remake in some of his animations just means it's low quality trash. Do you honestly think while they are creating the animations they zoom out as they are creating it? Of course not.

[@leetri]

@@MalphasMikaelson Of course they do. Do you have any clue whatsoever about how art and animation works? Riot has literally made videos about how they design characters and skins and show their process, we know how they work. It is literally industry standard to design around the in-game camera because that's the only thing that matters. The only low quality trash here is your ability to think.

[@MalphasMikaelson]

@@leetri If things look awkward from close up then they are not going to look good from afar... There are literal issues with how they've made animations for this remake. Stop defending low quality work and hiding by the whole "it looks good from afar!" no it doesn't.

[@bioraidos5454]

All of the extra ponytail additions give off that vibe of a kid who just discovered transition effects in PowerPoint and just can't help but add as many different transitions animations as possible. The ponytail is nice but there are a lot of skins here that really did not need it and it feels like the devs were a little too excited with the tech and added it as much as possible

[@jhenxou4721]

no it's because that was supposed to be how base lee sin looks like. His ponytail was what helped define his character, like Xin Zhou. It was supposed to be an important part of his character model, but back then they just meshed it into his shoulders and called it a day. If he was a more recent character people wouldn't be complaining about it. MOST of his skins need it to define that he is Lee Sin, its like giving pantheon a skin where he doesn't have his helmet or crest. it should only be used applied to some special skins

[@CaptainIcebeard]

@@jhenxou4721 If he was a more recent character he would have been released like that, not changed 13 years after the fact. It really isn't on for them to just add a bunch of things to skins people paid for. They could have made a new champ that has a similar vibe and given that one the ponytail.

they gave him an actual silhouette. You can see even here old lee sin didn't have any defining characteristics to his silhouette.

The pony tail does feel like a bit of a cop out though.

[@RevaloNodriana]

I know it's too late now, but I wish they went harder on redesigning his main design and his skins, especially older ones, I don't feel much current Ionia aesthetic from default Lee Sin and some skins look a bit odd and could have used some cooler designs for their concepts Although I have a feeling they went very light on redesigned (besides the ponytail) because he is extremely iconic, I had the same feeling for some of Ahri's older skins and her base design as well, and I know it's not a "problem" with ASUs because Jax and Cait had pretty substantial redesigns

[@kairensintal]

Adding a bis ass ponytail for readability? Understandable, but just leaving it out in a couple skins makes the issue even worse. And while I do believe that the ponytail can work and look cool on storm dragon, I really, really hope they tweak the physics of it. Just doesn't behave correctly in many animations and makes a legendary skin of all things feel cheap.
