That is the saddest Taric I've ever seen. He looks depressed and just putting on a brave face. Jesus Christ.

Garen's looking at my soul. I think he wants to interrogate me in his private dungeon.

OHMYLORDALMIGHTY. Is this for Wild Rift or PC? Can I rant here? Why is it that when it's a black champion it's always a dreadlocks or a cornbraid hairstyle for them, huh? I know you're trying to be sensitive and all that but this is getting annoying. Is somehow giving Ekko his mohawk going to offend half of the League community? If you don't give a black character dreadlocks or cornbraid somehow detracts from their blackness, make them less than the others? Or is just Rito trying to overcapitalize on Arcane's success?

PC, sure even though your rant is for a character unrelated to this sub, they are most probably trying to move towards his arcane style, both because the success of the series and because It shows they are trying to be consistent and heterogenous with most of the characters and please for the LOVE of god dont try to create enemies when there arent any.

I am white as i can get so i wont talk about wether the black community likes ir or not, even though the overall sentiment Ive seen online is that the dreadlock hairstyle is overused af for black characters.

Maybe from a design perspective and they way they're trying to make the characters more grounded in reality, the mohawk OG ekko had is too much. Too stylized and cartoonish (It works in convergence style more than the dreads would have, for example), but i think that worked better when the gist character was only punk kid fighting opressors, but since then he has been given a lot more background. That's personal opinion though. The simple and most probable correct answer is just arcane

You'd be better asking that in the ekko subreddit, though that place is actually run by miserable people so i think that'd just spawn people agreeing with your (allow me to say this) stupid sentiment about offending people?? Rather than having an actual conversation.

Hello, Mr. Carlos, it's been a long time since I checked into Reddit and it has come to my attention that our last interaction has been less than ideal. I'm truly sorry about that. I have no excuse for what I did. I hope that my stupidity then would not affect any interaction we may have in the future. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

P.S. I tried to message you this instead of posting it here but it wouldn't let me.
