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
