    The bigger sword isn't really any better in either regard. I don't understand why people have to make up these terrible bladed weapons. It's not as if history doesn't have plenty of awesome examples.

    sounds like you'd be doing some really innovative and exciting art design for these games, carrot

    I reiterate:

    I don't understand why anyone would give a shit about a shot that you're going to see for roughly .05% of the time you play the game, assuming you play her a lot.

    I mean, you do see the champion portrait fairly often. Most notably the face, which you will see constantly on your minimap.

    It is enough that I'm often pissed by how stupid Cho'gath's eyes are.

    Cho'Goth is already stylistically one of the most ripped off champions anyway. Might as well have terrible art to go with it.

    Riot is kind of known for terribad splash art on some champs. It's a thing because of how unsteady their art team's output is, and the fact the chinese art is so much better. For a professional company that can hire real artists, their splash art should not be looking like it was pulled from some random deviant art page.

    I'm telling you, there's got to be some artist who has been on the team since the beginning who's a real amateur, and now they have the money to hire someone better but they just haven't.

    Perhaps sort of a loyalty thing.

    But really that artist should be improving and he's totally not.

    Are you guys honestly whining about the size of a fictional character's forearms being too small to wield a magical shattered runesword?

    Here's your answer: ITS A MAGIC SWORD.

    A wizard literally did it.

    I like all of them. I tried to get them to cycle but couldn't figure out and didn't feel it worth the effort.

    I like the Dash one partially because I really really like the way her face looks there, and partially because her rainbow hair is pretty neat. I made a similar one in GIMP but the path tool isn't as good so it came out slightly less cool in some ways. But it's mine and I made it, so I'm pleased.

    (I also like it because Dash is one of my favorites, along with Ms. Diane Pie.)

    What is that, the elf swords from LOTR? There is pretty much no good, logical, effective way to fight with such a blade, especially two handed as they intend. Further, since the game is a zoomed out RTS game, you aren't going to see any of the neat craftwork on the blade, especially when you consider half of it is a hilt which means from many views it will be obscured by the characters hands/arms/body.

    Someone posted it in the Diablo thread. Or maybe at the end of the last one.

    Hey now! MNC was decent fun at first before the developers moved at a glacial pace to fix what was wrong with it. Hopefully their second swing (Super MNC) will come out better.

    I feel like I would have enjoyed MNC on the PC a thousand times more than MNC on the XBox.

    Another developer with bad things to say about Microsoft I guess, its a shame that XBL is doing so well because nobody else seems to really have any competition. If there's competition to XBL, its probably Steam.
