@@otterfire4712 i don't count skins tho, i was talking only of base design, because of "visual clarity" Morgana only gets skins with long dresses tho sadly
And poor Sona's dress is like 6 polygons, and most other long dresses stick to characters legs like clingwrap. Morgana is the prettiest champion in league to me with how her dress swishes and sways and her fluffy wing tail follows her movements using the same coding logic as cassiopea or asols tails.
@@4dragons632 my problem with Morgana is that she doesn't get different styles of dresses, like Old Bewitching Morgana for example, i loved that puffy big dress
Although I understand the clothing point. I think that showing skin is also a human thing. Scars, marks, wrinkles (not that she has any) are part of out story and a human being. For me, covering everything up would be covering humanity. Also, she is soooooo dramatic, let her have a pretty dress to twirl in.
I agree, like, sexuality or just being sexy, or you know, have a stetic, are all normal human things. Sometimes people get so afraid of these topics, but forget to remember that those are all frequently human characteristics, not everyone's equal, sure.
@@danieltomitch7048i think its hard for people to approach these subjects without gooners coming out of the woodworks and ruining it tbh. Like yea there could be a theme for showing skin and all that but most, probably dont care so hard to approach design like that
thing about Morgana's LoR level up is the way it is a mirror of how Kayle's level up is. Both sisters are both divine and mortal. But then you have Kayle, who's trying to be only divine but levels up and loses her helmet so looks more mortal. Then Morgana is trying to be just mortal, but in her level up she spreads her wings and thus looks more divine. They mirror each other, and also kind of says that to reach their full power they have to use both halves of their nature. Not sure if that was the intention from the devs, but it totally works for me that way.
For me, frankly Morgana and Kayle have one of the best Lore of all LoL And I would love, maybe not an animated series like “Arcane” but just a short trilogy depicting the stories of the sisters in animation Especially because this story is very moving, there would be crying, there would be emotion and curiosity about what a particular sister was doing at a particular time
@@Imnotfanti not even close lol, Azir is cool and Yone and Yasuo have good story but Morgana and Kayle story is more compeling and has cooler themes and a lot of room to explore interesting topics, like how Arcane did with Jinx and Vi. Not to mention their story can introduce Darkin and Ascended champs, most Ionian characters just have a story about them.
@@MeleysRQ yone, etc introduce the azakana one of the coolest concepts in league Kayle and Morgana feel too generic for me idk, jaxs/pantheon or even veigar would be much more entertaining not to mention darkins are introduced because of morgana and kayle
Morgana is one of my favorites. I know her design seems a bit odd for her current narrative, but I just feel good strutting into lane in a fancy dress ready to serve hard cc. I do wish her skins had a bit more variety though. They’re always “what if morgana wore a fancy dress again?”
For some reason, I never once thought that Morgana was evil. Even with the OG. Her dialogue always suggested immense pain and anguish. Of course, when Kayle and Morgana's reworks came out, I felt even more justified with feeling that Morgana wasn't the evil twin. And maybe one of the reasons why she exposes her skin is to show her fragility with accepting her mortality. Humans are fragile creatures after all, and what better way to show our fragility than by exposing our skin? She's mostly exposed on her back where her chained wings are and her chest where her heart is. As for the leg, well, she needs to be mobile right? Having a slit in her dress gives her that mobility for combat. Of course, this is all just my interpretation. I've always loved Morgana. She was the third champion I bought 7+ years ago.
I really like what they did in lor but I think that her "being sexy" and having fancy clothes makes also sense. She enjoys the human part of her body after all
Morgana's LoR update is so good. Especially adding in the followers for her to interact with and talk to, gives her the chance to talk and show who she is. Much like LoR Nautilus suddenly becomes grumpy grampa to the sea creatures.
and they were interesting characters in their own right. LoR does way to good a job. I now care more about many supporting non-champions that I do about mot champions.
@@keithharper32 Yeah. The newest update to Lux for example in the dream/nightmare expansion showing off her vision of a perfect dream Demacia or how in her dreams she pictures herself as a kind mentor to a scared young mage - and not some conquering hero - show off her personality really well too.
Morgana is a funny one for me because, on the one hand, I love her. I started playing league within the last five or so years and I liked Morg cause she was pretty and I loved the animations of her dragging, feathery dress. On the other hand, when I first learned about her lore I definitely felt like there was a disconnect. I do entirely agree that LoR Morgana is the superior creature, though, to almost no-ones' surprise.
Morgana has been one of my favourite characters for a while, I love the compassionate justice design theme and whilst I agree her design is not the most interesting I love that she just oozes class and power. Also her skins are amazing Coven was my first legendary skin
Morgana was one of the first champs I picked up in league, and she's still one of my favorites (alongside Kayle). I wish her LoR lore carried more into League, but I love both designs and her story. She's such a great antithesis to Kayle.
I feel the difference between Morg and Kayle was supposed to the method of how judgement is passed. Kayle is judgement applied consistently, unbending. Regardless your circumstances for committing whatever crime, you get the same punishment as someone else - and that punishment will more-or-less fit the crime. She's not gonna execute bread-stealing orphans. She's going to give them the same sentence as any other bread thief, which is probably a fine, community service or a short stay in prison. She's eschewing contextual influence as she sees it as a symptom of mortality, and unbefitting of her divine status. She doesn't consider redemption specifically, because she thinks justice is supposed to be punitive. You commit a wrongdoing, you get justice'd. At least, for crimes where something like community service (which, to me, feels like a punishment meant to be redemptive?) isn't an acceptable punishment. Conversly, Morg is supposed to be justice informed by context and emotion. Before she passes judgement and punishment, she asks "Why?" This leads to people getting longer or shorter sentences based on the perceived harm they've caused or felt. Morg probably wouldn't lay any punishment on our starving bread-stealing orphans from earlier, but she may apply overly harsh judgement on people who are assholes, reasoning that she should suffer more because of the suffering they've inflicted (even if said suffering is not technically a moral or legal crime). That suffering can be abated should the wrongdoer recant and seek redemption, because punitive justice doesn't make people better. Kayle's virtue is that she's consistent and reliable, unswayed and incorruptible. But she's also blind, unempathetic and supports strictly punitive justice. Morg's virtue is that she's compassionate and willing to listen. But she's prone to under- or overreaction based on who has her ear or heart, and thinks torture is okay is the person is a shithead. They're supposed to work together to account for each other's flaws and serve proper justice, and the tragedy of their story comes from being unable to due to different feeling about their circumstances. Did it come across this way? Ummm...
Ah morgana, the prettiest sister. No joke every skin she got post rework has been quite enjoyable.... unlike her petulant holy murderer sister. To me the dress kinda do fits for her as a way to represent that she embraces her human side on a more carefree way. Ofc the LoR design is prettier too, i think both do a good job to convey who Morgana is as a character. Speaking of, i do really enjoy her personality, voicelines and motives of a more fair and square compassionate judgement upon others, one can't help but sympathyze more with her. I also thank her for giving sylas the development he needed in mageseeker. Also heehoo next week is F U N N E D O G
"True grace is beautiful in its imperfection, honest in its emotion, freed by its own frailty." This is the reason I like Morgana's Character & Personality, I have always been in the mindset to praise faults that are harmless, its fun & enjoyable, but to go a bit deeper, to Strive for perfection is to never achieve it, since there is no objective perfection, to be humble, to seek to understand and correct mistakes you have made, be them intentional or not, not to better than those around you, but to be better than you once were, because what most people end up wanting in life is happiness, which unlike perfection, is obtainable, it is not something you can obtain forever, but something that you can achieve, lose and regain with effort and understanding
Honestly Morgana forgoing her angelic armor for chains and a dress seems fine to me, I actually don't have any real issue with that. Witches have always had a large variety of aesthetics and I really don't see the "big titty goth gf", I think at worst one of those Splash arts had so little waist for no reason. I see a dark witch with a simple design. Though we really should have the LoR stuff as a costume at least. That shit is fire. And really I think the juxtaposition of her being the veiled lady for appearances with strangers given her reputation versus her true self she shows to her followers and those she trusts just makes sense. If Riot actually cared a lot about the pain angle she'd look way more like a character from Hellraiser, and do we actually want to be playing Pinhead styled Morgana? I feel a lot of people are just into the simple sexy dark witch vibes even if there's room to bring more lore into it.
12:40 Yeah, can't say I like that design, it's cool by itself, but it makes her somehow look less human than Kayle, she looks like she's a spirit, not an actual "human being"
Oh nice, I've been looking forward to this video since Nithin's stream! :D It's cool to see the other perspective on this match. You know what isn't cool? The fact that Morgana's voice actress actually died in a police shoot out last week. I'm sure you all saw the news. RIP queen 🙏
@kuliosw4815 when you provide any evidence to it, you can't just make up something like this and say we'll i heard a streamer said it, neither riot nor her managing agency said nothing about it?? And she posted a story yesterday??
10:10 simple answer,Morgana's design is like that in Lol because you wont see her face if they gave her a hood which makes her look like a blob of clothes if made that way... even if you take her hoodie and show her head it makes it still blob-like.They already know this and made her Lor counter part have a veil behind her which is more appealing because you see her as an art and not a model on a tabletop pov
one thing that would make sense, would be a animation of Morgana at the game start where she take out her cloak and reveal her wings. so it would be like she is getting ready to battle, so in Summoners rift when you playing her, that's her "fight clothes" but when she is just chilling in the woods, she uses the cloak. maybe they didn't wanted to change her silhouette that much since there are players used to that silhouette since 2009.
I know this is a hot take but i rlly love kayles design I think the fact that she looses armor is really cool I think that it shows her getting rid of the things that make her mortal because its like if im a human for the most part im going to be scared of death and im going to want to protect myself her shedding her armor is like her getting rid of the thing that makes mortals mortals yk I also like that she stays human looking cause it reminds us that she is not a god she is a person trying to pretend to be a god idk if i worded this wierdly but yeah
What if in the mmo they explore kayle back story more. Maybe the reason she’s so interested in being stronger and abandoning her mortal weakness is because when she was younger she used to be bullied and wished she could enact justice the way her mother would and after getting her wings and powers that dream came true but after her champion was killed it opened that wound the bullying had left hence her over the top reaction.
Personally i like the league design more than the lor design. The big-ass cloak and mask actually make her seem less human and more like a monster. I think that the dress fits way more, it just feels more human, also it gives me the vibe of hiding her wings in a way that doesn’t arouse suspicion.
I just think they have to make a new design for Morgana but also feel recognized because Morgana only has a Visual Update and not a proper Rework, is not about "I wanted to look like this" is more about, "this character still has to be recognized by only look at her" is a design method. But it works well. I like how fancy Morgana is. Also, his wing, like a long tail, is precious, and the fact that she shows her body works because, like Phanteon, she also shows humanity, walks like a mortal and looks like a mortal. But I also love the LoR design, Morgana in LoL is inspired by his old design, Morgana in LoR looks more like a Crow Witch like Morrigan from Dragon Age or Raven from the Teen Titans.
Morgana and Kayle are 2 of my favorite champions because my internal justice is extremely intense and I tend to be very all or nothing in everything I do processing of morality included (like kayle) but because of that ive corrected (possibly over corrected) by making it so that if something is justifiable under any circumstance I cant say its morally wrong (like theft, killing, or talking behind people’s backs) which leaves me pretty bare bones as far as processing life situations goes since if its not sa, abuse, or willful ignorance directed outwards I cant go “no thats bad”. Ive always liked morgana a lot because she feels like an embodiment of what I call “self sacrificial morality” (because I am a but delusional and believe that willingly sacrificing myself makes me an amazing person when in reality I just an not socially intelligent enough to be discerning. I did not get here out of compassion I got here out of necessity).
At 7:40, I personally believe that Morgana thinks Kayle deserves redemption, or at least needs saving from herself. This impression mainly comes from their shared voice lines. While these may not be considered canon, they show that Morgana wants to care for her sister, even telling Kayle that they are not, or shouldn’t be, enemies.
Morgana is my favourite champion ever - the first I ever played a decade ago, I even have a tattoo of her - and I think her LOR redesign is a fairly huge improvement. It always felt a lot more grounded in humanity. Though I think exposing skin can be a sign of humanity - scars, wrinkles, imperfections - it is not something that is really expressed in her visual design in LoL. So, I tend to preferred the more covered design of LOR.
I think the reflection of Kayle and Morgana in Garen and Sylas is really cool from a lore perspective. I just wish their visual designs and gameplay actually matched their lore.
I'm mixed on LoR design. I think her level one is solid, but her level two just has some weird visual choices with her clothes. I don't think either are a huge departure from her League design. Morg and Kayle really strike me as 'limited by medium'. They can never have truly interesting stories, and they can never change, because they are characters in a video game that has no story movement. Stuck in stasis, never to progress. I think their story could ultimately have a happy ending, but it will never have an ending instead. LoR produced a theoretical battle with Aatrox, with Kayle and Ryze, but Morg wasn't there. The Mithra in that story was drastically different than the Morg follower Mithra. Whenever LoR lore is brought up, I'm always slightly disappointed. Its lore is far from perfect, and I feel that a lot of 'lore' added through new cards is just added because 'X champion needs followers for this card set, those followers need lore blurbs' and we end up getting a lot of stuff that only just barely makes sense. Its not expanding the lore, its slowly strangling itself in a web of complicated theoretical characters and stories.
funny to think how i saw darkk mane's video like an hour ago, now i see this. the switch from haha AP garen to continous lore talk (which i enjoy just as much) is funny. in the same match too.
On her (and Kaylie’s) lore I do wish they made it a bit more debatable who was the good one. You’re right that right now Kayle is 100% in the wrong most of the time and is clearly more of an antagonist while Morgana is the sympathetic one. I do love their lore overall (and the slight twist that the dark emo sister is good vs the more angelic holy sister), but showing the pros and cons of each sisters viewpoint would add a lot more depth to their story now and going forward. As for her design I’m 50/50 on it. I LOVE her base LoR design with the more tattered look and veiled face. But I also like her dress and more prestige look in LoL as well just from a visual standpoint. Maybe they could do something similar to Kayle where she evolves over the course of the game?
I could write an entire essay about everything i love about her coven skin. It is truly perfection in my opinion and is one of my favorite skins of all time
@6:00 "IS IT WORTH IT? a gato! WAS IT WORTH IT?" Also, as for Morgana being in a dress, it makes sense to me that she would be in some form of dress if she's just keeping to the outskirts of Demacia to help people; armor isn't really needed. But I have to agree, a ballgown doesn't seem right.
I think her in a dress is pretty nice, she tries to use her wings as a part of her, but she still shapes them to what she wants them to be (a decoration to her). Maybe her current LoL in-game design could be a future design for her, like when she finally accepts her powers and finds piece with her experiences with her mother, that's when it would make sense for her to dress like that. But I see your point ^^
I like Kayle’s design because while I agree that it would make more sense for her to look less and less human as she ascends, I dont believe she, the greater than thou enforcer, would walk around with no armor in her base design. To me, her leveling up reads as her feeling more and more powerful and shedding her armor because she doesn’t need it. Also, her removing her helmet reads to me as “When I judge you, I want you to look into my godly eyes as you are slain.” Last thing, I dont think Kayle is evil in her stories. I think her theme is one of desperate misguidance. I dont remember if it was Nicky or Skyen who said it, but Kayle and Morgana are two sides of the same grief. They both struggle with abandonment of their mother, but where Morgana wants nothing to do with her mother, Kayle wants to be as close to her mother as possible. This is how Kayle processes her grief. It’s flawed and misguided, and she needs therapy, but I dont think it’s malevolent
it's also a good way to connect the sisters. Morgana, in the process of accepting humanity, becomes darker for it, developing dark attributes and her appearance becoming less human. Kayle, despite her rejection of humanity, is still bound by it, still feels the effects despite her attempts to "purify" herself and become more godly. even when fully ascended, she still appears human.
I love Morgana, love playing jg with her. I had a special connection with her because when my mom left I started playing her a shit ton. I also feel related to her.
I never thought that her reworked design was misleading or overly sexualized. I mean yes, the lor design fits her story and she could have another form, but that would be one model more to do for every skin she has and in rift she is in combat why it makes a bit sense that she would be in her "all out form". And now that you say her dress is a bit fancy, but I think it's tasteful enough. Personally like her. Also goth gf.
One argument I never understood is that she is dressed like an aristocrat, since the nobles from Demacia usually wear armour. If anything, she looks mid class to me, so more in the middle that still shows that she's powerful but not superior.
You could look at morgana's dress with a loose fitting gown as like a kil la kil style intention of clothing = restriction and by not wearing any armor and and open dress she's exposing her vulnerability to the world sort of thing but then you get into the whole flub of kayle's design where she sheds her armor as she ascends rather than becoming more armored and etc. etc.
I just hate how they totally make Morgana the good one and Kayle the bad one when they are supposed to balance each other. I feel like making her too inclined to forgive people, even when they absolutely don’t deserve it could be good but it would had maybe too much of a naive trait. Still, I don’t like the clear bias in favour of Morgana every time
Kayle should not get more armor as she ascends. Armor is for weak, vulnerable mortals. Gods do not need armor. Nor should she become this featureless abstraction. The last thing the guilty see before their divine punishment is the face of justice and her eyes that cast judgment upon them. THAT is who Kayle is. "Why is Morgana trying to be pretty? She's trying to appeal to the common mortal." Hello, the answer is right there. People are more accepting and welcoming of people that they think are attractive. They find them more trustworthy and approachable. Morgana putting effort into her appearance is a testament to the fact that she wants to connect with the mortals. It's the same reason that Kai'Sa tries to look pretty. Because Kai'Sa doesn't want to be seen as a monster. Unfortunately in Kai'Sa's case, it doesn't work, though. But none of this is "fan service without a purpose". It reveals that these characters crave acceptance from people and want to form a connection with them.
MORGANA REWORK P - Morgana heals herself and nearby allies when she stuns a target. Q - Shoot out a chain that after 1 second roots player. Can be cancelled if the player gets to far from the champion. W - Morgana Expands her wings, slowly losing health - Whilst wings are active morgana heals for %Magic DMG and Grants MS to self and nearby allies. E - Place a circle at target location dealing damage based on target missing health, Grows proportionally to the damage it deals and duration extends based on damage dealt. R - Morgana shoots out up to 3 Auto aimed Qs at nearby enemies (Hitting the same enemy multiple times stack, thee ability will always prio as many different champions as possible) Additionally morganas wings will become cut changing her W to an alternate W and keeping it active for 8 seconds. Alternate W - Morganas now slashed wings slowly heal over 8 seconds, this affect causes nearby enemies to take damage and allies to heal % damage done by morgana (When this affect ends morgana cleanses all debuffs I have been thinking of this rework for forever now as a morgana player and i think it fixes all of her core problems 100% If anyone has any thoughts on this id like to hear them.
"Morgana is always just- OW" Masterfully summarized. Absolutely perfect, spot on summary of morgana. Playing as her is OW, playing with her is OW, playing against her is OW. Morgana IS just OW. Lorewise she is interesting tho but gameplaywise she is just ow. P.S. I hate the fact you can ult, zhonyas and literally void the only weakspot you are designed with.
If she ults and zhonyas… walk out of it. That’s a weakspot. Dodging her hard cc is a weakspot. When she uses Q and E she is very limited in what she can do for the next ~10 seconds because her W and R don’t do much without her other moves used in tandem. Morgana is squishy and immobile. She pretty much always has sub 50% wr because if she misses her abilities she is heavily punished. Idk what you’re talking about when you say she lacks weakspots
I love Morgana. Great character, voicelines, fx, gameplay etc. and I love that she dresses fancy. It gives more opportunity to have cool fancy skins. Also, I wouldn't want to play a character in ugly drab clothing. Visuals are important to me.
Hearing you say the morgamna... SODA!!! Joke was crazy bc it's been a thing between my friends and I thought it was too obscure for anyone else to do it but then YOU did it you joke thief!!!!!
Morgana has always been one of my favourite designs, so if they changed her too much, I'd be pretty sad, I won't lie. I do agree with you tho that the sexy dress makes no sense with her lore, but damn, she looks so pretty >.
I wish when pretending to be a mortal Morgana wore a worn simple white dress with a dark cloak over it all that covered her wings (maybe even made her look like a hunchback) and covered her eyes (because justice is blind). BUT if you looked close enough you could see the purple light emanating from her eyes, hence why she needs to cloak hood. Also regarding the more divine design, as much as Morgana hates it, at the end of the day she IS divine, so to an extent she should show it
I loved the video and it was a really interesting point of view! I disagree with your clothing points, precisely because she's more human than her sister. She knows pain, sorrow, and because of that, she values nice things, too. Since everything is suffering, why wouldn't she at least dress nicely since she's containing all of that for the sake of humanity? If I was in her place, I'd be like "Yeah... I want a nice dress, I deserve at least that". It's extremely important to remember that even though she isn't human, she portrays herself as one, or at least, as one that can come down with other humans so that they can, too, see humanity in her. Remember: Morgana is more human than ascended, even if she isn't human at all, she feels like one. She's not a Necromancer nor a dark witch who seeks dark truths and loves to cause suffering. She's a woman. She is doing her best to make humans feel comfortable with her, ergo; nice dress. Aside from that, I enjoyed the talk just as usual!
Morgana is one of those champions i really love but never play. Design wise she is not super interesting but not offensively bad either. Her gameplay is rather simple and maybe boring at times but her ult is genuinely my favorite ult in the game i so love it. Also tankier builds on her are really fun.
I know it goes against her character (that being she is forcing herself to a mortal level lest to not entertain her celestial power), but gameplay wise I would like to see her have a "level up" system similar to Kayle, like the one in LoR on the PC version of LoL. One because hot take: I like Kayle's gameplay lol, and two I would like to see how that would translate. (Plus a biblically accurate version of Retribution like Mihira would be HARD AS ROCKS to see lmao).
It is quite fitting that Kayle, who is effectively Demacia's patron deity, also suffers from and is held back by the same binary morality in her storytelling as the city that honors her.
I agree that League's Morgana's sumptious dress doesn't really make sense, but one thing I DO like about it is that her back is fully exposed. That sense of vulnerability is really relevant to her character and the theme of forgiveness imo, but that detail is lost in the sex appeal of the design.
Morgana in LoR looks the way Morrigan from DAO (and ig other DA titles) should have looked, like girl u look hot but u live in the woods, ur gonna get poison ivy cover up
I like both of Morgana's design though I would agree that LoR is better. What I see in the LoL design is that see was raised in old Demacia where I bet some people wore fancy clothing after a couple of years and Morgana copied them to show she is more human and wants to fit in with them, plus my guess with showing skin is to counter act her sister who wears armor everywhere so she shows skins to not be afraid for she isn't hiding anything and showing others she is fragile like all the other mortals.
LoR Morgana is amazing, gameplay wise and art design wise, she just is leagues better than her LoL counterpart. Base skin is so amazing but I will say coven morgana is so fucking cool with the owl form and the level up animation
I adore Morgana's dress and the wings being a fluffy cloak, she looks completely incredible. As for kayle being the unambiguously evil sister, I wish people would stop encouraging riot to both sides every issue. Both sides are in the wrong in piltover and zaun is a horrible take, and both sides are flawed is a horrible take with Kayle and Morgana when one of them is the embodiment of state sanctioned violence and a punitive justice system, while the other one is enforcing rules from within the same level as the rest of the community and focusing on rehabilitative justice, understanding of pain and consequence, and redemption. MAYBE KAYLE (punitive state violence) IS JUST BAD IDK. But I don't think riot hq realises how radical these two's themes are because if they did they'd throw a big steaming lump of 'both sides' down on their heads in no time at all.
My ONLY issue with the level 1 Morgana art in LoR... is that only 2 wings are visible. Where are her upper wings? Her main two wings look huge, but they are the only ones you can see...
I think Kayle design can be explained as: while she is low level, she is humanly so she needs armor to protect herself and when she levels up she becomes aspect powers so she doesnt need armor. But i rather not side with her anyway 😒.
I'm just like Morgana, but instead of being a fallen angel I have chronic anxiety

My favourite series from NickyBoi "Playing every champ in Jungle"
thing about Morgana's LoR level up is the way it is a mirror of how Kayle's level up is. Both sisters are both divine and mortal. But then you have Kayle, who's trying to be only divine but levels up and loses her helmet so looks more mortal. Then Morgana is trying to be just mortal, but in her level up she spreads her wings and thus looks more divine. They mirror each other, and also kind of says that to reach their full power they have to use both halves of their nature.
Not sure if that was the intention from the devs, but it totally works for me that way.
Not wearing helmet is actually more of divine. Mortals need armor to cover themselves, the no-helmey means less armor needed = more divine
For me, frankly Morgana and Kayle have one of the best Lore of all LoL
And I would love, maybe not an animated series like “Arcane” but just a short trilogy depicting the stories of the sisters in animation

Morgana is one of my favorites. I know her design seems a bit odd for her current narrative, but I just feel good strutting into lane in a fancy dress ready to serve hard cc. I do wish her skins had a bit more variety though. They’re always “what if morgana wore a fancy dress again?”
maybe they need to take her Veiled lady concept art look and make it into a skin.
For some reason, I never once thought that Morgana was evil. Even with the OG. Her dialogue always suggested immense pain and anguish. Of course, when Kayle and Morgana's reworks came out, I felt even more justified with feeling that Morgana wasn't the evil twin. And maybe one of the reasons why she exposes her skin is to show her fragility with accepting her mortality. Humans are fragile creatures after all, and what better way to show our fragility than by exposing our skin? She's mostly exposed on her back where her chained wings are and her chest where her heart is. As for the leg, well, she needs to be mobile right? Having a slit in her dress gives her that mobility for combat. Of course, this is all just my interpretation. I've always loved Morgana. She was the third champion I bought 7+ years ago.
That "Puss in Boots" reference was 10/10
“He didn’t see me” grey screen lmao Nicky never change
I really like what they did in lor but I think that her "being sexy" and having fancy clothes makes also sense. She enjoys the human part of her body after all
Morgana's LoR update is so good. Especially adding in the followers for her to interact with and talk to, gives her the chance to talk and show who she is.
Much like LoR Nautilus suddenly becomes grumpy grampa to the sea creatures.
and they were interesting characters in their own right. LoR does way to good a job. I now care more about many supporting non-champions that I do about mot champions.
@@keithharper32 Yeah. The newest update to Lux for example in the dream/nightmare expansion showing off her vision of a perfect dream Demacia or how in her dreams she pictures herself as a kind mentor to a scared young mage - and not some conquering hero - show off her personality really well too.
Morgana is a funny one for me because, on the one hand, I love her. I started playing league within the last five or so years and I liked Morg cause she was pretty and I loved the animations of her dragging, feathery dress. On the other hand, when I first learned about her lore I definitely felt like there was a disconnect. I do entirely agree that LoR Morgana is the superior creature, though, to almost no-ones' surprise.
Morgana walks among and experiences with the mortals, wearing unrevealing clothes, hedonism, these are darker human natures she also embraces.
Morgana has been one of my favourite characters for a while, I love the compassionate justice design theme and whilst I agree her design is not the most interesting I love that she just oozes class and power. Also her skins are amazing Coven was my first legendary skin
Real talk, I know Morg has a legendary already, but give her one that's her LoR design until she ults. Silhouette be damned, the redesign is beautiful
Morgana is a champ who looks cool, but the lore and her motives are way better
Morgana was one of the first champs I picked up in league, and she's still one of my favorites (alongside Kayle). I wish her LoR lore carried more into League, but I love both designs and her story. She's such a great antithesis to Kayle.
I feel the difference between Morg and Kayle was supposed to the method of how judgement is passed.
Kayle is judgement applied consistently, unbending. Regardless your circumstances for committing whatever crime, you get the same punishment as someone else - and that punishment will more-or-less fit the crime. She's not gonna execute bread-stealing orphans. She's going to give them the same sentence as any other bread thief, which is probably a fine, community service or a short stay in prison. She's eschewing contextual influence as she sees it as a symptom of mortality, and unbefitting of her divine status. She doesn't consider redemption specifically, because she thinks justice is supposed to be punitive. You commit a wrongdoing, you get justice'd. At least, for crimes where something like community service (which, to me, feels like a punishment meant to be redemptive?) isn't an acceptable punishment.
Conversly, Morg is supposed to be justice informed by context and emotion. Before she passes judgement and punishment, she asks "Why?" This leads to people getting longer or shorter sentences based on the perceived harm they've caused or felt. Morg probably wouldn't lay any punishment on our starving bread-stealing orphans from earlier, but she may apply overly harsh judgement on people who are assholes, reasoning that she should suffer more because of the suffering they've inflicted (even if said suffering is not technically a moral or legal crime). That suffering can be abated should the wrongdoer recant and seek redemption, because punitive justice doesn't make people better.
Kayle's virtue is that she's consistent and reliable, unswayed and incorruptible. But she's also blind, unempathetic and supports strictly punitive justice.
Morg's virtue is that she's compassionate and willing to listen. But she's prone to under- or overreaction based on who has her ear or heart, and thinks torture is okay is the person is a shithead.
They're supposed to work together to account for each other's flaws and serve proper justice, and the tragedy of their story comes from being unable to due to different feeling about their circumstances.
Did it come across this way? Ummm...
Based
The “He didn’t see me” cut to death cam was unfairly funny
"Nithin has become a professional gaslighter" has to be the most DarkkMane thing to have ever been put in a sentence.
Ah morgana, the prettiest sister. No joke every skin she got post rework has been quite enjoyable.... unlike her petulant holy murderer sister.
To me the dress kinda do fits for her as a way to represent that she embraces her human side on a more carefree way. Ofc the LoR design is prettier too, i think both do a good job to convey who Morgana is as a character. Speaking of, i do really enjoy her personality, voicelines and motives of a more fair and square compassionate judgement upon others, one can't help but sympathyze more with her. I also thank her for giving sylas the development he needed in mageseeker.
Also heehoo next week is F U N N E D O G
"True grace is beautiful in its imperfection, honest in its emotion, freed by its own frailty." This is the reason I like Morgana's Character & Personality, I have always been in the mindset to praise faults that are harmless, its fun & enjoyable, but to go a bit deeper, to Strive for perfection is to never achieve it, since there is no objective perfection, to be humble, to seek to understand and correct mistakes you have made, be them intentional or not, not to better than those around you, but to be better than you once were, because what most people end up wanting in life is happiness, which unlike perfection, is obtainable, it is not something you can obtain forever, but something that you can achieve, lose and regain with effort and understanding
Honestly Morgana forgoing her angelic armor for chains and a dress seems fine to me, I actually don't have any real issue with that. Witches have always had a large variety of aesthetics and I really don't see the "big titty goth gf", I think at worst one of those Splash arts had so little waist for no reason. I see a dark witch with a simple design.
Though we really should have the LoR stuff as a costume at least. That shit is fire. And really I think the juxtaposition of her being the veiled lady for appearances with strangers given her reputation versus her true self she shows to her followers and those she trusts just makes sense. If Riot actually cared a lot about the pain angle she'd look way more like a character from Hellraiser, and do we actually want to be playing Pinhead styled Morgana? I feel a lot of people are just into the simple sexy dark witch vibes even if there's room to bring more lore into it.
Morgana in the jungle and he starts with Q
certainly a choice
12:40 Yeah, can't say I like that design, it's cool by itself, but it makes her somehow look less human than Kayle, she looks like she's a spirit, not an actual "human being"
Oh nice, I've been looking forward to this video since Nithin's stream! :D It's cool to see the other perspective on this match.
You know what isn't cool? The fact that Morgana's voice actress actually died in a police shoot out last week. I'm sure you all saw the news. RIP queen 🙏
Wtf?? Her voice actress is Erica Lindbeck also voices Zoe and Taliyah and she isn't dead
@@pasta1998 What? But Darkk Mane said so, and he's never lied to us before. I think you're just trying to spread misinformation which is not good :(
@KingOfHarems she literally posted an Instagram story yesterday I think it's still up lol when did he say that??
@@pasta1998 I heard the news from Dark Mann, please shows some solidarity
@kuliosw4815 when you provide any evidence to it, you can't just make up something like this and say we'll i heard a streamer said it, neither riot nor her managing agency said nothing about it?? And she posted a story yesterday??
4:00 he didnt see me
*cut to greyscreen*
These make my work week. Thanks Nicky!
not me playing kayle while listening to this in the background lmao
Noice darkkmane cameo, even though he streamed this last week
YES
This is a NO GAMEPLAY zone. There will be no MOVING, no SPELL EFFECTS, no INTERACTION of ANY KIND beyond this point
10:10 simple answer,Morgana's design is like that in Lol because you wont see her face if they gave her a hood which makes her look like a blob of clothes if made that way... even if you take her hoodie and show her head it makes it still blob-like.They already know this and made her Lor counter part have a veil behind her which is more appealing because you see her as an art and not a model on a tabletop pov
one thing that would make sense, would be a animation of Morgana at the game start where she take out her cloak and reveal her wings. so it would be like she is getting ready to battle, so in Summoners rift when you playing her, that's her "fight clothes" but when she is just chilling in the woods, she uses the cloak.
maybe they didn't wanted to change her silhouette that much since there are players used to that silhouette since 2009.
I know this is a hot take but i rlly love kayles design I think the fact that she looses armor is really cool I think that it shows her getting rid of the things that make her mortal because its like if im a human for the most part im going to be scared of death and im going to want to protect myself her shedding her armor is like her getting rid of the thing that makes mortals mortals yk I also like that she stays human looking cause it reminds us that she is not a god she is a person trying to pretend to be a god idk if i worded this wierdly but yeah
What if in the mmo they explore kayle back story more. Maybe the reason she’s so interested in being stronger and abandoning her mortal weakness is because when she was younger she used to be bullied and wished she could enact justice the way her mother would and after getting her wings and powers that dream came true but after her champion was killed it opened that wound the bullying had left hence her over the top reaction.
11:39 Ezreal’s message showed up in Darkmane’s AP Garen video too! This game was the crossover I never expected but I love so much
The interactions between the sisters is awesome in league and in LoR
Personally i like the league design more than the lor design. The big-ass cloak and mask actually make her seem less human and more like a monster. I think that the dress fits way more, it just feels more human, also it gives me the vibe of hiding her wings in a way that doesn’t arouse suspicion.
plus she attracts not only players but followers with 2 big reasons in her dress
5:29: "Kayle starts indiscriminately rainin-BUFF"
Across all the different videos I've seen from the channel, I'm convinced I should play LoR as a LoL lore enjoyer
I just think they have to make a new design for Morgana but also feel recognized because Morgana only has a Visual Update and not a proper Rework, is not about "I wanted to look like this" is more about, "this character still has to be recognized by only look at her" is a design method. But it works well. I like how fancy Morgana is. Also, his wing, like a long tail, is precious, and the fact that she shows her body works because, like Phanteon, she also shows humanity, walks like a mortal and looks like a mortal.
But I also love the LoR design, Morgana in LoL is inspired by his old design, Morgana in LoR looks more like a Crow Witch like Morrigan from Dragon Age or Raven from the Teen Titans.
I'd be more accepting of their lore if it didn't mirror the second most cliche, and recent, anime trope: Heaven is evil, Hell is misunderstood.
Morgana and Kayle are 2 of my favorite champions because my internal justice is extremely intense and I tend to be very all or nothing in everything I do processing of morality included (like kayle) but because of that ive corrected (possibly over corrected) by making it so that if something is justifiable under any circumstance I cant say its morally wrong (like theft, killing, or talking behind people’s backs) which leaves me pretty bare bones as far as processing life situations goes since if its not sa, abuse, or willful ignorance directed outwards I cant go “no thats bad”. Ive always liked morgana a lot because she feels like an embodiment of what I call “self sacrificial morality” (because I am a but delusional and believe that willingly sacrificing myself makes me an amazing person when in reality I just an not socially intelligent enough to be discerning. I did not get here out of compassion I got here out of necessity).
At 7:40, I personally believe that Morgana thinks Kayle deserves redemption, or at least needs saving from herself. This impression mainly comes from their shared voice lines. While these may not be considered canon, they show that Morgana wants to care for her sister, even telling Kayle that they are not, or shouldn’t be, enemies.
Oh my goodness GATO
Morgana is my favourite champion ever - the first I ever played a decade ago, I even have a tattoo of her - and I think her LOR redesign is a fairly huge improvement. It always felt a lot more grounded in humanity. Though I think exposing skin can be a sign of humanity - scars, wrinkles, imperfections - it is not something that is really expressed in her visual design in LoL. So, I tend to preferred the more covered design of LOR.
I think the reflection of Kayle and Morgana in Garen and Sylas is really cool from a lore perspective. I just wish their visual designs and gameplay actually matched their lore.
I'm mixed on LoR design. I think her level one is solid, but her level two just has some weird visual choices with her clothes. I don't think either are a huge departure from her League design. Morg and Kayle really strike me as 'limited by medium'. They can never have truly interesting stories, and they can never change, because they are characters in a video game that has no story movement. Stuck in stasis, never to progress. I think their story could ultimately have a happy ending, but it will never have an ending instead. LoR produced a theoretical battle with Aatrox, with Kayle and Ryze, but Morg wasn't there. The Mithra in that story was drastically different than the Morg follower Mithra.
Whenever LoR lore is brought up, I'm always slightly disappointed. Its lore is far from perfect, and I feel that a lot of 'lore' added through new cards is just added because 'X champion needs followers for this card set, those followers need lore blurbs' and we end up getting a lot of stuff that only just barely makes sense. Its not expanding the lore, its slowly strangling itself in a web of complicated theoretical characters and stories.
funny to think how i saw darkk mane's video like an hour ago, now i see this. the switch from haha AP garen to continous lore talk (which i enjoy just as much) is funny. in the same match too.
On her (and Kaylie’s) lore I do wish they made it a bit more debatable who was the good one. You’re right that right now Kayle is 100% in the wrong most of the time and is clearly more of an antagonist while Morgana is the sympathetic one. I do love their lore overall (and the slight twist that the dark emo sister is good vs the more angelic holy sister), but showing the pros and cons of each sisters viewpoint would add a lot more depth to their story now and going forward.
As for her design I’m 50/50 on it. I LOVE her base LoR design with the more tattered look and veiled face. But I also like her dress and more prestige look in LoL as well just from a visual standpoint. Maybe they could do something similar to Kayle where she evolves over the course of the game?
I could write an entire essay about everything i love about her coven skin. It is truly perfection in my opinion and is one of my favorite skins of all time
@6:00 "IS IT WORTH IT? a gato! WAS IT WORTH IT?"
Also, as for Morgana being in a dress, it makes sense to me that she would be in some form of dress if she's just keeping to the outskirts of Demacia to help people; armor isn't really needed. But I have to agree, a ballgown doesn't seem right.
I think her in a dress is pretty nice, she tries to use her wings as a part of her, but she still shapes them to what she wants them to be (a decoration to her). Maybe her current LoL in-game design could be a future design for her, like when she finally accepts her powers and finds piece with her experiences with her mother, that's when it would make sense for her to dress like that. But I see your point ^^
I like Kayle’s design because while I agree that it would make more sense for her to look less and less human as she ascends, I dont believe she, the greater than thou enforcer, would walk around with no armor in her base design. To me, her leveling up reads as her feeling more and more powerful and shedding her armor because she doesn’t need it. Also, her removing her helmet reads to me as “When I judge you, I want you to look into my godly eyes as you are slain.”
Last thing, I dont think Kayle is evil in her stories. I think her theme is one of desperate misguidance. I dont remember if it was Nicky or Skyen who said it, but Kayle and Morgana are two sides of the same grief. They both struggle with abandonment of their mother, but where Morgana wants nothing to do with her mother, Kayle wants to be as close to her mother as possible. This is how Kayle processes her grief. It’s flawed and misguided, and she needs therapy, but I dont think it’s malevolent
it's also a good way to connect the sisters. Morgana, in the process of accepting humanity, becomes darker for it, developing dark attributes and her appearance becoming less human. Kayle, despite her rejection of humanity, is still bound by it, still feels the effects despite her attempts to "purify" herself and become more godly. even when fully ascended, she still appears human.
I love Morgana, love playing jg with her. I had a special connection with her because when my mom left I started playing her a shit ton. I also feel related to her.
When was the last time Targon had a champion? Where are my hod warriors, only Phanteon feels like he has any presence in the story.
Love how the Rengar's name says "North American Trash" lol
I never thought that her reworked design was misleading or overly sexualized. I mean yes, the lor design fits her story and she could have another form, but that would be one model more to do for every skin she has and in rift she is in combat why it makes a bit sense that she would be in her "all out form". And now that you say her dress is a bit fancy, but I think it's tasteful enough. Personally like her. Also goth gf.
One argument I never understood is that she is dressed like an aristocrat, since the nobles from Demacia usually wear armour. If anything, she looks mid class to me, so more in the middle that still shows that she's powerful but not superior.
I'm just like Morgana, but instead of being a fallen angel my father used to use me for tackle practice before his rugby matches.
You could look at morgana's dress with a loose fitting gown as like a kil la kil style intention of clothing = restriction and by not wearing any armor and and open dress she's exposing her vulnerability to the world sort of thing but then you get into the whole flub of kayle's design where she sheds her armor as she ascends rather than becoming more armored and etc. etc.
I just hate how they totally make Morgana the good one and Kayle the bad one when they are supposed to balance each other. I feel like making her too inclined to forgive people, even when they absolutely don’t deserve it could be good but it would had maybe too much of a naive trait. Still, I don’t like the clear bias in favour of Morgana every time
Kayle should not get more armor as she ascends. Armor is for weak, vulnerable mortals. Gods do not need armor. Nor should she become this featureless abstraction. The last thing the guilty see before their divine punishment is the face of justice and her eyes that cast judgment upon them. THAT is who Kayle is.
"Why is Morgana trying to be pretty? She's trying to appeal to the common mortal." Hello, the answer is right there. People are more accepting and welcoming of people that they think are attractive. They find them more trustworthy and approachable. Morgana putting effort into her appearance is a testament to the fact that she wants to connect with the mortals.
It's the same reason that Kai'Sa tries to look pretty. Because Kai'Sa doesn't want to be seen as a monster. Unfortunately in Kai'Sa's case, it doesn't work, though.
But none of this is "fan service without a purpose". It reveals that these characters crave acceptance from people and want to form a connection with them.
So true, Idk how people dont understand such obvious things
Funny, I have only ever heard Kayle being called the evil sister.
MORGANA REWORK
P - Morgana heals herself and nearby allies when she stuns a target.
Q - Shoot out a chain that after 1 second roots player. Can be cancelled if the player gets to far from the champion.
W - Morgana Expands her wings, slowly losing health - Whilst wings are active morgana heals for %Magic DMG and Grants MS to self and nearby allies.
E - Place a circle at target location dealing damage based on target missing health, Grows proportionally to the damage it deals and duration extends based on damage dealt.
R - Morgana shoots out up to 3 Auto aimed Qs at nearby enemies (Hitting the same enemy multiple times stack, thee ability will always prio as many different champions as possible) Additionally morganas wings will become cut changing her W to an alternate W and keeping it active for 8 seconds.
Alternate W - Morganas now slashed wings slowly heal over 8 seconds, this affect causes nearby enemies to take damage and allies to heal % damage done by morgana (When this affect ends morgana cleanses all debuffs
I have been thinking of this rework for forever now as a morgana player and i think it fixes all of her core problems 100%
If anyone has any thoughts on this id like to hear them.
"Morgana is always just- OW" Masterfully summarized. Absolutely perfect, spot on summary of morgana. Playing as her is OW, playing with her is OW, playing against her is OW. Morgana IS just OW. Lorewise she is interesting tho but gameplaywise she is just ow. P.S. I hate the fact you can ult, zhonyas and literally void the only weakspot you are designed with.
If she ults and zhonyas… walk out of it. That’s a weakspot. Dodging her hard cc is a weakspot. When she uses Q and E she is very limited in what she can do for the next ~10 seconds because her W and R don’t do much without her other moves used in tandem. Morgana is squishy and immobile. She pretty much always has sub 50% wr because if she misses her abilities she is heavily punished. Idk what you’re talking about when you say she lacks weakspots
I love Morgana. Great character, voicelines, fx, gameplay etc. and I love that she dresses fancy. It gives more opportunity to have cool fancy skins. Also, I wouldn't want to play a character in ugly drab clothing. Visuals are important to me.
Hearing you say the morgamna... SODA!!! Joke was crazy bc it's been a thing between my friends and I thought it was too obscure for anyone else to do it but then YOU did it you joke thief!!!!!
I had never seen that concept art of Morgana wielding her sword and
god damn
I'm not straight but still smash
Morgana has always been one of my favourite designs, so if they changed her too much, I'd be pretty sad, I won't lie.
I do agree with you tho that the sexy dress makes no sense with her lore, but damn, she looks so pretty >.
I wish when pretending to be a mortal Morgana wore a worn simple white dress with a dark cloak over it all that covered her wings (maybe even made her look like a hunchback) and covered her eyes (because justice is blind). BUT if you looked close enough you could see the purple light emanating from her eyes, hence why she needs to cloak hood.
Also regarding the more divine design, as much as Morgana hates it, at the end of the day she IS divine, so to an extent she should show it
I cannot believe I just watched darkk mane's video and did not notice this
I think the Morg skin from Star Nemesis is also supposed to give you Ragyu from Kill la Kill vibes too.
I loved the video and it was a really interesting point of view!
I disagree with your clothing points, precisely because she's more human than her sister.
She knows pain, sorrow, and because of that, she values nice things, too. Since everything is suffering, why wouldn't she at least dress nicely since she's containing all of that for the sake of humanity?
If I was in her place, I'd be like "Yeah... I want a nice dress, I deserve at least that".
It's extremely important to remember that even though she isn't human, she portrays herself as one, or at least, as one that can come down with other humans so that they can, too, see humanity in her.
Remember: Morgana is more human than ascended, even if she isn't human at all, she feels like one.
She's not a Necromancer nor a dark witch who seeks dark truths and loves to cause suffering.
She's a woman.
She is doing her best to make humans feel comfortable with her, ergo; nice dress.
Aside from that, I enjoyed the talk just as usual!
"I liked her mainly because I like purple" REAL
AP Garen Lesson 11: Never ever EVER give up
Nithin jumpscare.
what I learn from this video is that Morgana is a fallen angel, half aspect hal- OH MY GOD GATTO!!!
I WISH we could play as LoR Morgana concept art!!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO COOL
Hey I just watched that Darkk Mane AP Garen video today didn't even realize you were on the other team in that game.
I miss the old Kayle, and would like it if Morgana had the veil redesign. And she turns more like her mother during her ult.
Imagine if for this episode Nicky played LoR
Morgana is one of those champions i really love but never play. Design wise she is not super interesting but not offensively bad either. Her gameplay is rather simple and maybe boring at times but her ult is genuinely my favorite ult in the game i so love it. Also tankier builds on her are really fun.
5:30
"just indescrimBUFFnently"
did anyone else here this? wat? XD
Watched this whole video while rooted by morgana
I know it goes against her character (that being she is forcing herself to a mortal level lest to not entertain her celestial power), but gameplay wise I would like to see her have a "level up" system similar to Kayle, like the one in LoR on the PC version of LoL. One because hot take: I like Kayle's gameplay lol, and two I would like to see how that would translate. (Plus a biblically accurate version of Retribution like Mihira would be HARD AS ROCKS to see lmao).
Got into Morgana Jungle recently, I quite like it :D
It is quite fitting that Kayle, who is effectively Demacia's patron deity, also suffers from and is held back by the same binary morality in her storytelling as the city that honors her.
I agree that League's Morgana's sumptious dress doesn't really make sense, but one thing I DO like about it is that her back is fully exposed. That sense of vulnerability is really relevant to her character and the theme of forgiveness imo, but that detail is lost in the sex appeal of the design.
Morgana in LoR looks the way Morrigan from DAO (and ig other DA titles) should have looked, like girl u look hot but u live in the woods, ur gonna get poison ivy cover up
I like both of Morgana's design though I would agree that LoR is better. What I see in the LoL design is that see was raised in old Demacia where I bet some people wore fancy clothing after a couple of years and Morgana copied them to show she is more human and wants to fit in with them, plus my guess with showing skin is to counter act her sister who wears armor everywhere so she shows skins to not be afraid for she isn't hiding anything and showing others she is fragile like all the other mortals.
15% rant about fanservice 15% loredump 70% gato
The whole video
Farm farm farm farm farm farm farm farm farm Morgana 😅
I REEEEALY want a veiled lady Morgana skin...
LoR Morgana is amazing, gameplay wise and art design wise, she just is leagues better than her LoL counterpart. Base skin is so amazing but I will say coven morgana is so fucking cool with the owl form and the level up animation
I adore Morgana's dress and the wings being a fluffy cloak, she looks completely incredible. As for kayle being the unambiguously evil sister, I wish people would stop encouraging riot to both sides every issue. Both sides are in the wrong in piltover and zaun is a horrible take, and both sides are flawed is a horrible take with Kayle and Morgana when one of them is the embodiment of state sanctioned violence and a punitive justice system, while the other one is enforcing rules from within the same level as the rest of the community and focusing on rehabilitative justice, understanding of pain and consequence, and redemption. MAYBE KAYLE (punitive state violence) IS JUST BAD IDK. But I don't think riot hq realises how radical these two's themes are because if they did they'd throw a big steaming lump of 'both sides' down on their heads in no time at all.
I like both arts from LOR. Level 1 is the clear superior one, and is thankfully the one form she stays most of the time.
LOOKIN GOOD JOKER
My ONLY issue with the level 1 Morgana art in LoR... is that only 2 wings are visible. Where are her upper wings? Her main two wings look huge, but they are the only ones you can see...
I think Kayle design can be explained as: while she is low level, she is humanly so she needs armor to protect herself and when she levels up she becomes aspect powers so she doesnt need armor.
But i rather not side with her anyway 😒.
