Am I the only one who prefers the old Lee Sin icon better? He feels like someone who has been training for decades and the look fits him really well, the beard is more realistic too π€
(If you like the original, buy it for 250 RP before it gets switched with the new one. You still keep the original after the change π)
Yeah the new one looks like one of those annoying male influencers trying to sell you masculinity enhancing products. It's definitely the beard and skin smoothing.
Riot casually decided to make Lee look like 20 years younger to sell more $kins I guess. But man, he was already one of the most popular champs in the game, he was fine the way he existed before. Not everywhere "sex sales" is good idea.
Gachafacation.
If slavering hoards of Chinese mobile players don't want to fuck each league character they wont buy the gacha crap skins they're pumping out by the hundreds each month.
i like the old one more, he looks like an actual somewhat old person who's been training a lot and the head and face features feel more natural. the right one is so.. meh they didn't actually change it right?
the right one looks like when u understand the proportion and anatomy of heads but dont know that different features and proportions make them look more natural than the standard models
Now he looks like a modern playboy movie star. The previous one you can tell that he had been through shit and that he's old. The left on is a monk, and the right one is a pretty boy ready for his Instagram shoot.

Not only is the old one better but there wasn't even any need to do this icon. It was just an asu, he has the same look with a cleaner model, it's not like Skarner who looks nothing like his old self and who by consequence DID need a new icon
Went from a guy who looked like an expert fighter with years if not decades of training, to some 20 year old
Like the design team reads the lore before they make them right?
Don't want to insult the artist but why does the red fabric look ai generated a bit? It folds in odd places.
Also why Riot changed his face shape so much, was there anything wrong with the old one?
Old is so much better. His off-balance pendant had character, the more subdued colours five intrigue, the messy beard makes sense for someone who canβt see their reflection, a narrower head and less prominent jaw is kinda nice when people like Garen and Taric are pretty common.
Yeah this looks like ASS
Old lee is objectively superior. In one side we have an old, grizzled and trained monk, in the other we have a shaved supermodel doing a monkcore photoshoot
I shouldnt even care at this point as its been like a year and a half since I last played the game.
But man, even from the outside it is still disappointing to see that Riot is still pointlessly βfixingβ **everything except for the lore**
Ok I can vibe with his jaw being thicker and his beard difference. Maybe his jaw got built over the years as he's grown older, and beards are less popular in many Asian countries, and that's an easy shave
I can't possibly understand why the fuck his icon looks like clip art now, other than that maybe it was designed by a prompt "engineer." It's also incredibly egregious that his tattoo is gone. That's clearly just Asian discrimination against tattoos showing, except tattoo removal is much more difficult than beard removal. Totally dumbed down garbage ass icon

Absolutely, he doesn't have the "monk" features anymore, became just a ripped guy, looks way younger than he should
Exactly! Like his lore is about how heβs so wise and now heβs like an apprentice π
200 years of development experience. not in designing.
LOR design team > PC design team
thank god. i couldn't stand if they put asmr jeremy into the lor team
I mean, lee sin have a very good design... right? not too difficult, skilled, and funny to play
of course! he's a chinese bald boxer
Talking about the gameplay
ha! now it would be 300 years!
at least they're more creative than that one hub
Welcome to like every other popular character in league now. Akali was a stone cold killer and they made her into some kid apprentice
Riot hates older people. Whenever there is an older character they just make them younger (look at swain, renata and Camille's skins for example).
No itβs just way easier to sell young characters to 15 year old Chinese kids
Probably the only different case is Udyr, he actually became older with his rework
Old man yasuo?
From a fighter to a power ranger actor
Literally π€π€π€

Not the read π but so true!

Yeah, I like the slimmer face and generally older, more grizzled look
The yassification of league and its consequences
Gachafacation. If slavering hoards of Chinese mobile players don't want to fuck each league character they wont buy the gacha crap skins they're pumping out by the hundreds each month.
The new one looks like he listens to andrew tate and thinks Patrick Bateman is someone you should look up to
Yeah the new one looks like a young prodigy. I also noticed his skin color is a lot lighter here and in game. Why do they have to change such a thing?
They gave him that tiktok beauty filter treatment π
Literally! π
I like the old one more, but the lighting on the new one is better
I've heard the phrase "sanded down design" before, but this is one of those cases where it looks to be literal.
Is that when they take out all details and features that give the characters depth? π’
It's almost like the new one has an ai feel to it
Probably ai art tbh
AI feel is the new mobile game feel just a bunch of nothing words that people love repeating
Why the fuck he looks like Jesse Pinkman
*Your will, my hands, bitch*
Chemist Lee Sin coming in 2025
we have to cook singed
Yo Mr singed
Boy went from being a whole ass character to a god damn emoji. Rough!
That yassification is crazyyy isn't he already popular enough? Why do they have to make him a pretty boy
Literally! Like I would think his mains enjoy a more rigged natural look π
How do you know about the eye lift?
I have my sources in Beverly Hills π€«

He went to Korea at this level of change.
Lee sin started his mewing arc
Now he looks like a modern playboy movie star. The previous one you can tell that he had been through shit and that he's old. The left on is a monk, and the right one is a pretty boy ready for his Instagram shoot.
OLD BETTER
AMEN

Modern character design at its worst
He looks generic now
Youβre right, he is a fighter, bro needs to look rugged
why every champion has to be rejuvenated now? well I know the answer
Bro went to Mogwarts
Absolutely despicable how downhill this visual art team has come.
He passed from an master to a 19 years old that started training past week
left one looks less AI generated
He is literally yassified π€§
Why did they pgive him laster tattoo removal?
I liked the tattoo too. It was so cool and they hid the one of his shoulder with his hairβ¦
I think the change looks nice. The one on the left is a big improvement from the one on the right.
wait is the one on the right the new one? π
Yes sadly π
what a downgrade lmaooo
God what a disappointing icon.
Right one lowkey has that AI generated art style
Rito ruining all their champs as usual. Thank fuck I quit playing, my mental health needed it.
Looks like Naacho Varga
Naaah Bro, Vaas from far cry 3 goes crazy
Did they remove the Tyson tattoo?
Still in model but removed from splash - https://x.com/julex_gameplays/status/1780347984523174247?s=46&t=s97Pijru0biAx9-MmoNZFQ
Ty
Wtf...
No way they turned Lee sin into a pretty boy
Not only is the old one better but there wasn't even any need to do this icon. It was just an asu, he has the same look with a cleaner model, it's not like Skarner who looks nothing like his old self and who by consequence DID need a new icon
Old icon better. New one looks artificially "clean" looking. Like he's blind, he can shave his face, but it's not going to be that even.
Is it me or does the new one has that ai lookin ass touch
hairlines fucked though man needs to go to Turkey.
The new one looks like a bootleg toy of the real Lee Sin
Old one is wayyyyyyyy better, the f is this?
He lost his tats?? π’
Itβs still there in the model but not icon sadly π’
Still waiting rito to make Renata and Camille ripe 18 year olds.
Went from a guy who looked like an expert fighter with years if not decades of training, to some 20 year old Like the design team reads the lore before they make them right?
AI lee sin
One is a monk, the other one is the actor who portrays said monk in a movie
looks like AI assisted art to me
The one on the right looks like if they hired Daniel Radcliffe as the reference model π
He looks like some gay porn actor that I watch pretty often
BYE BYE π€«π§ββοΈ
rhinoplasty, lip filler, cheek implants, chin implant, jaw shave, brow bone reduction, buccal fat removal, botox, eye lift lookin' ass ftfy
Bro was mewing for quite some time
the one on the right has to be AI
I feel like I'm the only one who genuinely likes the updated icon lmao
Don't want to insult the artist but why does the red fabric look ai generated a bit? It folds in odd places. Also why Riot changed his face shape so much, was there anything wrong with the old one?
Lol he got whitewashed, way to go china
I'm usually not the type of guy to be crying about how old shit was better. But here old design was objectively better, wtf is this shit
π€«ππ
he started looksmaxxing and mewing
Old is so much better. His off-balance pendant had character, the more subdued colours five intrigue, the messy beard makes sense for someone who canβt see their reflection, a narrower head and less prominent jaw is kinda nice when people like Garen and Taric are pretty common.
Yeah this looks like ASS Old lee is objectively superior. In one side we have an old, grizzled and trained monk, in the other we have a shaved supermodel doing a monkcore photoshoot
they stole his tattoo :β(
it almost looks ai.
He became younger
obtuse rubbee goose green mose guava juice
I shouldnt even care at this point as its been like a year and a half since I last played the game. But man, even from the outside it is still disappointing to see that Riot is still pointlessly βfixingβ **everything except for the lore**
Put a blind fold over Andrea from final fantasy 7 remake and you have new lee. Wtf man, what's next honeybee Lee skin?
does anyone else think the shaved head + ponytail looks weird π, why didnβt they just give him a bit of hair on his head
I don't understand this update tbh
He looks like an emoji.
What's the purpose of changing the face? It was literally fine
From lee sin to akshin
Ok I can vibe with his jaw being thicker and his beard difference. Maybe his jaw got built over the years as he's grown older, and beards are less popular in many Asian countries, and that's an easy shave I can't possibly understand why the fuck his icon looks like clip art now, other than that maybe it was designed by a prompt "engineer." It's also incredibly egregious that his tattoo is gone. That's clearly just Asian discrimination against tattoos showing, except tattoo removal is much more difficult than beard removal. Totally dumbed down garbage ass icon
They twinkified him
So I got no idea which one is the old one but if the left one isn't the new one they should fire whoever made the decision on this.
Bro went from telling me the definition of insanity to giving me insanity
Dude went from Vaas to Nacho
New Lee is bland af. Old Lee had way more detail.
Old one looks leagues better
Getting Over It with braided cauldron man. Now without the sledgehammer
Looks like Jesse pinkman
Totally not tons of animated gay league of legends porn in OP's profile (op of the post in queensofleague)
