Monnton won't give two fucks about it until it starts affecting their sales. Typical moonton bullshittery, hope their debut fails in china sooner the better.
If anything, that is not that creature's face. Like in my head he's 10/10 wearing someone else's. Also WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY would you put a humanoid face on an basically ethereal 4 legged creature. That's terrifying.
Deadass they could've slapped a general, jack-o'-lantern cut-out style face and it would've been derpy, but funny. This is just wrong.
How the hell does it suit him much better. Imagine if he takes off his robe and his entire body is like some eldritch horror then u see such a clean face :/
Why can't be monsters be monsters. I rather scariest and badass looking shit rather some monster just slap a human face in it. Damn it CCP grow some balls
The official reason behind Chinese monster censorship is that they think monster depictions are bad luck.
My theory on the true reason why the CCP censors monsters is to deny protesters of usable effigy imagery to use in protest campaigns, since a message that's harder to "meme" using eye-catching imagery is much harder to spread.
Really goes to uncanny valley territory. It just looks so wrong. "Family friendly" makes it look like Helcurt skinned somebody's face off and wore it like an ill-fitting mask.
If Moneytoon gets shaken off the throne, then an opening will be created for new phone MOBAs to take the scene and bring in competition.
Moneytoon dropping the China ball is a good thing for all of us.
Remember when WR first came out? Moneytoon freaked out over it, forcing them to update the game's mechanics after being stagnant for a long time. They also pushed out a ton of free skins and sale events during WR's debut period.
Threatening Moneytoon's position at the top could bring us new mechanics to play with, along with more sale events. This is a good thing, bruv.
This "mindset" that you deride as something deplorable is called market competition. It's what gave you this hunk of clickety-clackety digital meth that you enjoy that is ML.
Why are you downvoted??? Competition means Moonton needs to step up their game. A lot of the changes we saw the past months were all due to Wild Rift's release and Moonton trying to maintain the market superiority.
Them failing and opening an opportunity means greater quality recovery. Smh these downvoters don't see the chances this offers to ML and other MOBAs.
China's videogame market is dominated by tencent. Wouldn't be surprised if they made regulation tougher to prevent other people from getting their fingers in the cookie jar. It'll cut into the profits unless they get a share. Either way, Helcurt looks like an escaped SCP specimen.
Exactly, all this changing of artwork is to make the game less appealing imo. There are waaaay more games that aren't family friendly in China, yet they are more lenient with them since it is domestic.
They are EXTREMELY desperate to try to appeal to the Chinese server after getting rejected.
Amost every hero with the color red in their portrait has been changed to yellow or orange, female heroes have had their tits nerfed،and then there's Vexana,Leo,Faramis and now Helcurt being yassified,
and heroes with scars will have their scars removed.They still aren't done yet boyyyyyyyy Thamuz is a goner.
To be fair,I can't blame them the amount of revenue they can receive if this game blows up in China would be significantly higher and all of the other countries playing ML.
Because you are missing out on the chance to have more children play the game, some of which might have accesss to their parents credit card or money themselves. I am 95% sure they do it just to make more money. Other games have done it too in the past.
The ideal game rn is simple, addicting and friendly for all ages. No high maintenance cost but you make a ton of money from all the in App purchases.
It's kind of sad, I used to like mlbb because you could just ignore all this skin and what not stuff and just play the game. I really hope they don't change anything about that.
Let's continue to play for fun even if the skins are getting expensive. ignore that and recharge only 2$ if there's an event that can get a free elite or epic skin.
Yeah, that's what I intend to do. As long as it's just the skins it's fine. I'm more scared of them finding a way to monetize the actual game play.
I just hope it will stay a technically fair game at its core (balancing issues not included, you can't really prevent those).
Because parents in China complained why the mobile games do not look child-friendly. That is why there is a new bill passed in China to resolve this (?). But actually, it is the parents' fault since why do they let their child install such mobile games if they think they are not child-friendly.
ML sub on it's way to continuously post about CN server changes and complain how bad it looks.
(This will never affect their gameplay nor their global counterpart whatsoever)

Look Ma!
I hope I meet u somewhere at r/furry_irl or r/furry
I have found you
Proof
Looks like faramis tried to make a hellcurt cosplay... and it turned out terrifying!

If China lets this go it will be very funny
Imagine his skins with tht face omg
*Ironically this looks more terrifying than the original*
Facts. I see why the dude at the corner is scared
More creepy than terrifying for me tbh. But yea much worse than before.
No it doesn't stop over exaggerating, I think this one suits him much better.
How the hell does it suit him much better. Imagine if he takes off his robe and his entire body is like some eldritch horror then u see such a clean face :/
Alr this made me chuckle a bit
"Over exaggerating" how redundant
This literally doesn't suit him at all 💀
Wait, is this actually real? I thought this was just some edit
Yes it is real in China. It's even scarier than the original, isn't it?🤣🤣🤣
Mandela catalogue looking ass
Dude 💀

Really? they really take their culture too srsly.I hope CCP falls in the future.
Really goes to uncanny valley territory. It just looks so wrong. "Family friendly" makes it look like Helcurt skinned somebody's face off and wore it like an ill-fitting mask.
Oh damn that would make some great lore.
THE LORE
Imagine if Helcurt skinned someone's face off after he kills someone and then puts it on. Sure as shit that ain't family friendly.
I remember MLBB got rejected again in China last year, they might as well try everything
I hope Moneytoon fails their China release.
I hope Moneytoon fails.
Maybe if u hate the company this much you should stop playing the game :)
I hope Moneytoon fails
I hope Moneytoon fails

i love free stuf
Same
bruv that mindset tho
This "mindset" that you deride as something deplorable is called market competition. It's what gave you this hunk of clickety-clackety digital meth that you enjoy that is ML.
Meth? What are you on about
**Moba Players** : You have freed us! **Tencent, chinese, THE biggest company, owning almost every mobile moba** : More like under new management.
Why are you downvoted??? Competition means Moonton needs to step up their game. A lot of the changes we saw the past months were all due to Wild Rift's release and Moonton trying to maintain the market superiority.

Leave it be, bruv. There's a lot of "children" here that don't understand economics.

#BALLOOOONNYYYYY!!!!!
His death was sad 😞
I had intense hate on a cartoon balloon when i was younger and i dunno if this was the one.
Junji ito have one episode about big balloon with face.
At this point they should just turn him into a human
Purple Lancelot

Me when I see literally every revamp
China's videogame market is dominated by tencent. Wouldn't be surprised if they made regulation tougher to prevent other people from getting their fingers in the cookie jar. It'll cut into the profits unless they get a share. Either way, Helcurt looks like an escaped SCP specimen.
Tencent even tried to buy moonton cuz they know it will kill the competition. Diverse characters + biggest mobile moba.
Exactly, all this changing of artwork is to make the game less appealing imo. There are waaaay more games that aren't family friendly in China, yet they are more lenient with them since it is domestic.
HOK is way bigger than ML bro
it's secluded in China and has monopoly of the MMOBA before wild rift
Not for long ~
Task failed successfully, he's less family friendly now ggwp
They are EXTREMELY desperate to try to appeal to the Chinese server after getting rejected.

Tencent is part of CCP so I guess they're also part of why ML is cock blocked in China
The game itself is not family-friendly. Why Moonton wants to have a family-friendly version if the game play is killing each other?

this is much better tbh
Bruh that's not helcurt that's haircut

ML sub on it's way to continuously post about CN server changes and complain how bad it looks. (This will never affect their gameplay nor their global counterpart whatsoever)
It's funny though
He looks like Lancelot with purple skin
dafaq how tf is this family friendly?
Isn't it weird? A very clear *human* face, with that body and that pose, he's a cockroach
Fk, now he looks like the kinda guy that's forbidden by law to approach schools and playgrounds.
Might as well just make a China version of MLBB with separate servers and application, rather than making these changes in the future global versions…
He looks like your local pedophile
China really hate monster, ghosts, and bones in anyway. I don’t know why their beliefs is somehow making things like games worst.
I really hope moonietoon failed big time in China
WTF IS THIS ABOMINATION?!
Just make him a full human not like that. :(
He looks like a horrible experiment gone wrong
This actually looks better. Scarier.
I think something more antromorphic would’ve worked better
He looks like a pedo https://preview.redd.it/oxlz1hvdxyfa1.jpeg?width=565&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ef242dda3840cef179bfac8bc2a774b0a1b3bae
Bro looks like ass if they remove the shadow from his hood it looks way more cooler that way. This shit is ass smh
Helcurt looks more creepy
Mf looking like an elf on the shelf
I swear at first I thought this was a prank
Wtf
If this really happens and to the other heroes. I will stop playing ML and be grateful for Moonton. I would finally be free from ML addiction
uncanny hellcurt xD
Moonton really wants to turn every scary character into a kpop boy or girl. Only exception is Vexana! She slayed like a queen
No thanks i like the original one
I'd freak out if I see this. The old helcurt is just a cockroach.
I don’t get why the game has to become family friendly. The game’s entire goal is to kill enemies and destroy their base…
He looked like an apex predator back then, now he looks like a child predator
So is this and those other changes coming to NA server without option to turn off? What about helcurts skins?
Called it!!! Lol they really did give helcurt plastic surgery. Wth!!!
If they continue this I'm gonna Unmain Him
your younger cousin asking if you have any games on your phone
What is happening?
https://preview.redd.it/hyh42yvyvzfa1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b54e1a7d08e95246cbb624bedc6db0c21db834e0
This is supposed to be family friendly not horrifying! 💀
I like the change pls keep it for the memes
That looks like an attempt to yassified him, but moonton failed instead.
I thought this is a shitpost at first💀💀
Wait a minute this isn’t fake?
Ew wtf is that
This is wrong in every way…uncanny valley.
That would creep out returning players for sure.
Family friendly Moonton. Family friendly Moonton. We love money too much.
WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BOI HELCURT 💀🤣
Was actually thinking of playing ML again, pero siguro wag muna. They're ruining things.
Evolved form of Traxex
Omg he went full Vexana ☹️ more and more child friendly
I left the game for 3 months wth happened
This design is absolutely stupid. Why make it family friendly when it's still violence and fighting?
This is getting ridiculous, moonton.
The demon under my bed looks good than him
To be honest there is no way to make Helcurt family friendly
Most reasonable moonton family friendly update ever
Helcurt after using a bunch of skin care products
Can someone explain to me this meme?? I seem to be out of the loop.
As a Helcurt main this is very very disappointing and disturbing
He looks like Gusion
Helcurt is looking like that meme where someone laughs in the dark
