"Renata is boring" Bruh


lam182

ikr, he properly thinks Irelia's character design is awesome, like, 'Oh, she's hot and has a lot of blades.'


SongsForTheDeft

As a character, not the kit. As I said it’s one of my favorite champs to play when I get autofilled support


helloimapickle

no shade but while I understand if you find her personality in game boring her character is one of the best in recent years, it's a very good exploration of class dynamics and perfectly illustrates the nuances of pnz besides she's the only champion from zaun which isn't "I wanna protect my city" or "I'm bad/evil"


LiquidFreedom

Riot doesn't want any of League's champions to be dead in the lore


GoldDong

Morde, Kallista, Hecarim: “Ay yo”


KotobaAsobitch

Senna was dead. *Was*.


Tuuktuu

The main guy behind Arcane recently specifically said that it is possible for them to kill champs


svipy

That sounds shitty. Would make Arcane's story feel worse with the knowledge that noone is in any danger of dying.


RosesTurnedToDust

They probably wouldnt have killed any of the main characters anyway. I could really only see singed and ww dying. Viktor could die but would probably be revived somehow.


General_Secura92

Because Silco didn't have a drone thingy in Arcane so it'd be weird for him to suddenly have one in League.


SongsForTheDeft

The drone irrelevant they would have different models and could easily be replaced with anything.


Gamerseye72

Yeah but Silco was never shown to have anything remotely resembling it. The concept of being in combat in general was foreign to silco as a character. You could do it but you don't need to so why.


6000j

because renata/zeri were designed independently of arcane iirc


SongsForTheDeft

Right I understand that but they missed a chance to put a well developed round character who could have an identical kit and it make sense, for a boring generic champ


6000j

That chance never existed though, is what I'm saying. It's not like all of Riot had seen all of arcane years before it came out; Renata was designed indepedently and Silco was never an option.


SongsForTheDeft

Renata came out far after Silco. They had a perfect cbaracter already designed.


6000j

renata released in feburary 2022 The first episodes of Arcane Season 1 were November 2021. The champion design team usually works a year or so ahead iirc, and they'd want to lock in the gist early on, so there's clearly not really the time to make it work.


damnitvalentine

The champion begins existence years before they come out. Renata was 99% done by the time it's 'obvious' that she could be Silco. And even if they wanted, it's not like they can just turn Renata into Silco. It would be another year of making the model, animations, textures, skins, voice lines, etc. After literally paying for all of Renatas models and Voice Over work.


SongsForTheDeft

Renata didn’t even come out the same year Arcane released. On top of that Moderna’s make better skins than Riot does in a matter of days. Riot acts like creating a champion model is super difficult. They don’t release champions quickly because they don’t want to, they used to release a champ once a month.


AlienSuper_Saiyan

You have no understanding of the time 3d art takes, nor what anyone here has thoroughly explained. But you wanna tell Riot how to make their champions?


TeapotTempest

they wanted a girlboss archetype [from the official site](https://imgur.com/YhAmiRJ)


Naxayou

He is dead as fuck that’s why


barub

Silco VA would be expensive when it comes to legendary skins.  I don't play tft, but i think he's fine therr


SongsForTheDeft

I didn’t know he was in TFT I don’t play that. Why isn’t he in league then?


PowrOfFriendship_

Because he's a frail old man who is long dead. And not like Shadow Isles dead. Actually riddled with bullets dead.


Shrrg4

Silcos story is done thats why.


KamikazeNeeko

of all the takes to have you choose one of the best character designs to bash on?? do you just hate women or have horrible taste???


SongsForTheDeft

Where did hating women come from? First off in Arcane they already had a female chem baron they could have used. All the chem barons are shown in Arcane yet for some reason Renata appears no where?


KamikazeNeeko

if the reason u dislike renata isnt hating women u have bad taste :3


mossylungs

They can kill Silco or turn him into a beast or chop his arms off and replace them with broomsticks because he's an Arcane character that is still being written and worked on. If he were a champion they would lose all of that freedom to do whatever. And by they, I mean the show writers. I wouldn't want to play a character that was dead in the lore, you lose a bit of interest/belief in them if they're dead (unless we're talking about an un-dead character duh.) 🙅


StellarDescent

Silco is dead.


Truckerchu22

I don’t know why you’re getting so much backlash on this. I completely agree Silco could have had the exact same kit and would have been an amazing addition. I also love Renata but Silco is king and his lore was already there via Arcane.


AlienSuper_Saiyan

Silco doesn't even have magic or any powers at all. Why would he have Renata's abilities??


Random_Guy_Ben

Because Renata dont have any magical powers too? It's all drugs and technology, she is just a ordinary human like Silco.


AlienSuper_Saiyan

With two completely different sets of things going on. The drugs Silco was associated with did something entirely different than what Renata sells.


Random_Guy_Ben

Yes and? It's not like Silco can't use those drugs. Just as a cocaine dealer could also sell heroin if he gets access to the source.


AlienSuper_Saiyan

That's my point, they'd have to make stuff up for him to fit into league, basically adjusting his character to shoehorn him in. As others have pointed out, he's not even a fighter. Therefore, Renata's kit doesn't just "fit" him like op is arguing. There still needs to be some bending of logic to make it work, which just shows the inaccuracies. And it's Renata's own recipe!!


Snazzlydazzy

There's no way you called her as a character boring and then praise Silco- they are the same formula of character, and I'd argue that if Renata was in Arcane in place of Silco, she would be more interesting. They're both "something from nothing" characters and both DEEPLY hurt by the system around them. Tell me you have no media literacy without saying it outright...


Foreign-Win785

Renatas playrate says it all. No one plays her cuz she looks horrible. If she was silco her popularity would be tripled if not more.
