It baffles me to no end how Riot is dealing with the Kindred thread on the PBE feedback

It also baffles me how people never think about the design process that goes behind designing and implementing characters. Kindred wasn’t designed with a face, and telling Riot concept artists to drop everything in order to go back and design, texture, render, and reconfigure faces for old ass characters probably isn’t very high on the to-do list. Kaisa was designed with a face, I mean Kaisa’s splashart has her face front and center. Kaisa’s e already forces Kaisa to display the mask, so the mask and the face had already been designed upon release, hence why it would have been easy to implement. Riot hasn’t designed Jhin and Kindred’s faces because it was never intended for them to be able to be seen. It’s an important visual element as well. Jhin and Kindred’s masks are iconic, whereas Kaisa’s is not because it isn’t an integral part of her identity.
