    Tbh, karma doesn’t scream “Generic Hot Babe” to me. She has a lot of unique qualities that separate her from the other female champs. I mostly play champions that are unique such as fiddle and kindred. I think despite the beauty standard in league, karma is quite different from the rest concept wise. She should have a higher grade imo

    @@mysticyyy1056 You got this backwards. Skyen shared his opinion, that means the grade and things he pointer out are not absolute or the only things there are to consider. In the comments, we viewers also have the option to share our own opinions since it is, of course, going to differ. Trying to shut down commenters before or as they share their comment is the thing that should be avoided, one of the reasons is that it is an action driven by malice. It is not for you to care about what people say to one another in a random video of a random channel, you may even not care, but if so, why do you do it? You're not even commenting, what is inside your head the moment before you do this is the image of dumb people being mean to one another, therefore, you preemptively try to end the conflict before it begins by being mean to that person; that kind of action strays from reality, does not lead to a pacific interaction and is not constructive. Don't worry about the things you read or people you see in internet, most is gosip level, in the sense that those things have no business ruining your day or life over seeing them.

    I personally don't agree with giving her such a low grade - I would put her in the B tier, she's not amazing, but not bad either. I also don't see her as the "hot generic league babe", although she is really pretty. Her colors are pleasant, the purple and jade green compliment eachother nicely, her short hair is a nice break from all the long haired female characters and she's Indian coded, so that's a plus in a very white female character rooster.

    Not even close. Despite the maybe slightly same jaw shape, and that's if you're reeeeaaaally stretching it, Garen's build is a lot bulkier than Jayce's and proportions are different. Garen's body is drawn like a soldier while Jayce is drawn like a hunk who knows he's a hunk. He stays in shape because he knows it's appealing, Garen's muscle comes from training. You can see this in their designs. Every female character in league has a the same body and near enough the same face. No matter what occupation or personality they are, they are designed and drawn with one thing in mind. Must be sexy.

    This is the first one I don’t quite agree with at all. Sure she does have exposed skin, but she doesn’t scream fantasy babe. Her problem is that beside the wings and dragon, she doesn’t stand out. The rest of her outfit could bring more of the Ionian spirit to her character. I’d give her a B-.

    I have a very specific bugbear with Karma as a design and character and that is the fact that she feels like an appropriation of Indian culture rather than a representation of it. Her passive is called Mantra and her name is Karma, both words taken from Hindi/Sanskrit and both words having roots in Hindu and Buddhist philosophy but her design is fashion aesthetic is generic orientalist bits and bobs, while her phenotypical features read more as African or African-American. Which is particularly egregious because it takes the aesthetics of one American minority and dresses another minority in them erasing both of their identities with no sign of cohesive appreciation for any of their cultures. As a person from Indian descent It was so frustrating to have Karma be the only potential south Asian representation in League till Akshan and Nilah came out

    I completely respect your opinion, and would like to share mine alike. (Gonna be *quite* long) As many other's have pointed it out, I don't fully agree, that "Design wise, Karma is... every other hot League of Legends lady, a completely generic fantasy babe character...". Don't get me wrong, I ackowledge, she does indeed have the usual sporty, slim, fit body type, but imo in Karma's case, it's not shown or exploited obviously enough, to call her that. It's rather just -there, a side effect of being a game character - quite an old one for that matter, as she was released back in 2011, and her splash art and model, which she still uses to this day, she received 2 years later, in 2013 - 9 years ago. I reckon there's more to the 'general hot babe' archetype, than just ideal shape. Take her outfit for example: Compared to the other female characters in the game, Darha has one of the most reserved fashions. Except for that left thigh/leg on the base splash art, she doesn't really have any exposed skin at all, including most of her skins as well. The most revealing one would be Sun Goddess (my favourite one, but not becuase of that), but it's done there, because it fits the aztec asthetic (funny word combo) perfectly. A fully covered/armored outfit just wouldn't work with that. She also has medium-sized breasts, that are almost always completely covered, and her bum is neither ever emphasised. I know the short hair and the dark skin have been mentioned by many already, but I think they are important elements of her appearance - especially in a game full of long-haired white girls. That's why I don't like her Tranquility Dragon skin, because she doesn't look like herself. Now *that* is a skin, where if she didn't have her floating... stuff on her back and was in a different pose, I literally wouldn't be able to tell which champ I'm looking at. Her short hair and dark skin are key parts of her design, details that makes her stand out from among the pretty ladies. Then there is personality, which could yet again highly influence how a character is percieved, and as a result can create sub-archetypes. If you look at lots of the female champs, you'll see, that most of them fit into either of these categories, because of the way they look, behave and interact: cute, innocent, young animegirl (Gwen, Lux, Zeri etc.) cool, confident, sassy, adventurous/reckless (Samira, Katarina, Akali) bitchy, seductive, typically poorly clothed succubus like (Evelynn, Ahri, Nidalee) evil, dark, cold, powerful (LeBlanc, Syndra, Shyvana) And there's obviously more, but you can see how they may all have the same body, they achieve their sexyness all differently. Karma, however, is not really any of the above. Her mature, honest, modest, open-minded, respectful, kind and inspiring personality makes her even less of the hot babe and more of the character she's supposed to be. I see what you meant, and I agree that after a time it gets really boring to look at the same physique over and over again, but as I have described it, it's not emphasised or used, but rather 'canceled out' by other details that make her stand out. If anything, she is the avatar of Ionia, who just happens to be attractive, but she is definitely not overly hot, not in the same way as the other girls. Overall, I think Karma's design is great. It doesn't have that extra drag to be S or A, but it's a solid B/B+ for me. Compared to the concept idea, she is fairly well-executed, her colour palette is pleasant, her outfit and her accessories are great, her skin, short hair, and the floating jade dragons make her unique and iconic, and I like the green tattoos too, that occasionally glow when she uses magic. (Edit: I had to write this down twice, because yt for some reason didn't save it for the first time...)

    There is something I want to share about her design as an artist, it is a phrase that goes: "A hot design may not be a good design, but a good design can be so beautiful it makes you feel it's hot". I understand your point of Karma having a similar body type/shape to many other female characters, but I don't agree because we don't focus on that. We see the colors of her clothes, the dragon things on her back, the asymetry is also super cool because it goes with her deal of making a third path between two others, the way her tattoos also add to the champion and is not only because of aesthetics, they way they glow like in the avatar state, etc. We never see Karma as a hot babe, that has nothing to do with her character, not from the players' perspective, not from the game designers, not from the lore, she is just a normal girl that becomes the Avatar of Ionia. Before, I said that "we don't focus on that", and "we" are the designers, the players, the mains, the lore; Karma does not have the design or idea of "a hot babe", she is a normal woman, a common girl, but women are beautiful and that's where the misunderstanding comes from, because there is nothing in her design that wants you to think of her as a hot babe, The exposed shoulders? The leg with a long tattoo? Maybe some cleavage? Of course anyone could think women looks hot with those, because women are beautiful, and with those, they look even more attractive, but that doesn not transform them into "hot babes", it is such an inaccurate term. It's as I said earlier, Karma is not designed to be hot, rather, her design is beautiful and that makes you feel it's hot. Karma is my favorite champion, and I know she's not up there with the S class, I might give her -A if I stretch it a little bit but I'm confident of her being a solid B class, certainly way higher than -C. So Karma is between B and B+ for me.

    @@zinfuldreams1709 Yeah! It just can't be helped. Karma is a normal woman but women are beautiful and her design is also beautiful. It's just that the line of thought of "Good art/design -> Beautiful -> Attractive -> Hot -> Bad art/design" is not fair nor rational. As an example: an artist shares drawings through a platform, all the artwork have certain aesthetics characteristics; the pieces keep coming but loses the novelty with time. People may get used to the style and say it's worse or bad, but it does not change the fact that the art is as good, if not more, than when it appeared for the first time. There is also a serious problem regarding that line if thought I explained earlier, and it's that is only used with women. There are cases like Kai'sa where the design may not make sense and could have been more interesting if it gravitated towards Cool and non-feminine features; Karma's case is not like Kai'sa at all. Skyen's opinion show a bias where female design doesn't have to be pretty, beautiful or hot unless it has to. I believe he will be calm and happier in a game without any female characters, and he won't pay any mind, since that issue is a solid thing in his mind. This Karma opinion may be a clear proof of that, because he judged her as a hot babe like any other female character in league when there's nothing in her design that has the intention of saying that she is a hot babe.

    Karma is the generic "Cleric" archetype of League with a few unique aspects (notably her wings and dragon circle) to make her stand out.

    So did you call her a generic fantasy babe because her dress is showing off legs, cause I can't and do not get that feeling from her at all. If it is because of her dress, then the vibe it gives is more "elegant and free" than "showing legs to be hot". A woman CAN show skin, and it does not always mean "look she's sexy". Karma's potrayal ingame and in her splasharts are always focusing on her being spiritual, and meditating of some sorts. A C is a weird grade to give her, and you literally did not give any reason for it.
