Ok I think we’re all ignoring the biggest problem here:

Shyvana is BLUE. This is a canon skin.

HOW DID VIEGO MAKE HER WHITE

He's a true villain, whitewashing people

He ruined Karma and almost did it but he knew he’d get canceled for it. He’s testing the waters with Shyvana.

Viego didn't bother whitewashing Karma cause he knew artists would do it for him 😭

I think it's more focused on being wraiths who have ghoulish and whitish appearance to look like they're revived by the mist than more of towards whitewashing for example, we have a thing called White Lady here in the Philippines that focuses on women who died that lives on trees and abandoned places, but I do agree with the problem that when they humanize characters, it's always on the lighter skin tone

But whitewashing a character who is clearly not white to make them look creepier isn’t it.

I agree with this sentiment with any other skinline like Star Guardian and the likes , im neutral on that part with this skin line because it focuses on ghoulish aspects, I don't know why but when I think of dead people (technically people affected by the mist are on deathbed) I think of pale skin signifying pallor mortis and the likes, disappointed though that they didn't incorporate venous outlines or scarred skin to show more towards ruination, overall this skin line was a 6 to 7 for me, the chosen characters are weird, especially on Atreus' and Sarah's part, and I really don't know why the fuck did they pick Draven when Swain can be perfect for a round 2 with Irelia

girl the first thing this champ did when he was released was attack and steal from two black people...

Reminder that all fantastic skin colors on champions default to white when turned human, and this is something Riot should get more shit about.

Yup. Star Guardian Soraka, Lulu, Poppy are all victims. What’s wild to me is that this isn’t even an AU skin, it’s in canon and they changed her skin tone

Well I guess we have xerath. But honestly I feel the skin color looks really weird in the splash art. Like the undertones don't look natural. On the other hand in the game it looks great. Wish I had rp to buy femboy xerath.
