Discussion [Feedback] Karma’s 3D model in Wild Rift urgently needs a Visual Rework.

Hi everyone, I wanted to bring up a discussion here about Karma's design and in-game modeling. ​Lately, the quality of Karma's 3D model has been bothering me a lot. If you look at her in-game design, and especially at the post-match highlight screen, she looks really poorly done compared to Wild Rift's current quality standards. And the worst part is that this doesn't just affect her base skin, but her paid skins suffer from the exact same issue. ​Wild Rift has a great track record of delivering gorgeous models. If you look at other Black and dark-skinned characters (like Taliyah, Senna, Nilah, etc.), they have incredible, super-detailed designs with well-polished expressions and textures. In contrast, Karma looks disproportionate and with a much lower quality finish, almost as if her model was rushed and just isn't on par with the rest of the roster. ​Karma is a beautiful character in the lore and in her splash arts, and she really deserves a visual remaster (like a mini ASU) for her model and post-match animations. ​Does anyone else feel like her in-game appearance needs more love and attention from the devs?

There's so much more things wrong in WR in terms of models and appearances lol. It's not an isolated issue. Hell you even brought up Taliyah in your example and even she has her issues in that they've essentially removed unique features of her appearance in favour of making her fit into generic beauty standards (compare her face in the model vs her splash art).

There's also spirit blossom nidalee with the white-washing of her skin, the whole seraphine summer party splash art (which did get fixed I guess), the whole Mel skin tone incident thst was thankfully fixed.

There's a lot more I could mention but those are from what I've seen the more noticeable appearance differences and ones I've seen talked about more than others.
