“It felt less like a Jhin and more like a person playing Jhin.”
Why is this neccessarily only a good thing? It can also be seen as diminishing the actual in-game fantasy of a champion, something which Riot takes very seriously. Why make Urgot so scary, with his quotes, meatgrinder and all that stuff, if he can just show a cute kitten after executing you which kinda ruins his power fantasy completely? Sure, as a player you sorta become desensitized to all the different champions personalities, but emotes are just adding to the problem. I don't want to sound too hateful, in fact I also use the thumbs up emote, but just becase it is really versatile, emotionally neutral (I mean it isn't a character) and it's easy to imagine how the champion you play would express his/her approval when you flash this emote. I would like to see more emotes of this kind.
