With Neeko its mostly her accent(The same actress does both the Brazilian and English Voice Lines for her)
How does that translate in other languages, that might not have a stereotype about Brazilian (hence, wouldn't recognize an accent)?
This is exactly why i say in the article its difficult to do representation well without making full humans
TIL Neeko was based on Brazilian culture. She doesn't really feel like she has any culture at all.
But then again, I'm Brazilian and she's my Champion with the second highest Mastery lol.
Yeah that why i said champs are more "inspired by" since they need to primarily read as Runeterran. With human champs its easier to get the reference since we can do skintones and facial features better.

Also could you look into guardian's horn stat tracking in Aram ? Would love to see that. Thanks a lot for your work !
Solid idea. I'll think about this, thanks for the suggestion.
This isn't entirely a request, but do you think that Predator's stat-track should remain as DMG done, or should it be changed to something like max movement speed or something more oriented to the rune itself?
It's not really clear what should track on these. My general philosophy is that we should track things that inform your future decisions. I'll chew on this for a bit.
what about ravenous hunter missing healing now and legend runes showing percent to next instead of actual amounts? I think the old info was a lot clearer and showed more relevant info
Healing is weird because it's a philosophical question of whether vamp/lifesteal should track. Typically we want to do only PvP interactions. Will chew on these ones a bit.
Another one I'd love to see is damage mitigated by Aftershock, but idk how mitigation is calculated so it might not be as feasible as other stats
Good idea, added to my personal list of opportunities.
Wonder if its possible to show the extra damage lord doms does as well?
Definitely. I started working on this one already, I've been learning how to make these as they seem like nice player value adds.
Ekko my dude
Also Rell
Honestly 1 champ every 3 years is not very good even if you are going to do more. You know, we have like 4 black characters (no I'm not going to count stuff like azir) and that's still pretty low. But you have an entire empty region and one character who's Latina lol.
And like, it can't hurt with your player bases in Brazil etc.
It would be cool if you did a few in a row as an ixtal story similar to the current shadow isles story. I get why you would lean on the stories people already care about first, but even 2 in a row and fleshing out the region would be great for us lore nerds and your own representation goals
Well technically Neeko was inspired by Brazilian culture, though since she is half lizard vastayan it doesn't come though as well as doing a pure human
Pls, as a Latino myself we absolutely HATE Latinxs. We generally don't care if you simply write Latinos to talk about both womans and mans.
Apologize, and thanks for calling me out. Edited it
