Hello!

With K/DA, we wanted to explore a different style of emote than the sticker style, and create K/DA emotes to go with the illustrative style of the group's social media posts. Social media was a defining aspect of how K/DA interacts with fans leading up to their album release. So we wanted to connect with that and bring something new to emotes. These K/DA ones have unique VFX - a first for emotes!

This is why they don't have any of the sticker aspects (such as the peel intro animation and sound, the white border, or the thick black lines).

Typically, new emotes will continue to be stickers (like the ones you'll see with Targon's next expansion), but if there ever is another event in the future that celebrates something with a unique look, new emotes styles are something we could explore again.
