In October 2020. A new champion of League of Legends was launched. The splendid design and beautiful appearance made many users cheer. Her name is Seraphine. Many marketing attempts have been made even before Seraphine's launch. Her Instagram account was created, and she also uploaded her childhood photos and other growth processes. Through these many marketing campaigns, people's expectations for the champion have risen even higher.

The champion's setting is a musician. The champion's story features a narrative that grows into a successful musician after a difficult childhood. When the champion was first unveiled on social media, he was well received by many for marketing like a musician who actually existed.

She felt like a real person because she released her selfie of her beautiful appearance, photographs taken against the backdrop of a real place, and the cover song "Childhood Dreams" which she sang herself, with high quality. Thanks to these detailed details, the response was truly explosive.

The news of League of Legends idol group K/DA's imminent comeback was also released, and an additional announcement of Seraphine's joining as a new member of K/DA drew much attention from many people. But this wasn't the end.

She is still at the center of controversy. Many events, both large and small, have led to a lot of criticism, not favorable comments. Let's talk about Seraphine, the controversial champion in this post.

What kind of champion is Seraphine?

Seraphine is the supporter type Meiji champion. Because of these reasons, overall ability is not good. His physical strength and attack power are quite low. However, there is one of the worst abilities among them: speed of movement. The basic speed of travel is 325, which is very low.

There is also a distinction between these low-skilled supporters and other champions. The biggest feature is that if our team understands Seraphine's skills and proceeds with the game together, we can easily meet the strengthening conditions of the skill. In this case, games can be played with better performance because they can often generate additional effects of skills.

Of course, only advantages do not exist. The projectile speed of the skill is quite slow. This makes it difficult to hit the enemy. The difficulty of play is also difficult to play unless you are a very skilled person.

It's so similar to Sona!

This is the biggest factor that has ever lost the champion's reputation. Serapine wouldn't have had much trouble if it hadn't been released. It is too similar to the existing champion, Sona. There are common opinions from all over the world, regardless of specific regions. "The composition of Sona and the skill is almost identical." If you have similar skills as well as background concepts, you can play Sona instead of Serapin. Many gamers want a new champion. There is no need for a champion who borrowed the existing champion's skills.

From now on, I will list some parts very similar to Sona.

Serapine fires out colorful sound waves.

I had a special musical talent since childhood.

Floating in the air without touching the ground.

It has recovery, protective film, and skills to speed up movement.

When allies are affected by skills around them, they gain additional effects.

When using a skill, music comes out, not voice.

There are more than the above, but isn't the two champions too similar to each other? It is unacceptable to have such a cliche champion in League of Legends, which has always announced creative champions. It's a pity that I could have made it with more care.

A concept out of line with the world view

The concept of serapine is quite heterogeneous. The setting in the Runeterra Continent, which is the mainstay of the League of Legends, is also a serious problem. The representative concept of Serapine is 'pop star idol'. These settings are not a problem. This is because K/DA already exists in the League of Legends. However, the situation changes depending on the city where the champion of this concept appears.

Serapine's main body is a Piltover with the concept of "steampunk." Other Piltover champions reflect the city's background elements from design, but in the case of Serapine, they are quite heterogeneous.

Serapine's pop star idol concept is far from the image of a classy and gentlemanly Piltover. If you design to fit the Filtover theme, you can't imagine an idol-like design.

The negative effects of Chinese capital

This part is also quite important. Now that Cerapin has joined K/DA, he must follow K-POP, the basic concept of K/DA. But Serapine's setting is Chinese. Serapine is said to talk to his father in Chinese as well. Of course this doesn't matter. K/DA itself is not a problem because it is originally a group of members with nationalities from various countries. In addition, there are many groups with members of various nationalities in modern times, so there is no problem with this setting itself, but other problems arise.

Recently, the most controversial was the opening special performance of the final round of the "2020 Worlds." Serapin, not Ahri, will be in charge of the stage and the center of K/DA. 'Ahri' is the leader of K/DA. And Ahri's nationality is Korea. Based on this, Ahri is equivalent to Gumiho in Korea because of its blue fox beads and hanbok. The concept of K/DA is K-POP's idol. Therefore, it makes sense that Korean elements should be the main factor. However, Serapine called the whole song 'Chinese' on the opening stage, not Korean or English.

In the K/DA worldview, it doesn't matter that Serapine's nationality is Chinese. It is a wrong idea and a problem to identify an individual with a country or an individual or group. This is all the more so because there is already a Hong Kong-based member named Caesar in K/DA. However, forcing this fact into the game can only antagonize many gamers.

 

at the end

This post covered Serapine, the 152nd champion of the League of Legends. Serapin is a pretty charming and beautiful champion. But despite having such good elements, many of these advantages are buried because of the controversy. This part is quite regrettable. The Serapine I played was also very interesting and I thought it was also compliant with its performance.

Frankly speaking, I think antipathy toward Chinese capital has had the greatest impact on this controversy. It is true that China has had a negative impact on many media so far. Please don't force their influence into it. There are many great contents in China itself, but I don't know if they force their ideas into other contents.
