> does the game even have art directors?

We know it has somebody with a foot fetish. Look at the footwear of all the female characters (at least the ones made before 2016, I haven't played it since then).

I did try to watch some recent games and while it looks like the gameplay itself has improved since then, the effect visuals have somehow managed to get even more blended and difficult to read. How do they manage to fail this badly at it for so long?

ehh?? On the character models or splash arts? I've played for a long time and have never heard anyone else say this, outside of the French Maid Nidalee skin[0] which is obvious foot fetish bait. The most notable foot-related art commentary was always around "pizza feet" which was the low-poly, pizza-shaped feet of the character models.

Briar splash art also features very prominent feet [0]. When it was first leaked a lot of the discourse around it was focused on the detailed feet.

Yeah fair enough on that one, though that was last year and not pre-2016 as the original commenter was saying.

Splash arts generally. Almost every single one is wearing heels. Once you notice it you can't stop seeing it.

Women wearing heels in wildly inappropriate situations is pretty common media. The number of times I have seen some secret assassin, bodyguard, super hero archetype wearing impractical footwear seems to outnumber the times they are wearing an athletic shoe.

High heels are foot fetish? I thought it was about naked feet (e.g. all Tarantino movies).

This is the first time I hear of liking heels as having a foot fetish.

What’s with the vilification of people with a foot fetish anyway? Seems like they’re always getting called out, ragged on, and otherwise treated as filth. Its just the human body, idk what the big deal is.

I think it's exposure. It's a relatively low-taboo fetish, and (unlike most others) it's acceptable/possible to post/find feet on traditional social media. It's possible to post feet pics and accidentally find yourself engaged with a sexual subculture you were not intending to encourage.

Also wtf WikiFeet.

I don't recall vilifying anyone because they had a foot fetish. I do, however, think it's ridiculous to push your fetish into the official art direction of virtually all the female characters of an entire game.

Haha... I think actually the rest of us can stop seeing it! What does it mean when you're the only one who noticed? ;)
