Why doesn't the ingame HUD splash for Odyssey Kayn update when he chooses a form?

It makes sense that, if the champion doesn't have the assets made, they revert to their base splash when they change forms (like Gnar for example)

It makes sense that Soulhunter Kayn, who never had rhaast or shadow assassin forms drawn in the splash, to not update his splash when he chooses a form

The thing is, though, that with Kayn you only get your ingame HUD splash (next to your abilities and healthbars) to be unique for the first roughly 10-15 mins usually if you're playing him right, compared to the splash only reverting for like 10seconds at a time for other champions, before going back to the splash portrait of the skin A bit underwhelming and dissappointing tbh.

Now, i'm not saying to draw up any new splashes, or to keep the HUD icon as odyssey base kayn for the whole game, because that kinda makes clarity a little difficult or whatever reason

Here's what i'd like to propose https://imgur.com/a/9BGRlRE You could crop these circles (or something around that amount) and smack them into the odyssey kayn skin's unique portrait on your HUD. All the assets are made, and a rookie could crop it and make it look fine for the circle splash, so i dont think that part is a big deal to implament in future patch or hotfix. I'm not sure about the code side, but hopefully that's simple enough as well. it's a $20 skin and would be a majorly awesome QOL change, making the skin worth it It's bugged me for a while that it reverts to the basic Rhaast and Shadow icons on your hotbar when you evolve, even though the assets are there (unlike stuff like Mega Gnar versions of Gnar's skins, which don't exist), and then that's it for the entire rest of the game. Sometimes you get 10 mins of seeing the cool icon compared to 30-40 mins of generic plain kayn icons in the exact same game

It may be a little difficult, once again i don't quite know how the icon code works or anything, but even if it's not an obvious change it's one i think that a lot of people would appreciate

Thanks, hopefully a rito-er sees this. -AA
