I'm not the only one blown away by this splash.

https://i.imgur.com/VIGW2rX.jpg This splash art, it blew me away, it's fking amazing, you see it, you want to buy the bundle just for this badass skin of hers, and then: https://i.imgur.com/U7Xc1jz.jpg This. Come on Rito, don't be such a tease https://imgur.com/lb8ztrH ^^ my expectations crushed with the reality. At least give her the red hot hammer, it'd be great for this, it would probably, no, definitely sell more skins too. Riot please, dont let the art go to waste on a bad skin.

I agree, if we just make it so it gets red hot when she's charging up her ult, and then maybe add a fiery effect on the slam to knock back, then that skin would be incredible.

Not sure if this belongs in the Art board or not though.

MeatwickNov 28, 20151 votes

Welp, if they changed the hammer in game, then we would be filled with Determination, and make the sickest ult plays in the history of League of legends, therefore affecting gameplay.

Even if the skin doesn't live up to the splash, I still get hard just playing this skin.

Hard PenetratorNov 28, 20151 votes

This skin main fail wasn't particles or theme but actual nerf that prevent Pant from having good ult (which is pretty f bad to this day). However I must say Riot did let FREE REFUND for every person that bought that skin and didn't like the nerf.

So if you are saying "Never Forget" I will always remember that Riot showed how you supposed to handle those bad situations.

Singing LarkNov 28, 20151 votes

What nerf? o.o

Hard PenetratorNov 29, 20151 votes

Since release Pantheon could use his skills (while being it he air) on targets below him. Effect was that after landing you could stun/hit target that was out of w/q range. No one had any problems with it because everybody knew how it worked. For most of the players it was something that made his ult good, now its pretty garbage.

YuGiHoNov 27, 20159 votes

Im hoping they are not done with poppy skins rework, i want black effects instead of gold on noxus poppy and the hammer for her ult should mirror the hammer she is wielding for all skins

is that a chicken or an antigenic pharaoh dragon that was mummified by a bunch of unicorn babies in the pool of a mermaid breast milk?

This is how I felt about the original...uhh...I forgot the name, the but the cute adorable one, battle regalia?

I was like "OMFG a cute poppy skin! its not fugly!" but then in game it was just meh

YellowJoshiNov 27, 20152 votes

I wonder if it glows red when using one of her abilities

Secret Butt FunNov 27, 20152 votes

Is it really that bad? Yeah, the splash is pretty badass, but in game, I find a redhead Poppy adorable.

I just love her rework too much.

RavenstikerNov 27, 20152 votes

How the in the actual fuck do you fit that thing you call a chicken in a can? I think the can should of exploded of pure horror by now

tau43Nov 27, 20156 votes

The can is actually pretty big. It's actually about the size of a chicken.

AziriouslyNov 27, 20152 votes

Strangely enough, I'm in love with the in-game model on the new Blacksmith Poppy, the splash is as good as I'd expect any splash to be. Probably because it fits her character the most.

The SoulforgedNov 27, 20153 votes

Fits her old character :/. They just removed that and made her all modest so that's the only remnant of what she was, a blacksmith and a badass,

Yeah that's what I meant, and that's exactly how I feel about the rework, too. Poppy's one of my fave champions so to see her attitude become "Uhm, don't make me have to smoosh you..." is quite disappointing. Not to mention the removal of her assassination role.

kDrakariNov 28, 20152 votes

I mostly buy skins for the splash art anyway, but it would be nice to have the model match that top-tier splash art.

She just got one, thats what you're looking at here...

RozzetaNov 28, 20151 votes

I hope it's simply an image taken at an awkward moment.

The skin, ever since original Poppy is most demanding on stern or stoic expressions. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, RITO, GIVE HER GOLDEN EYES! I'm not even asking for the badass Tempered Iron Hammer. That much would be possible.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought the splash was awesome :D. And I see what you did there [slayer-jinx-wink]

lol. my brother and i exchanged mystery gifts and i got blacksmith poppy. i thought i regretted the world. at least the splash is nice though lol.

She;s the first champ with full facial expression tho. So she can make that angry face in game.

Wtf are you doing buying "canned" chicken anyhow, op?

Also, You're comparing an apple to an orange, even though I get the idea of your post. Sure, the Poppy skin doesn't appear exactly like the splash art, but they still did a great job on it. Hey, I'd like to see you become a Game Artist and do better, op. Sound like a plan? Learn some code and programming, go do better than this, and then you'll have room to speak!

Wut? So criticism on anything that doesn't relate to your own job isn't legitimate? Riot has shown that they are able to create extremely good looking ingame models, this is not one of them. Just compare the hammer of the splashart to the ingame hammer - no VFX, flat, boring iron. They could've done way better.

It's all a matter of perspective: glass half empty vs half full, tbh. You can argue that they didn't do enough, but I come to you showing you the other side of the coin. They code, they use programs, etc.. They do alot. I'm not trying to say that they should settler there, but what I am saying is that they merit some credit. Actually, a lot of credit. They do a lot of hard shit that most of us would spend our time pulling our hairs and go bald over. Just food for thought, bro. Just give them credit where credit is due.

Gregor GysiNov 28, 20151 votes

I don't think the half empty half full analogy works here. I mean you could say it isn't as bad as the old Poppy, but well. It's still not on the standard of their other recent works, so there is room for criticism. Yes they deserve credit. Give them credit when it's due. But criticize when needed. Just because Riot does something well, that shouldn't mean that we can't complain about something they messed up. Especially when it's about content they want to sell.

MeatwickNov 28, 20151 votes

I'm not discrediting their work at all, I'm saying it would be cool if they upgraded a 520 skin to 750 tier, but Riot hasn't done this in my memory, and I dont believe they will, but it's good to get opinions out there,

MeatwickNov 28, 20151 votes

I actually am going into graphic design, so that's kinda the plan, and my OP is simply sayin I'd like the recolor they gave the new base skin to be changed a bit more to reflect the splash. One can dream.

The skin looks absolutely amazing in-game.

The fact that Riot has stated they plan to update every champion's splash arts after a relaunch is astonishing. Poppy is setting an absolutely monumental precedent for other champions to follow. I think each and every one of her new skins and splash arts are amazing, and I'm happy Riot was able to put so much effort into each of her skins.

If you look closely (although very closely), you can see that each of her skins has a different hammer design for her ultimate when she successfully hits an enemy champion. I know Riot doesn't have the resources to give each of her skins unique recall animations or fancy particle effects, so I'm more than happy with the amazing work they've done so far.

All of Poppy's skins will be available for purchase after her release to live servers, and I know without a doubt that I'm picking up this skin.
