Piltover Customs Heimerdinger's Splash
NOTE: Some sections of this post are purposely over the top, and shouldn't be taken that seriously. On that note, I am trying to get a serious message across as well, so try take the main idea seriously.
Anyone that plays Heimerdinger can agree that the coolest skin for him is Hazmat Heimerdinger. I mean, look at those turrets! But in my opinion, the coolest Heimerdinger model belongs to piltover customs Heimerdinger.

- Those sunglasses. If it weren't for the stained shirt and mechanic garb, I would've thought this was Matrix Heimerdinger. Whoa.
- He doesn't have a beard, he doesn't have muttonchops- he has freaking burnsides. Piltover Customs Heimerdinger is so advanced in terms of facial hair, that he went to the fullest potential of it, then it reverted back to a pair of burnsides.
- His swagdana. Just... his swagdana.
- His belt buckle is almost as majestic as that awesome Daft Punk one I can't see myself wearing in public. Still want one of each, though.
- THAT HAIR. If you've ever seen his in-game animations, that hair flows gracefully through the wind like a flag on the Fourth of July.
There's just one problem with this skin...
The splash art hasn't been updated from his old model. For comparison, this is what the old model looks like:

- Those sunglasses are bad.
- He doesn't have a beard, he has a tiny mustache.
- His swagdana is microscopic.
- His belt buckle is a square.
- His hair makes him look like a disco ball.
But worst of all, the majesty that is the newer Piltover Customs Heimerdinger shares the same splash art with him.

When they see this, they don't think "Wow, that skin is amazing! Look at that swagdana!" What they DO think is "Since when was Heimerdinger's head proportionate to his body?"
The difference between the in-game model and the splash art is drastic. And so, I ask of Riot- please change the splash art so that people can know the full majesty of Piltover Customs Heimerdinger. My suggestion is Piltover Customs Heimerdinger on top of Mt. Everest, with every other champion bowing down to his glory.
TL,DR: The Piltover Customs Heimerdinger splash should be changed to show the newer version.
