My problem is that they are trying to use a worse splash art even though they one we currently have is almost objectively better because China's censorship laws.

Oh, so they are going from the top to the bottom one? That's silly in my opinion, but then again, I'm not an expert on Asian culture. I don't like it, but I've learned to be open minded of other people's culture's, even if I don't understand it.

the reason it is this way in chinease art is that showing skulls/undead??? is bad luck hell, they are so superstitious they skip number 13 so elevators literally go from 12 to 14...

Yes, but Riot is trying to make ALL splash art match across every region now. So it will be the way it is.

actually 13 is a north american thing it 4 they have an issue with, iirc its because the word for four is almost the same as death or something like that. (and iirc thats japanese)
