Splash art options?

Let's try this again.

I would love to be able to select splash art for champions/skins. There's so much good alternate splash art out there: Classic splash art that's sometimes superior or otherwise preferred to the update (Sona's original art comes to mind http://images.wikia.com/leagueoflegends/images/4/46/Sona_OriginalSkin_old.jpg ) Plus all the foreign splash art that we don't get to see (like the chinese versions of Poppy's art http://lolwp.com/wp-content/uploads/poppy.jpg or Spellthief Lux http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/lol.gamepedia.com/a/af/Chinese_Lux_Splash_2.jpg ) some of which is just as good, if not better than the original.

I don't see why we dont get to use any of these already existing assets. Why cant we pick them in champion select when we pick our skin? I often don't buy certain skins even if I like the in-game models just because I can't stand the splash art. I would gladly pay anywhere between 500-3000 IP for some of these, or even something like 50-300 RP.

It's another way to allow us to customize our champions just a little more, show of our favourites a bit (don't pretend like you don't sometimes pick a particular champion and skin just because you want to show off in the loading screen) and reward long-time players (obviously when a champion gets an art update they get to keep the original splash and get the updated one for free)

I feel you, and honestly think it would provide more variety. Personally, the only splash art I miss is Akali's Blood Moon. It felt very artistic and moving. The one currently is good, but I don't have the same artistic enjoyment of it.
