Does anybody else dislike this?

Okay, I forget how long ago, but recently. Chinese splashart was forced upon the NA server. some aren't bad, but others are outdated and don't fit with the modern asthetics. namely Shaco's: Royal, Maddhatter, and Asylum Shaco are old chinese splash arts from before season 3. Karthus had some unnecessary changes to his, because of skulls and china, and Warrior Princess/Bandit sivir looks completely out of place. Some other skins feel out of place or no longer represent their in game design or the old western splash art. When I say out of place, I mean: it looks like it doesn't belong in a video game, it looks like its designed for a people who obsess over it (moe anime and japan cough cough), and or looks old and not up to modern Riot standards. good example, Garen's commando skin looks flatter than it did before. Frostfire Annie, just look at her, screams anime. and to finalize. I gripe about some of the Chinese splash art, because they don't match the rest of the splash arts. though some do improve on the old western, namely Temple Jax and Samurai Yi.

oh yeah, Ionia and Headhunter Yi look worse than they used to! [zombie-brand-facepalm]

I believe it was mentioned that the great splash art unification project was going to be a "temporary" thing while they made updated splash arts for the champs with older ones. They've already updated trundle and nid. Right now I think they're prioritizing the champs that got visual updates (sion, poppy, etc) and ryze's rework is going to be released with all new splash arts.

Anyway, they'll get changed eventually. Hang in there.

Remember that these were all Temporary and they will be getting brand new splashes soon enough, just be patient.

I do agree that there are some skin splashes that look like they came straight from an anime. Princess Sivir for example, i could SWEAR i have seen something very similar in an anime before, i just cant place it. Not complaining about it persay but it crosses my mind every time lol.

Since the splashes are old, they will for sure change them. For example Nidalee's skins look MUUUCH better in my opinion. They just pop and look amazing to me. So im quite excited to see what they will do with the others.

to be honest, I was meaning this as somewhat of a throwaway joke. my real complaint is shaco... fuck him, I hope he is in the assassin rework.

someone with that much utility shouldn't have that easy of a way to kill people like a katarina. [slayer-jinx-unamused]
