About Fiora's new splash arts and splash art "updates" in general

First of all, why did anyone think the old ones needed an update? They were perfectly fine. Ironically, the only Fiora's splash that did need an update* was untouched. She still looks like a 50-year-old after facelift. The new ones, other than in my opinion they just look worse, are too anime-like, which doesn't fit the general style of champion splash arts in LoL.

*Or "un-update". Since you're un-reworking Kog'Maw, while you're at it you could un-update the splash arts that were replaced by worse: Vayne, Swain, Fiora, Musketeer Twisted Fate, Divine Soraka, Frostfire Annie, Irelia, Spectral Fiddlesticks, Boneclaw Shyvana, Rammus, Xin Zhao.

Some other splashes that do need an update: Tristana, Alistar, Galio, Janna, Malphite, Warrior Princess Sivir, Bandit Sivir, Gentleman Cho'Gath, Corki, Amumu, Singed, Imperial Xin Zhao, Kassadin.

  1. Stop using "anime-like" as an insult.
  2. Those updated splash arts have NOTHING in common with anime of any kind. Hell, finding a FAN art of an anime in this art style would be pretty damn hard.
  3. Learn to differentiate between "updated" and "placeholder" splash arts.
  • Example of "updated" is Vayne's - which action pose is so idiotic, I'm still using her old graphics - which is not going to be changed in the near future.
  • Example of "placeholder" is Boneclaw Shyvana's - which I dislike only slightly less than Vayne's - which is going to be changed when Shyvana gets a VU of some kind or if the team making splash art updates decides to do her first.

What about any of trist's splashes needs updates?

And Fiora's were done to get them on par with Riot's current art standards, as well as show how she changed with the update
