It will be really good if we can use the skins to replace the champions' icon.

The thing is , after Riot rework , the first thing I thought was " wtf, who is this ugly woman". She was a 23 years old pretty girl, but now, she looks like a 45 years old woman.
Certainly I think this is unfair for people who love the old skin. Although I can buy a skin , but the champion's icon will not change, it is still ugly. So I wish that we can replace skin's icon to the original icon, at least in game, so I don't have to face this ugly one.

Sorry for any grammar errors.

Fiora's splash **really ** doesn't look bad. Her face is less round than before, but it's still very much within the range of 'attractive woman'. I feel like people are just complaining for the sake of complaining, at this point -_-

I mean, that's your opinion and other people have different opinions.

It's just preference in the end. It's difficult to take two pieces of art of relatively equal skill level and go "This one is objectively better."

New Fiora is attractive to some, but because she replaced old Fiora... those who preferred old Fiora might not like new Fiora and it would affect their perceptions.

But hey, I'd like it too if skins affected your icon. I mean, the GP icon changed because of the whole "oh hey the new classic is actually Captain Gangplank now" so I could possibly see it happening. Headmistress Fiora still looks great, and I would never use the classic one now :3

The actual skin/icon idea is great, and I probably should have said that in my original post- it's just that the thread seemed to be mainly to complain about Fiora's new splash when I first looked at it. I've just been a little bit up-in-arms about the whole thing, because I found it extremely difficult to read some of the things other people were saying about the splash- I feel bad for the artist for some of the insults that people have been giving an objectively fine piece of artwork. Then again, I have no attachments to Fiora for better or worse, so my reaction may appear to the change may be a bit callous. To be fair, the initial versions of the splash didn't look much like Fiora, and I still don't understand why they felt the need to change the splash at all.

However, not only fiora, I still think some other champions have the same problems, like Katarina . So if the skin does affect the champion's icon, that will be great. In the economy way, it also attract more people to buy the skins.
