Now, waay back when the splash art for Ahri was updated on PBe, there was a ton of backslash and people wanted it to not be reverted. Rito, of course honored our wishes by reverting it to the old one.

There were numerous complaints but, the majority was that Ahri was fine. Now, All of a sudden they change it.

A link http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/ov2jKBbA-ahris-new-splash-art-updated-and-its-in-s20-info-and-pbe-imo to the original outcry.

Let's get some votes and hope a red sees this!

I honestly think if the artist could find an intermediary between the appeal of the of the old splash and the polish of the new one, it would be okay.

It's mainly her face that's bugging me in the new one. The glow of her eyes and loads of shadows give her a very "unnerving" vibe. It's hard for me to believe she enticed anyone lore-wise looking that creepy.

It's okay league wants to get rid of the iconic art that brought A LOT of players and kept them, including me. lmfao she looks like a sickly witch now, I always saw her as elegant and beautiful not creepy, messy, and sick. Please revert Riot... get the artist who did Challenger to do this one if anything :( or keep the beautiful old one and just make it up to the new splash art standards.

I think it's quite an improvement really.

Also, for what it's worth, I can't get that link to work. the thread shows up completely blank.

The sole problem of the splash art is the perspective... she needs a frontal shot like she had in the old one, this weird jumping-into-the-picture-from-the-side is just awkward as fuck and makes her face look distorted.

I personally don't think Ahri needed a splash update at all! Not to be rude to the artist but her new one is just horrible. I find it hard to even look at to be honest. It's just really ugly. Sure it represents her dark side a bit better but who cares? Swain's splash art doesn't focus on the fact that he's a leader of Noxus and people don't seem to care about that. Also i think that there are PLENTY of champions who needed a splash update before she got one: Brand, Corki, Evelynn, Galio, Jayce, Irelia, Varus, Yorick, Xin Zhao and Poppy just to name a few. I don't think anyone complained about Ahri's splash art before, so i don't understand why Riot felt the need to change it to something that looks so awful.

Meh. I like both, but Imo I think I like the new one better. Maybe the old one could have gotten touched up or something.
