Poppy's New Splash Arts
I have to say that I love that all of the art for her splashes has been updated to coincide with her update. I think this is a great step forward and sets a great standard for future releases. I do, however, have a couple issues with this.
First, what are the plans for future splash updates for older champs? Some of them are awful still and I don't play the skin that I was enamored with at the the time it released because the splash is so bad. I realize this is more of a question but older splash art not getting updated is something that should be accelerated and poppy's update only further emphasizes this.
Secondly, OMG THAT TOOTH. Its awful. Its incredibly distracting for the art's sake but also takes away from her character. It feels too forced in order to mimic a trope and in my opinion detracts from her intelligence. It just looks either stupid or quirky and poppy is neither of those things. She isn't a cat or a child, she's a grown Yordle. None of the rest of them are this way. At best, this MIGHT belong on Lulu, but I don't see that there either.
I mean, her joke is, "Jokes? I don't know any jokes!" Would someone as serious as Poppy is really have that tooth hanging out? Even a combat perspective suggests this is unsafe for multiple reasons. Please change this riot.
