Can Morgana actually look like her splash art?

Zeref·10/31/2014, 6:45:14 AM·52 votes·20,177 views

Her in-game model looks NOTHING like her (updated) splash art. Her dress looks like rusted pieces of metal put together, her wings look like rotten tree branches instead of tattered feathers, and her skin tone is similar to Frankenstein's.

Morgana has one of the most outdated models especially when compared to the rest of the champion roster's classics. She'll look completely out of place on the updated Summoner's Rift if she doesn't get some kind of VU before then :l

I'm aware that she has some of the better skins in the game (I personally own Ghostbride and soon, Victorious) but I don't think that's an excuse for her classic in-game model to be complete shit.

I'm also aware that a few other champions could use a visual/texture update; and a lot have already gotten theirs. (i.e Anivia Blitzcrank Trundle Karma Sion Kayle)

I think she deserves to be next in line.

Here's an edit to the in-game model (posted by Aeces) that suggests how Morgana should look like to resemble her splash [Left = Original | Right = Edited] accurately.

Totally agree with the OP! And since we already have a thread about her, I'll just post it here ^^ http://i57.tinypic.com/2s9zqdj.png Click the image for full size

Especially with a new skin coming out. Her in-game does her splash no justice.

I thought this was the original splash art @_@

This, please this.I love Morg to death - her lore, her character, her playstyle, her splash.. but her original skin looks nothing like it and is so dated and out-of-synch with her splash design that I ended up getting Ghostbride just to avoid looking at it.

Even her alt skins aren'tthat great (Blackthorn's.. okay but kidna weird; s'why I went Ghostbride - love it, but still I'd love to have the grim, powerful, sexy avenging rebel angel we see on the splash..)

I can get behind this. Her Blackthorne skin splash looks AWESOME but her in game model looks like complete doodoo. Her body is like Stick Stickley in a dress and her wings were perfectly described as old ass tree branches. If anything, I would settle for her wings being a little more robust on her in game model!

She'd look 10 times better if they recolored her model and made her dress more than 6 polygons

Her VU is a long ways away according to IronStylus. And quite honestly, yes Morgana needs it but I am not sure if I have faith in Riot listening to fans about aesthetic themes that are important and must-haves in reworks. When I have faith that they are willing to truly listen to the dedicated fanbase, then I will be ok with her getting a VU. Until then, Blackthorn and Ghost Bride are excellent skins.

(I've been playing Morgana since I started this game, around Fizz's release in S2, I know the pain of her waddle and other issues.)

She looks diseased and decrepit, as she always has. I mean just look at her. She is falling over sideways with ugliness. Doesn't really boast the immense power she has. :3

And I do absolutely love your recolor OP! It's fantastic and I support it 100% :D

That edit was posted by Aeces, it's not mine @_@

why you using an updated splash? Lol

Sukishoo10/31/2014, 5:32:40 PM2 votes

Pretty sure that splash is outdated anymore, since they are releasing several updated champion splashes throughout all of the newer patches. So there will be something even more out there once her new one hits.

Morgana is a strong champ... and in general 60 or so% of morgana players are douches..

JChaosMaster11/2/2014, 1:08:44 AM1 votes

I'm 90% positive Talch needs it more. He still has pizza feet. Although I do somewhat agree. I mean in game Her leg's look like a pile of warms.

This. So much of this. A while back when I was deciding on what skin to get for her, I was comparing the models with the splash art and the skin spotlights in order to see which had the best combination of splash, model and particles. While I was looking at the models on lolking, I saw her base skin and thought that their model was super outdated because I guess I had always imagined her looking like her splash. I had to go check in game because I could not believe that she looked so different from what her splash led me to expect. The art looks great; I believe it still matches with the new unified style they are working towards. I just wish the model actually looked like that.

I also have a suggestion, I know you did a recolor of her current in-game appearance, but that should be changed too. Here: In her splash art she looks powerful, strong, and confident. But here: In her current model she looks more like a withdrawn emo, not a powerful woman who's ready to kick your butt!

And I do absolutely love your recolor OP! It's fantastic and I support it 100% :D

I'm sure we'll see a Morgana update in season 5. She's among the most dated models out there, and while she's not suffering from pizza feet, it's pretty bleh. They might not be planning on it soon, she is getting a skin, and they don't like updating champions with recent skins.

I was really hoping her getting a new skin meant they would model update as well so they wouldn't have to double back :/

JustBoneBrook10/31/2014, 10:57:03 PM1 votes

Well i will go with (splash art only) Ahri Anivia Blitzcrank Diana Evelynn Ezreal Gragas Irelia JarvanIV Jayce Kennen Malzahar Nautilus Rumble Rammus Quinn Poppy Pantheon Shaco Shen Singed Skarner Swain Varus Udyr Tristana Taric Veigar Warwick XinZhao Yorick Zilean Zyra

AND YAH I know almost 50% got there splash art fit in PBE like Gragas Ezreal Blitzcrank Udyr ETC. but some will probably never have it like Ahri She need it and got remove so yah i put them too :D (really i dont got why Ahri got revert back it was a so good art :D)

DéézNuts10/31/2014, 11:16:07 PM1 votes

People always seems to disagree with me, but honestly, I think neither Kog'Maws splashes look like its in game model at all.
