Kog'Maw should look like his SplashArt

When rebalancing, I'd like to suggest the design team to make the subject resemble the splash as much as possible. Fadings, lighting adjustements and color alterations are being made anyway. I understand rebalancing doesn't equal texture updates but why not merge them in exceptional cases (like Koggy ^^).
Kog received a splash not long ago and I kinda relate him to Morgana now.

I made an example http://i.imgur.com/X18oGRS.png I know it looks awful ;_;

Kog needs a full VU, but only after Taric, Warwick, and Cho.

I really don't like that coloring of Kog'Maw that you suggested at all. It is way to dark and dull.

Also, Kog most likely looks so dark in the splash art strictly because the art itself is dark, not because Kog'Maw himself is dark.

Kog'Maw's new splash art is in a dark location.

I hate that they are not giving big updates to champs who really need them, such as kog and shen.

I just don't like him being metallic blue. I want him to be a natural grey.

I was here for kog'maw release. Was my first favorite adc. But I do not like that coloring at all. It's just ugly no offence and I highly prefer as he is now.

It's dull, flavorless, and lacks any taste to the current art of league. Just being honest.

This has been discussed in regards to many champions the last year-or-so. Riot's response has always been that the splash art is in a different environmental light than the game to make them seem darker. The same thing was said about Vel'koz.

this is what i suggest instead of color changing him change his texture into like the splash art not the color, in other words give him a more plated appearance like in the splash

This is like the thirteenth thread about Kog'Maw and his splash art. Why's there a search function if not for this? We get it, you are displeased. Riot will probably change the Splash Art soon so the complains can stop. However, my opinion is that Kog'Maw is a puppy and behaves like a insect who, when born, has a different shape and skin, but transforms into a better stage of evolution, similar to Kha'Zix.

Kog had his TU a few patches ago.

Kog'maws splash art is simply at a darker place,so he looks a bit darker. If anything his face would simply need to be a bit like a light shade of grey.

However his current splash art looks much more like kog'maw than his original one,which had him in a rather pink looking way.
