Woah Hoah... Its Pentacents and I stole an iconic intro

I really enjoy the skins that are available for purchase and I typically end up getting a skin for a favorite champion I choose to main or really desire. One of the biggest factors in purchasing any skin is the splash art and Riot tends to "update" splash arts as they deem fit. I want to bring this issue to light and bring up a cool solution to this issue as well because I believe their is still value in old and "brown" looking skins.

General Statement If you own a skin with multiple splash arts...

  • The summoner should be able to showcase it in the pre-game lobby, the loading screen of the game, and icon in game ^ The champion animations in game can be updated and fixed visually because its the portrait of the art that matters not the in game appearance and performance of the champion

"Updating" a skins visuals on an artistic level, such as the portraits, is almost the equivalent of George Lucas "updating" the visuals in his blu-ray remastered Star Wars... The originals are still flame and we should have the option to rock whatever splash art we choose!

I also imagine this working like the chroma system where you can easily swap your splash art if you choose to.

Splash arts which have been re-re-re-RE-REEE-worked

                                                  (....cough ...cough   DEBONAIR GALIO)    
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

can be reduced to a small or single portrait.

If this idea gets up voted I'll make one about wards...

Deuces and gl out there

I like this idea. Allows for more customization, especially as they have for some reason removed the option of using custom splash arts.

For example, this splash I would use (old PAX Sivir):

This one (old Soraka)...not so much: Though it was made before I joined the game.

Also (classic Fiora):
