Riot, could you please update Aviator Irelia's skin?

I know it was already mentioned, but I wanted to tell my story. I bought Irelia a several weeks ago. I saw the aviator skin and thought it was pretty cool. I wasn't sure if i was going to buy it, because i wanted to know i liked her. After a while I enjoyed her and went to check out the skin and decide whether i still wanted to buy it. To my surprise their was a new splash art for Aviator Irelia. (It looks awesome guys) I was in much awe when i saw it. There was no way I was going to pass on it now. So I bought it in a gleeful manner. But when I played my first game with her, she didn't match her splash art. Her jacket wasn't yellow, her pants and gloves weren't that dark navy blue, and her blades don't have the same design. I know it looks more like the old splash art, but it doesn't even exactly resemble that one either. (I felt like the old skin still had a yellowish jacket) Granted, I still like the skin but it was definitely a big disappointment. It was a case of false advertisement. I don't know if you plan on updating her skin to resemble the splash art at some point, but you should really consider it. If not, then updating the splash art to match her in-game appearance would be right. I hope you do the first, because this is my favorite splash art and it would be a shame if it were just a tease. Thank you for listening Riot.

-Love, Girafit.

In case you missed it. The update to Skins' splash arts is a temporary solution. They will eventually update the splash arts to match the skins.

I couldn't agree more with you, Girafit. Think they listened. Irelia

It's unlikely to happen before a visual or texture update for Irelia. I wouldn't even be surprised if she got a kit rework with it. Just as long as she still looks like Amelia Earhart, I'm good, it's my favorite skin.

In before people wondering why we aren't using Frost Blade.

Also, I personally much preferred the old splash art. The new one is admittedly more detailed, but I like the look of the old one better. Seeing this just makes me miss it.

I find it best to look at the skins first in LoLking just to be sure your happy with the look before buying.

Thanks for the info Wicked Shiv. I did not know that. And from now on I will look up the skins first. I still like the skin, but I personally feel the splash art version looks cooler. Who knows, maybe riot will grant my wish. Not holding my breath though.
