About the new ahri splash art...

Ok. Here's the deal. I think the artist who worked on this splash art did a great job. It looks fantastic, with nice colors and everything.

**BUT. ** It just doesn't fit Ahri's character. She's supposed to look a bit deceiving, yet looking somewhat innocent. The old splash art did a great job of portraying that.

The new one, however, does not. It only westernized Ahri, with different eyes, curly hair, and a rounder face. It took away everything that made Ahri who she is. The large ears were taken away, and replaced by barely visible tiny ears. The whiskers are barely visible now; you cannot tell by looking at the face that she is not supposed to be human anymore.

Also, the coloring scheme. Does it work? Yes. Does it work for Ahri? Never. Here's why: again, it doesn't fit Ahri as a character. Ahri is somewhat evil, yes. But she is not supposed to be openly evil. Like I said before, she is supposed to be deceiving, and portraying her as a straight-out evil character completely rips off the deceiving part, which is the most important part of Ahri in my opinion, because it portrays her most important skill, charm.

So, here's the summary of my rant. As you can probably tell, I main Ahri and enjoy playing her. I think she is one of the only few champs that have a splash art that really portrays the character of the champion well. I think that this new splash art, while done with amazing artistic talent, does not fit Ahri. This is because:

1. Her most recognized traits, such as Ears, Whiskers, and Bells were removed or shrunk to a unnoticeable scale. Unacceptable.

2. Her character is not portrayed well, and gives off a wrong suggestion about her character. Yes, she is Evil, but her character is unique because of how she is very deceiving. The new art completely erases the deceiving part, and brings out wayy too much of the Evil to the front.

3. I always thought she was an asian, and is supposed to be one if I am not mistaken. I don't mean to be rude, but with the curly hair, new eyes, change of the face's shape, she looks extremely western. To make it worse, she kind of looks like a hooker to me.

4. Too many annoying side art. The old one focused Ahri by making her tail stretch out over a large area, and adding almost no details. The giant leaves and branches waving around at the front are just obnoxious.

Conclusion: Ahri is best portrayed with a bright background, to portray the "innocence", while making her facial expression like before that she seems like she is hiding something and slightly evil. Also, her unique features must be at a larger scale/ brought back.

Sorry, but majority of the people, Ahri players or not, cannot accept this new splash art. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ORIGINAL ONE IS KEPT, OR THE NEW ONE BE HEAVILY EDITED PRIOR TO THE RELEASE.

I really hope you don't release the new splash art with a style like this. Please. I don't even want NA east servers anymore. Don't use this.
