Riot pls

When Evelynn gets her splash updates can we make sure that her "assets" from the masquerade art carry over?

I know league has become a lot more censored in the past years, and we haven't received an Ahri, Sona, or MF type of champion in some time either, but can you please make sure that this splash maintains its same feel? Some splashes have very defining characteristics and I think this is one of them. Or allow players to keep the previous splashes that they purchased (I know this won't happen). Not every splash update is an upgrade to some people.

Think Frost Blade Irelia, if it were ever changed to something very different from its original.

Actually, it's not that league has been censored, but rather that they just want champs with looks like MF or Sona to fit the character instead of every girl looking like half the world's ideal image.

But yeah, as an occasional (very occasional) Eve player, I would like some elements of this splash to be maintained.

I think they want to keep the sex appeal of Eve so it's likely we will see it show up again with this update.

Eve will have shadows as clothes ... SHADOWS !!! so technically she will be naked all the time xD ... so don't worry Riot is already trying to keep the "CENSORED BUT IT'S OK" aspect of Eve xD

I, for one, hope it changes.

I've played Evelynn since season three, and mained her for two season now, and I was generally disappointed with the splash import.

If you look at her other skins, they all make something interesting true about her. Her base shows her power and viciousness. Shadow hints at a human background, or at least a human form, showcasing her power while not sacrificing her seductiveness. Tango is classy and beautiful, with that ancient lore reference. Safecracker is good alt-reality skin fun, and cat burgling is certainly fitting for our stealth queen.

What does Masquerade bring? It used to be my favorite of her skins. This was because with its background, there was some sense of mystery. Masquerade is a wonderful aesthetic, combining mystery and sensuality, with no small helping of danger mixed in (Masque of the Red Death, Bal des Ardents). I would love if they updated this skin in line with historical masquerades. It has a lot of potential to bring out parts of Evelynn's character in new ways, but all it is right now is a recolor with a paste-on mask and a really sexy splash.

I'm not suggesting that her skins should not be sexy; that is part of the character, but if that is the only thing a skin brings, I will be disappointed.

That splash art was ported from the Garena server's localised splash art library, when Riot wanted an upgrade for the old Eve splash arts but couldn't be bothered to make one themselves. And as we know it, west like to censor more towards the booty side of things, meanwhile east censors other things but the fat booties are free games for everybody.

And there we have that Eve splash.

Not sure how Riot is gonna do about Eve though, seeing that Eve is kinda the biggest trouble when it comes to the "representation war" in this regard, where it only makes sense to have Eve be oversexualised because that's literally what she is, but then it also goes against the current trend of things. It's gonna be a bit tough.

What I were to guess, Eve would probably end up being "technically" naked, ie not wearing much if any but her body is constantly surrounded in things like shadows or sporting a half-transparent body all the time so you can't see shit anyway. This would be my guess on how Riot is going to fulfill those 2 completely contradictory tickboxes.
