How do you feel about the impending Butcher Urgot splash art change from the World version to Chinese version? Do you like the World version or the Chinese version?

I won't voice my opinion here so to not create bias.

If you need reference splash arts, here they are.

Worlds. Its set in a butcher shop with creepy lighting and darkness. Chinese is set in a weird castle..? No connection to the theme and looks cartoony.

I think that the Chinese splash, while may be less 'horrifying' or not containing the URF reference, is a an improvement, for not only it portrays the actual model better (I think so, at least), but it seems to be in better quality than the NA splash. I love Urgot and for years I've wanted this (the Chinese splash) to become the Butcher skin splash, so I'll be glad if it passes through.

Very valid reasoning. A splash's similarity to the model is extremely important, and that's definitely something to be considered when comparing splashes.

Thanks for your input!

I dont know, both are pretty bad. The chinese one does look like its from a ps2 game

AeszarckApr 7, 20161 votes

Thanks for voicing your opinion! Both are quite outdated, but they both do a good job of presenting a certain theme. It's a question of which one has a theme most appropriate to Urgot and to a butcher.

World looks much more darker and creepier (in a good way)

Looks like someone air brushed a snapshot of a videogame villain from a game on a '95

AeszarckApr 7, 20161 votes

For which one (or both)?

CHEESYLEEKSApr 7, 20161 votes

the correct answer is - battlecast>butcher

AeszarckApr 7, 20161 votes

Battlecast Urgot is a really cool skin!

I'm just talking about Butcher Urgot here though, sorry. :(

CHEESYLEEKSApr 8, 20161 votes

well... i personally like the new splash's model but the old splash background and atmosphere, so if they combine the 2,would loook pretty cool.

Definitely better. New one actually makes him look like a butcher rather than just regular urgot. That and the art is better and it looks as if more time was put into detailing it.

Can't say that about all the chinese splash arts though, sadly.

AeszarckApr 7, 20161 votes

It seems like for most of the normalized (or to-be-normalized) Chinese splash arts, the quality is better than the World version. They're sometimes lacking in other aspects though, which is unfortunate.

Thanks for providing your input on Butcher Urgot! I appreciate it!

Hey, I'm not trying to be greedy or anything, but I'd really like it if this received some more visibility. This thread is getting some really nice comments, and I'd like it if we could have even more. So if you could, could you perhaps upvote it so more people could see it? Extra thanks if you do!
