I'd pay money to keep the old Ahri Splash

Like a lot of others I feel this new Ahri splash pales in comparison to the current one.

This splash makes her look elegant, mature and sexy, while also also powerful and mysterious. she has a long thin very attractive figure as described in her lore, long and straight hip length hair with a clearly braided pony tail, her outfit resembles that of a shrine maiden with the dangling bell that hangs from the chest of her outfit, her distinguishing fox features ( her 9 tails and fox ears) are put on good display too, with a slight focus on her orb giving her the feel of a magically powerful creature along with her feminine sexiness. you see her full figure, her tails, her ears, her outfit, her orb, everything. It fits her lore and matches her in-game avatar as well. Everything in the current splash is perfect.

compared to this new splash, her face isn't the same shape and she looks like a different girl, like a close sister maybe but not the same Ahri at all. her hair is short (mid length) and more wavey and curly compared to the straight hair she really has in game, and you can't even tell she has a pony tail. her overall figure looks shorter by like 4-5 inch. and she looks like more of a 17-ish teenager compared to her current where she looks more the age of a grown woman. half her figure is hidden away by her tails. her ears are too small. the bell in her outfit is missing and makes it look like a high-school cheerleaders outfit, not the shrine maiden look she should have, that she has already. also her orb looks less made of energy and more of a physical crystal ball. everything about this new splash does her injustice, as an Ahri main, I really hate it.

Put the old classic in shop as a skin with the same in game avatar, just with the original splash. even if you sold it for 3200 I'd buy it. cause I'm quite attached to the current splash art, despite having all her skins I use the classic the most because I like it's in-game avatar and splash art the best out of all of them.

I miss Ahri's old splash already, and it's not even been taken away yet....

i don't beileve you when you say that you would pay for the old splash art, all you did was point out the differences between old ahri and new ahri and never went into detail as to why these changes are so bad that it warrants a switch back. who would pay for a splash art just for nostalgia purposes? i don't even understand why splash art would mean so much to anyone, you see it for a second in the loading screen then poof, your in game, are you just circlejerking with the rest?

See it for a second in the loading screen? Nope. I see it for 2 minutes in the loading screen.

And then every time I look at my minimap. Or the kill feed. Or my champion information page. Any time I look at my profile and see my three most played champions. My match history.

It's there for a lot longer than 2 minutes.

Its funny because most of the people who say they like the splash over the old one are not even Ahri players or mains. I've already played her on my pbe account & I can say that it's pretty ugly, especially on the mini map. 70% of the small icon is that messy hair, the rest her smooshed small odd face. They could have made her a lot better & add back the old beautiful and elegant Ahri features they took away. People need to understand that just because it's all hd, doesn't make it better in the detail quality. Someone start a petition against the new splash for us Ahri players please xD I'm not accepting the new one, they ruined her elegant beauty I came to love and will forever miss <\3

90% of new/updated splash arts don't give champions justice, looks overloaded(opposite Riot says they want to do with TU's, SR update, etc), hideous and the worst part is that you are forced to look on them all the time in some form or another.

Splash art isn't just "that thing" in champion's profile. It's their face in pre-game lobby, featured matches, in-game icon, loading screen and everywhere where a champion is discused, may it be wikia pages or websites like LoLKing or ChampionSelect.

I agree that they look nice, but as a wallpaper not something you will see all the time in-game.

I'd still pay for it, 3 years after.

I think this should have gone into feedback though, is there a way to move the thread?

Vistha KaiOct 17, 20141 votes

Like "boards feedback"? You don't want that. I posted there a suggestion about game launcher and it was immediatelly deleted. DELETED, not moved into proper part of the forum, outright deleted without any explanation where I should've posted it.

Oh...Well never-mind then. That would be lame. :/

Popstar AhriOct 15, 20142 votes

it would be great if they gave her a VU instead because of the tails coming out of different spots, and they sell this old one as a Traditional Ahri skin

From the new ahri splash art, i only like the face of hers but the entire spashart is ust awful ( came here pretty late but ok). Anyway i thought i was all alone trying to bring back the old ahri splash art. Ahri BRING BACK ORIGINAL AHRI!!!

cough.... this was 3 years ago? nani

SomnitsuMar 16, 20182 votes

The old splash art is still way sexier. Wish they would sell legacy skins that change the splash for some low rp.

FelicineJan 21, 20151 votes

woah what happened to everything I typed? Well I tried saying that since they made models for the new dawn cinematic, maybe headshots of those could be used for the minimap and the kill feed? And the profile, match history etc. as well. Because I think that these are really clear, and you shouldn't have any problems with these ones. Other than you know, they look a bit bland and boring, haha.

I don't understand, I like the newer one better, then again I like cutesy more than sexy. I think the new one gives her a mysterious look, and lets be honest, how many times have you read a book or watched a movie where the main character was attracted to another because of the fact that they seemed so mysterious. Besides they have fixed the new splash, they've fixed the charm that hung from her chest and have elongated her ears to a much preferable length.

Her hair isn't short in the 2nd splash art, check her back, also this photo now is outdated. This is her acctual splash rt
