Maybe they are holding out on them so they can be in a huge patch of animated portraits.

You know, they have yet to release the new icon they made (which does look better) for about a year now.

That's actually on his champion page on the site for whatever reason.

That's not on his champion page. This is a completely different one.

Ah. My mistake.

This'll probably come out with his rework whenever that is going to be :/

I think there was also one for WW that disappeared magically.

My guesses are these aren't coming until each of the champions (Swain, Irelia, Warwick) get somewhat of a visual update. Their respective splashes are dated and Riot probably wanted to tease these early for aesthetic value.

The problem that I see with that is that these champs were mentioned to be not in the works currently(or weren't at the time when the splash arts were leaked).

or the artist got fired or they're waiting for the champs update

Swain's new portrait will probably come out along the new champ select. We can hope for the same with Irelia's.

Anivia's current one was teased a long time ago before it finally came through. They're just still in the works.

What are you talking about, exactly?Sona

Maybe it's a Chinese splash art? For some reason, China has different (and often better) splash arts at some champions.

based on the event / country some of the splash is different in regions

I wonder if anyone noticed that Swain's pinkie is lifted. lol (Might be a reference to if not a direct reference to a certain movie villain.)

Riot why always so mute on these things? And why so slow?

I forgot how badass that swain splash looked.

ElegantDoge1 votes

For swain,it will be there when the nem champ select hit the live servers i think. For Irelia...I think she'll get her visual update first xD(and may be gameplay.I hope)

Can anyone tell me where these splash updates went? https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/2672/448/original.jpg https://pp.vk.me/c624030/v624030814/19144/ypooXlqEujI.jpg They were teased but than just kinda disappeared into the ether....

extremely good question...

maybe they got rid of it because a VU for swain and irelia is in the works for this year and felt it would be redundant to update the splash only to have it replaced mid or late year.

I posted this awhile back, too. I want themmmmm

TheFameAnimal1 votes

Anivia's was teased and then wasn't released in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages, so it might be the same for these two (I need the Irelia one noooooooooooow :D)
