Rito pls: Do not change Divine Soraka's splash art.
Divine Soraka has always had one of my favorite splash arts in the game. The painting style adds class and sophistication to the splash, and really sells Soraka's purity. Soraka is depicted as something greater than the world she is in, a glorious and beautiful entity that is gracing us with her presence. But she isn't on a throne like a monarch, she is simply sitting in a forest playing her music. She is almost a natural occurrence, a part of nature beyond our comprehension. The entire scene is so surreal, and has a frail elegance to it that feel like it could be disturbed at the drop of a pen. It is almsot like seeing a deer in the wild, and being captivated by its beauty.

The new one is certainly beautiful, don't get me wrong. But it lacks the elegance of the original. Soraka is still portrayed as more beautiful than our world, but she isn't really portrayed as better. Soraka is a benevolent spirit that is attempting to lead mankind to a kinder future, and the new splash art just doesn't convey that as well. She is strong and beautiful, but has lost the unique element of simultaneously being a part of nature, while being better than nature itself.
