Real talk. Vandal Twitch is shaping up to be my favorite splash in the game.

You're a real tease, you know that? XD

As someone who has started maining Twitch and was lucky enough to receive this skin in a chest, this is music to my ears.

I too am really looking forward to what Riot comes up with. Their splash art teams are phenominal. The artwork they are doing is really fantastic, and we're getting so much of it. Looking back on it, it's unbelievable how much they have done.

Since the beginning of the splash art update project, they have updated:

Frosted Ezreal, Assassin Master Yi, Chosen Master Yi, Vandal Brand, and Jade Dragon Wukong in Patch 5.20 Poppy, Noxus Poppy, Lollipoppy, Blacksmith Poppy, Ragdoll Poppy, Battle Regalia Poppy, and Scarlet Hammer Poppy in 5.24 Frozen Shen, Yellow Jacket Shen, Surgeon Shen, Bloodmoon Shen, and Warlord Shen in 6.2 Darius, Evelynn, Fiddlesticks, Kennen, Blade Mistress Morgana, Rammus, Galactic Renekton, Swain, Warwick, Tundra Hunter Warwick, Viscero Xin Zhao, Taric, Emerald Taric, Armor of the Fifth Age Taric, and Bloodstone Taric in Patch 6.8 UFO Corki, Glacial Olaf, PAX Sivir, Lil' Slugger Trundle, Junkyard Trundle, Traditional Trundle, and Malzahar in 6.9 Buccaneer Tristana, Earnest Elf Tristana, Firefighter Tristana, Guerilla Tristana, Riot Girl Tristana, and Rocket Girl Tristana in 6.10 Bewitiching Nidalee, French Maid Nidalee, Leopard Nidalee, Pharoah Nidalee, and Snow Bunny Nidalee in 6.11 Ryze, Young Ryze, Tribal Ryze, Uncle Ryze, Triumphant Ryze, Professor Ryze, Zombie Ryze, Dark Crystal Ryze, and Pirate Ryze in 6.14 Prestigious LeBlanc and Spellthief Lux in 6.15 Barbarian Sion, Hextech Sion, Lumberjack Sion, and Warmonger Sion in 6.17 Yorick, Undertaker Yorick, and Pentakill Yorick in 6.18 Nightraven Fiora, Royal Guard Fiora, and Cottontail Teemo in 6.19

Most are absolutely stunning, and I think most can agree that all of them are at least improvements over the originals. I think that's so awesome. And those are just the redone splashes; they've been coming up with so many amazing new skin splashes as well!

Hmmm, I think you are forgetting that the splash art update team also works on the splash art for our new VGUs. The first project was actually Poppy's splashes.

You are missing splash updates for Poppy, Shen, Taric, Ryze and Yorick.

I wonder what the total number is from Poppy until today?

Yep, I forgot about those too, thanks! Added.

Looks like seventy-one redone splashes unless I counted wrong!

Sorry there arn't more Vlad coming. We may get to the rest of his splashes one day but that would be much later

Malicious Metal6 votes

Weird Question but is Lord Mordekaiser going to get updated or do we have to wait for his VGU?^^

RiotReav316 votes

His splashes will get updated with his VGU

Rude Name1 votes

A better question is: Who's splashes will never get updated?

Mistress Madoka2 votes

Mine

I've been wondering - are you planning on updating some of Annie's splashes in the near future, or are you happy with her Chinese artwork for now?

RiotReav37 votes

Annie is on our list, yes

Sahn Uzal2 votes

GP aswell, right? c:

RiotReav39 votes

Yes, of course. GP was a full VGU

The Cane Master1 votes

What about Nasus?

Moonboy653 votes

Nasus is on the list too

Is it true that Twitch is next and Karma is after? I'm especially excited for Karma.

RiotReav38 votes

That's the current plan, yes. Karma's will likely be awhile though since Warwick has so many skins and we aren't going to start on her until after WW.

Brutusness2 votes

Warwick should be coming out soon, yes? Do you think he'll be out before the next champion?

RiotReav311 votes

Things can always change of course, but as of now Warwick should be out after the next new champ. Assassins is the project that will be before the next new champ

I think I already asked this in one of my other comments but I can't fully recall, so I apologize if I'm repeating myself. Do you know whether (akin to the Nidalee and Shen splash art updates) Count Vladimir will reappear in the store for a time?

RiotReav35 votes

Currently there aren't plans to take these out of the vault temporarily since all his splashes weren't updated so it's not as big of a event. You can get them through hex tech crafting though as well as times we temporarily open the vault.

Great Muta2 votes

Is there a reason Black Alistar will never be available again?

And are you aware that out of 600-700ish skins, over 200 aren't available unless you do hextech?

Moonboy654 votes

Black Alistar was part of the Digital Pre-Order Edition back in 2009

Great Muta1 votes

Yep and is no longer available and has no signs of ever being available again.

Moonboy653 votes

It will still get a new splash art tho

JerulEon2 votes

How long does it take to create one splash and approx. how many hours of work?

RiotReav37 votes

There as a ASK Riot about this a couple weeks back. It takes roughly 4-6 weeks

Tomeksz3 votes

You guys scrapped that new Irelia base splash art? :(

redfeenix2 votes

Will you consider moving away from the "class" reworks, and look at updating champions that are related lorewise

eg

Ninja's rework(Shen, Ken, Akali) along with sick ninja lore. Order and Chaos: VGU of Morg and Kayle. They need the love visually, and kayle's a lil old now.

Also theres a category of champs in the healtyh/balanced playstyle, but old af textures/models. What is your stratergy for those champs.

EG: Chogath Karthus Jax Malphite Nunu Morgana Mordekaiser Maokai Orianna Swain Warwick

Have a good one pal, lets talk about something cool next time

RiotReav36 votes

Maybe one day but for now it makes much more sense to focus on a single class so that the team is focusing on the same problems and the updates can be paired with needed item/system changes.

Why wouldn't the priority be updating his classic splash art? Nidalee got all of her skins updated except for her classic one. Is Riot trying to incentive people to buy skins more if they can't stand the outdated classic splashes?

RiotReav34 votes

Vlads base splash is amazing. Why would we need to update it?

Because the new splashes are of significantly better quality
