Why was there a change to the Cottontail Teemo splash art? The previous art was so nice and captured Teemo's innocent image so perfectly. The new image makes Teemo look like a baked pedophile in all reality. He also has an awkward hand that no longer holds an egg, which doesn't even make sense. The new art style looks wretched compared to the previous one. Please change the art back...

Another thread got 150+.
Many more threads got 50-100.
Rito does what Rito wants, I guess. Good thing I bought Omega Squad.
SlyTactician 7 votesI really hope this change is reverted. The original Cottontail splash was a masterpiece...and to see it replaced by this piece is just sad. Teemo's face in the new splash doesn't even look like Teemo with the odd proportions, questionable expression and the lop-sided head that literally looks like it's falling off Teemo's body.
It's odd how Riot didn't make mention of this despite how many threads were put out about this issue weeks prior- I just hope it's reverted like the Akali splashes. Even the original Chinese Cottontail Teemo splash is better than this replacement.
Blakiepug3 votesI know right. But we can't give up.
Keep making new threads until they respond! #SAVE COTTONTAIL TEEMO 2016
Blakiepug16 votesI really wish Riot would respond to us on this. I've been very active on all of these threads asking Riot not to change the Cottontail Teemo splash but they don't get any notice. The newer art is a clear downgrade in quality and it bothers me that anyone would ever say otherwise. The old one was a masterpiece and definitely did not look outdated.
GaleWinUnleashed1 votesThe old one actually does look outdated, but in such a nostalgic way that this change is awful. The pastel art style just fits him so perfectly that this other style looks incredibly weird.
Jaliyah Tungle11 votesYeah, I hope so too. It's very awful.
Doctor Dyment8 votesThis is a rather un PC comment to say, but it honestly look like Teemo has a mental deficiency. Like autism or mental retardation. Before he was cute, but now he looks... off.
SlyTactician 2 votesThis is the biggest problem from my viewpoint as well...Teemo's face looks extremely off and designed at an unprofessional level. It baffles me how this piece made it through considering how iconic Teemo as a champion is. Sure, it's an old skin; however, the original Cottontail Teemo splash was extremely memorable and the skin itself is even recognized by Rioters to being a skin consisting of a global taunt due to how well know the skin is.
Despite that...this splash looks poorly made. I just can't help, but notice how it looks like Teemo's head is about to fall off his body in that suit considering how lop-sided his head appears to be. If Riot really has to replace this piece...I'd rather take the actual Chinese splash over this one if the western one can't be used - at least that piece depicts a character that ACTUALLY looks like Teemo.
If Nightraven Fiora skin's splash could be reverted along with the Akali splashes...I sure hope this one gets reverted as well. It's really off putting to see when compared to the rest of the Teemo skin splashes at the moment.
Maratsune7 votesSecond this. I came to say this. This is my favourite Teemo skin, the one I always use, and now I just straight up don't want to use that skin anymore. In-game is cute and all, but the splash has always been one of my absolute favourite in game. The pastels and style were beautiful, and in changing it they took away the best part of the original splash. I'm still upset about my Karma splashes, but at least I have OotL. Teemo? Kind of ruined.
DWlGHT K SCHRUTE6 votesOh gosh it's horrible I just got in an ARAM and got Teemo (yep gonna have some fun :P ) When I saw it I was like OMG ITS TERRIBLE. Teemo's head isn't even round (more like a Stewie Griffin head-lemon head) and he looks like he is a drug addict with them circles around his eyes O.o
You could have just touched up the original art, which was AWESOME, to provide more clarity!
Neamean4 votesBecause that patch came out on 4/20 and that the perfect face for 4/20.
Troll Armada4 votesThis splashart is offensive. It needs to be changed back.
King Schwadder4 votesThere is noo way the art department approved this. This is just insane. Please can someone Photshop a joint into his mouth or hand, this would be really fitting for this splashart. He literally looks high lol.
Ethyreon3 votesI still think this splash might have made a great april fools joke.
Senor Crouch3 voteslol Wow, they actually implemented this splash art? They won't give Graves a cigar, but are totally fine with making Teemo high. I thought the whole idea behind updating splash art was to make the champion in question look and feel cooler, better quality overall. Guess my assumptions were wrong. The splash art department has really let itself go.
I Am Abømination3 votesI'm not big on skins, but this one was my favorite. My friend actually gifted it to me as a present when he heard I got engaged to my now wife. I was so happy. Now I can't even stand to look at this garbage splash art. It looks so awful. How ANYBODY could think this was an improvement in the slightest is beyond my comprehension. Riot has been continually ruining the splash art for many of the default skins over the past year, but this one is just an absolute tragedy. Truly boggles my mind how anyone would let this go through.
Troll Armada2 votesThis artwork was done by someone who hates teemo!
ImYourAngel2 votesCant image why they even change cottontail teemo skin in the first place teemo now look like an weird old man teemo. I'm about to cry I'm a teemo main and have this skin now it look so bad.
LeegIsASin2 voteslooks like a 4/20 joke kappa

The previous art was so nice and captured Teemo's innocent image so perfectly.
WTF innocent? He is called Satan for a reason, and this art match that trait
Dr Poro2 votescotton tail teemo was one of my favourite skins. Now it's like Lollipoppy.
SettDownShutUp2 votesHoly HELL that is terrifying.
TheOvermind2 votesThat's the story with groovy zilean, half the shaco splashes, annie splashes, and some others as well. The community begged for them not to change them yet they went through.
Batty Blueberry2 votesYeah, this was my fav Teemo skin but now I won't be using it. The expression is... unfortunate... and overall it's just bad. If they're going to pull this crappy re-work on splash art (looking at you, Sun Goddess Karma), then they should let us refund the ones they insist on butchering.
DWlGHT K SCHRUTE1 votesOh ya and while we are at it.. PLEASE NEVER CHANGE TEEMO'S VOICE, DANCE, OR ANYTHING INSIDE THE GAME. If you want to add more emotes then fine.. but plz rito!
We have enough extras now with all of the skin voices and things like that.. its perfect don't mess with perfection :) oh and put the cottontail art back lol.
Nice Fellow1 votesHe looks blazed out of his mind
KingsFury1 votesIdk if riot is blind or something. That skin officially make Teemo a 70 years old grandpa with rabbit costom.
Anníekím1 votesI CANT BELIEVE THEY DID THIS... :( Cottontail teemo is the first skin i was ever given in my lol-life and it was so special to me I can't believe they replaced this masterpiece by this troll-face... For real I almost cried when I entered in loading screen and saw the disaster...Pleaseeeee bring my baby back :((((((
