Cottontail Teemo Splash Art

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...

Got 200+ upvotes asking them to not bring it to live.

Another thread got 150+.

Many more threads got 50-100.

Rito does what Rito wants, I guess. Good thing I bought Omega Squad.

I 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 The old one was a masterpiece and definitely did not look outdated.

Yeah, I hope so too. It's very awful.

This 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.

Second 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.

Oh 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!

There 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.

This splashart is offensive. It needs to be changed back.

Because that patch came out on 4/20 and that the perfect face for 4/20.

I'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.

I still think this splash might have made a great april fools joke.

Senor Crouch4/21/2016, 3:27:08 PM3 votes

lol 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.

This artwork was done by someone who hates teemo!

WTF innocent? He is called Satan for a reason, and this art match that trait

cotton tail teemo was one of my favourite skins. Now it's like Lollipoppy.

Batty Blueberry4/22/2016, 11:03:06 AM2 votes

Yeah, 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.

Holy HELL that is terrifying.

That'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.

Cant 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.
