Skt Loading screens- some fall short

I love the skins themselves but i have an issue with a couple of the splashes, namely Nami's especially. I mean if you look at Syndra or Olafs loading screens you get a sense of power an greatness, that loading screen gets you hyped and they look amazing but then you go over to see Nami and Ekko and they are just lackluster. you don't get a sense of the greatness of the skins themselves. The overall image of all of them together looks great but individually some fall far below the line again Nami being the one that falls well below the line of them all. as someone who frequently plays Nami and is really looking forward to the skin in genaral i was really dissapointed seeing this. Anyway thats just my 2 cents i couldn't help but give it a mention.

Agree! Nami's loading screen is pretty underwhelming, probably because you can't see much of her staff and tail, but I doubt that riot will change her pose, since it fits so well with the rest of the splash. My suggestion would be to add some (golden) water under her, to fill this big empty hole in the left corner. This would also result in her looking more powerful. As for Ekko, I have no idea what could help here...maybe add some magical, red particles?

100% Agree. The SKT Nami splash art has none of the beautiful colours present in the skin, and a huge amount of negative space. It is overall very beige, and looks boring compared to the other splashes. I think part of it is because of how they isolated each champion for their own splash art. If you look at the splash of everyone, they're layered and it's a very interesting composition. By removing the champions around them, it becomes dull. I was hoping to pick up the skin for the cute recall, but the splash puts me off completely.

Not gonna lie nami looks horrific in her loading screen. like damn son give us some staff or tail or something. Ekko is ok tho jhin needs some work done on his traps tho. these arent worth 1350

Syndra's loading screen looks like Kalista.

I feel like the quality of these splashes look dated.

Its kinda sad they put less work into the splash art backgrounds and champion details than a 2010 skin, especially in nami and ekko's case. Something else that could be causing this is the fact there is no other SKT skin in the background faded out, like even SKT azir's splash looks really good because there's elise and ryze filling in the background.

None of these skin splashes scream "SKT" either like last years.

Last year I was willing to spend 975 for all the skins as even the alistars looked good both in the splash and in-game... these just feel half done and I don't think I'd buy any of them except syndra only because I play her and maybe zac because his options are limited when it comes to skins. Not worth spending 1350 on skins that were worse than last years. (I'm not even impressed with their particles except for syndra and jhin, and maybe nami in-game is pretty good.)
