Questions for Reav3!!!

  1. Is Renekton getting new splashes for Rune Wars and Bloodfury as well or just Outback?
  2. Are Infernal Alistar and Grim Reaper Karthus included for the skin splash art updates?
  3. When Twitch and Karma are done, who do you want to get his/her skin splash arts next? (I personally want to see Sona next)
  4. Is Fizz gonna get a new splash art for the Assassin update? It just looks really outdated compared to the rest of the Assassins (bonus question)
  5. Is Morgana still included on the list?

Yes. Twitch is going to get a few splash art reworks. Yes

Moonboy651 votes

yup, there's a chance we might see him before Warwick

Erablier1 votes

You think after they finish with Twitch and Warwick they would be able to update some base splashes since Karma only has 3 in need of changes?

Moonboy651 votes

i doubt it, right now they are prioritizing skin splash arts for champions who have gotten a VU in the past

Raiokun1 votes

Dude, Karma got the biggest VU out of them all.

Moonboy651 votes

nope, Gangplank did

Jabalor1 votes

Regarding Runewars Renekton, any plans on updating the textures/model of the skin? Ever since the Shurima update this skin was left out, and its starting to seem outdated compared to the other skins

GaleWinUnleashed1 votes

Please revert Goth Annie's splash... Her face was ruined.

Moonboy651 votes

they are most likely gonna touch her face up when they get to Annie

Why isn't Cass on any schedule yet? She's been around for 6 years now, the only update she received was the swap with the chinese artwork which only serves as a temporary bandaid at best. At least her Desperada and Siren skins should receive new splashes, they're simply ancient.

Speaking of skins, it's been 3 years and 8 months since her last one (Jade Fang) came out - when will she ever get a new one? We've been waiting forever already.

Currently we are prioritizing champions that had visual updates as there splashes actually don't even match the new models. Not sure what the priority will be after that.

As for a new Cass skin, not sure. Champion Update doesn't make new skins. I would ask someone from the skins team.

Perhaps Sandstorm/High Command/Mercenary Katarina? ;)

Speaking of, why on this page is the background Katarina's first version of the new splash (extremely rough face) http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/katarina/

Looks goofy http://i.imgur.com/oZaktwN.png

if alien Invader Heimerdinger's splash art is going to change will the skin itself be revamped to fit its legendary title?

GreenLore1 votes

Likely not,as they usually only revamp skins when other skins of the same skin line are released or when the champion gets a visual update for his ingame model.

Not to mention that Alien invader is a legacy skin,so it is even more likely that it won't get an update.

Also Dreadknight Garen is on the list

*edited (thanks Ego!)

Also Dreadnaught Garen is on the list

I don't suppose Varus will make his way there sometime? Goodness knows his base and Blight Crystal splashes need a bit of a touch-up.

Imean, I hate to do this to A Rioter of all people but

Why is Goth Annie not being updated???????????????

RiotReav34 votes

Because that splash is newer and high quality. I understand some people don't like her newer face, and we may touch that up when we get to Annie (similar to how we touched up rocket girl Tristana), but we wouldn't make a brand new splash when it is already a solid splash.

Moonboy654 votes

i prefer a touch rather than a new splash for Goth Annie, she can keep her older face but with less makeup perhaps?

DwarvenGiant4 votes

This is a good idea, IMO.

Reav3, can you please elaborate on what exactly was wrong about the old sad face with the make up (and to who specifically, maybe)? I mean, maybe the old can be brought back and the unwanted parts of it could be removed (like Moonboy said- say, if the make up was the problem, it could be removed while retaining the sad expression, right?).

we may touch that up when we get to Annie

THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Rune Keg1 votes

Source of this list?

Are you sure Arcade Sona is on the list? She seems fine to me, although that may be because I was a huge fan of that skin.

Moonboy651 votes

yes, Arcade Sona is on the list

Ichiibaru1 votes

By the way, what do you think about Goth Annie? Everyone was pretty unhappy with the change to her face, are you guys thinking about addressing that?

Moonboy651 votes

i'm not part of Riot but Reav3 mentioned that when they get to Annie, they will probably touch her up (similarly to RG Tristana)

Gapybo1 votes

What is this list? It makes no sense. Why would Ashe need new splashes for Woad, Freljord, Queen and sherwood? She already got all of them updated with her VU and she had no other visual changes later on that would require updating her artwork. They are all up to date and look good. I'm guessing this is your personal list but stop trying to push for updates that are not needed at all.

Moonboy651 votes

this list is confirmed by Reav3

JayHog19921 votes

Kinda wished they updated Happy Elf Teemo, wanted to make it relatable to Happy Elf Tristana, not to mention it looks a bit old.

Moonboy652 votes

When they get to giving Teemo a VGU sometime in the near future, I'm sure that they will give a fresh new set of splash arts

JayHog19921 votes

Somehow, thinking of him getting an update scares me a bit...

With the Demon Teemo around, it makes me wonder how worse can Riot do to him.

Moonboy651 votes

He'll probably get a Miss Fortune level VGU

JayHog19921 votes

Just minor things... Fair enough.

Moonboy651 votes

either that or it's a bigger VGU

JayHog19921 votes

As long as it's not something worse... I mean, already have to deal with Omega Squad and Demon Teemo... Just no more hate with the visual thing, please... I want them to spare Teemo for once. :C

Moonboy651 votes

oh Reav3, speaking of Goth Annie

was there a reason for why her face got changed during the Global Splash Update? I think it was something along of the lines of: Voodoo censorship in certain countries

Ichiibaru1 votes

I guess it has something to do with the Chinese law (like you are not allowed to show skulls in your artwork). Maybe they really don't like goths.

DwarvenGiant1 votes

Honestly? I feel like Haunted Maokai, Sherwood, Freljord and maybe Queen Ashe's splashes, while not entirely modern, aren't outdated- They do represent the models very well and they have somewhat kept up with the years in terms of quality, since they were all done in late 2012, which was the time when Riot has started raising the quality and refining the style of their splash art, to the point where some (not all, obviously) are still keeping up, despite having a few small needs for perhaps some refinement. :P

Tesla Effect1 votes

Ashes splashes are pretty much updated when she got her VU, same with Kat. Even though they are not up the standards of current splash arts, they are still in a respectable level of quality.

Moonboy651 votes

@Reav3 I have one last question, is Haunted Maokai getting a new splash art?

Lùmen1 votes

Uhh.. Please don't touch Haunted Maokai. ty :)
