This is gonna be some ultra mega splash considering everyone's got their own individual spots, but are also interconnected in the image.

I loved what they did for the PROJECT splashes, and it's good to see them revisiting the concept here.

Wasn't that made by community request after the individual splashes came out?

The splash was designed as a group splash from the beginning, and they just released the full version upon request.

.. Not really a fan of Sejuani's splash here. She looks weird, while in-game model looks great.

also why is sej an elf...isn't that ashe's perogative, given that she's based off drow ranger?

CarameI Frappe1 votes

Taric also has an elf skin, but I think it has more to do with the theme of their persona than their weapon / class. Regardless, I believe Sej is an elf because in World of Warcraft you could ride a mount as an elf, and the lion was no exception.

doombotMECHA1 votes

I'd a little confused. you could ride mounts as any class...

but I guess if we're sticking to the public domain magical races of men, elves, and dwarves then we don't have much choice

These art great and all but...isn't it a bit hard to tell what you're getting with Sej given how cluttered her splash is? Without looking at some screenshots it's quite the shot in the dark, aren't splashes supposed to show off what the skin looks like to a degree?

Sexy Jack Rabbit4 votes

Anybody else notice that Sejuani is receiving the Ezreal 750 skin treatment but to an even worse degree? Like even he has his Ultimate skin as well as a 1350. Not too mention Sejuani once again looks atrocious in any group splash art.

Those are seriously awesome. Thanks god for no big shared splashart where X character gets 1/10 of the art space.

Yet, this is a full party splash and I'd love to see them combined.

No, I love the Jayce skin so much. I just have never got into him, I'll probably try him out.

Stars Shaper2 votes

Well, now the meta favors him a lot so it's a good time to get an easy grip on him. The only thing is that you have to be in ranged form for a lot before you can all in.

I bought Jayce, did well and enjoyed it. HALP

Give the skin to Taric. The actual Paladin archetype.

Or Garen. The epitome of LG in design.

Except for Sejuani, who is sharing fully half of her splash art with Jayce. And it requires both Jayce and - as a result - half of her to be blurred to be even be able to tell it's supposed to be a Sejuani splash art -.-

Stars Shaper5 votes

What bothers me is her expression, it should be more... into it... I guess?

Corriandr3 votes

That too. I already created a post about this exact thing before I saw this one. Compared it to Beast Hunter. That this happened twice is disturbing. She should be in the front, leading the charge, as she does in game. Instead, it looks like she's the one being protected, when it is HER that protects THEM in game.

CarameI Frappe3 votes

I made a thread saying the same thing, and I got downvoted for it ... yet all the posters are agreeing with me. What is this community man ........ ahem Seriously Riot please fix Sejuani in this splash, least make her look epic / excited. Why is she always being screwed over in the latest splashes?

doombotMECHA3 votes

because god forbid semi-squishy mid-range captain male power fantasy not be front and center

The Blue Rajah2 votes

You know that's not why right? It's because of bristle. If they put her in the foreground, bristle will be taking up a significant chunk of space, and they want to use that space for more champions. Does that mean it's fair? No, not really, she should get the spotlight sometimes regardless. But it's not some agenda they're pushing, it's composition.

CarameI Frappe1 votes

Can't see why they couldn't have Bard and Jayce on the mount posing alongside Sejuani. I mean, her lion is big enough for 3+ people so they could totally make it work if they wanted to. Only, they seem to be dissing Sejuani in the last 2 splashes so it's pretty unfortunate how things turned out.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

This isn't true in the slightest. Composition does not have anything to do with what is and is not obscured in an artwork. You can have the main aspect of a portrait be the most out there feature and the finished result will compose fine. Spacing in Artwork is not a concern unless you're actually working within restrictions, and considering the size of Jayce's hammer and the portion of the Splash he takes up in regards to Sejuani there were very little restrictions in the piece. Take the monster hunter splash for example, the Monster takes up about 70% of that splash art. If they were really concerned about wanting to use the space effectively that would have been the case. It has nothing to with Riot trying to shift perspective, focus or set some sort of composition, it's literally to portray a masculine power fantasy.

GreenLore3 votes

Oh my seperating the group splash into 3 splasharts is actually a pretty cool idea,that way everyone can have their own splash,while also having a group splash at the same time.

Sexy Jack Rabbit1 votes

The only one that was separated was Bards. Jayce and Sejuani share one with Jayce's taking up 60%.

GreenLore1 votes

There's a bit of every champ in every splash.

In Bards you can see Jayces head on the bottom left and above him you can see Sejuanis package

And you can also see Bards leg and his horn in the top left corner of Jayces/Sejuanis splash.

In general this is basically one big group splash where they cut out the 3 sections of the champs. Its not perfect(like many pointed already out,Sejuani is a bit out of focus),but I think it is a step in the right direction.

Bot Lane will be like: Draven Draven Bard Bard

Sukishoo2 votes

Now to wait for Karthus and Maokai... they are the only two missing splashes.

Ralanr1 votes

Sweet.

GreenLore1 votes

I just noticed that Karthus isn't in that splash,so I guess that he'll get his own splash(not that surprising considering his skin is more expensive).

Also I guess that Karthus being called "lightbane",he might actually serve as the antagonist of the skin-line(or the game-master)
