Regarding the new Champion icons: They look terrible when shrunk

Don't get me wrong, those new champ splash arts look great, and the icons are fine, but whenever I look at the bottom right corner of the launcher it just hurts me eyes trying to determine which 5 heroes are on each side. I've been hoping to find an extremely rare Elise sighting past few days. She seems to have ceased to exist in the eyes of the ranked draft gamers. Which is a shame, I really like her.

Here's an example: http://i.imgur.com/e3gLkCl.jpg

The pictures look a lot better than they did yesterday where there were a lot of little white speckles everywhere, but you can clearly see they aren't designed for this shrunk-down resolution. Your artists are probably more peeved than I am about this.

Also, if you're really awesome at this game and you're high ranked, please play Elise more. She's really upset. As you can see in the picture.

They also are extremely hard to read on the minimap. Ezreal is just this little smudge of colors, I had to press tab to figure out who it was, the other new splash arts have the same problem.

Sometimes I forget Elise has a pair of watermelons strapped to her chest. Poor girl, standing completely on the tips of her toes with a bosom twice the size of her head; I cannot imagine her back problems.

They look terrible period. They don't match the style of the in-game art whatsoever... it's like riot suddenly decided they hated cell-shaded art and are slowly trying to undo it. I can't even tell what the heroes are when I see the pictures, because look nothing like their in-game versions. The ezreal icon looks like some guy from soul calibur, not a champion from league.
