He looks retarded. I'm not even just saying that, he looks freaking mentally challenged. Its not even cute its freaky and disgusting and looks nothing like his in-game model.

Tell me this http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/lollll/imgs/f/b/fb5f522e.jpg isn't better looking and cuter than that?

I swear that art is going to become the new old Lolipoppy. The old looks more realistic too, and not just the lighting but the costume. The new art is like its fused with his skin but the old looked like an actual costume. And his basket for mushrooms is just floating there, nothing to tie it down to him, and the carrot is just hanging there because carrot instead of to be a strap.

Side note: The old one is also wayyyy more detailed.

EDIT: There's a red tennis ball in the tree instead of a mushroom. rito? ???

EDIT 2: Now that I think about it, this splash reminds me of Meet the Pyro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUhOnX8qt3I

I like all of teemo's skins (I even have his omega squad skin) and I have 21.7k with him, does that make me more than a satanist?

The Soulforged2 votes

Yes.

Oh noooo, the splash art that only appears on the loading screen has been changed, now the model in-game will-

Oh wait. No it won't, the skin itself is still the same. Huh. Isn't that weird?

No fucking no fucking no. NO. NO NO NO NO NO. FUCKING NO. MY JIMMIES ARE OFFICIALLY RUSTLED. The splash art for this skin has always been my favourite, and I guarantee that if the splash was always in that iteration I would never have bought it. The old one has a very pastelly, very pristine feel that was unique. The style as well always stood out to me. But no, let's take away that uniqueness in favour of.... that bright and vivid eyecatcher. They're just going with whatever has brighter colours, flashier images, pristiner quality, without stopping to decide whether the change is needed. This is a shame and I sincererly hope that they don't go through with this change.

(Also, Musketeer TF- what the everloving shit is that?"

He looks retarded.

Its Teemo in a bunny suit, what do you expect?

Shroom Junkie20 votes

They didn't make the American splash art look retarded. So yeah I expect it to not look retarded.

The one you posted isn't even the Chinese one. http://lol.esportspedia.com/w/images/thumb/2/21/Chinese_Teemo_Splash_5.jpg/350px-Chinese_Teemo_Splash_5.jpg

The Chinese one at least LOOKS like Teemo. I don't even know what the fuck this new one is trying to be.

I don't know who in Riot decided that the Chinese should get any damn influence in the splash art, but-

Oh. Riot. That Tencent/Tenpenny/whatever shit. Riot, why did you have to sell out?

At least she just looks anime. This one looks retarded.

disregardable7 votes

It's cheap, ugly, and awful. It doesn't belong in the game. It doesn't look like Sivir. The teemo change is barely even different. The brighter colors make it look more like other splash arts.

Shroom Junkie6 votes

The old splash art looked just as bad. And the Teemo change is extremely different, his face puffs out and the suit is so thin it looks like its a part of him, the colors look so extremely crap, and in combination with the face that would scare little children he looks like some kind of spoof off of a children's book picture. Not to mention his ears, they just randomly turn to the side and look strange. And a tennis ball... why even?

It looks better than the NA warrior princess sivir.

Zamaje5 votes

I wish they'd keep the old one rather than changing it. The ears in the new splash look like they're made of that cheep shiny fabric that comes on really cheap costumes.

Supreme Senpai695 votes

I REALLY like the new background. I just...

why did they change the face? Now I'm glad I got the panda skin instead of the bunny one, even though I really wanted the bunny one at the time.

Rico Nasty5 votes

i fucking hate these splash updates.

Sassmast3r4 votes

The red mushroom could resemble drugs which could resemble death which theoretically resembles Satan which perhaps offends 10% of the population of China, so we changed the mushroom to a tennis ball.

Serge THE GREAT4 votes

He looks high. And I usually don't say that about a character's face. He actually does look high.

Ang4 votes

I like how more defined the background is, and the colors are popping much more clearly and its overall cute.... EXCEPT THE FACE why the face rito why

I think the definition in his face is crossing some uncanny valley. He looks way too human to be a hamster or whatever the hell teeto is Teemo should be cute!!! Not visually terrifying

Maybe if his eyes were open? Im like staring at these images trying to figure out WHY he looks so weird, I think it might be the cheeks I dont know, his bunny suit looks tighter on him, did he gain weight?

Tyermaillin4 votes

I agree, but don't you think there are better words to describe the splash other than retarded and mentally challenged? A little disrespectful imo.

JayHog19923 votes

You're being silly. The new splash art looks even cuter! :D

SlyTactician 16 votes

The colours are cute, yes. However, the face of Teemo doesn't even resemble himself anymore as the facial expression looks incredibly "derpy" and uninspired when compared to the original.

If the change must go through, I hope Riot at least fixes the face for Teemo. His head even appears to be sticking out at an odd angle from the costume in the newer splash as well.

JayHog19922 votes

To be fair, it's just the splash art that changes... Teemo's classic skin hasn't been touched since the BETA DAYS! T_T If they have to fix anything about Teemo, it's that... If not a total VU or something for him...

But nah, I like the new skin. The background even looks more joyful!

SlyTactician 7 votes

But Teemo's splash art has been changed since the beta actually.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/lolph/images/4/44/Splash_Classic_Teemo.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20120724001104

I agree that the background of the "new" splash looks nicer; however, Teemo's face hardly looks like himself as depicted in his current splash and the newer splashes he has received. Teemo It's the design of the champion's face and proportions that bothers me in the splash really.

JayHog19924 votes

It's not the splash art, it's the model. I have a friend that also plays Teemo and he complains that he "Looks like a fat potato."

LithiumWednesday3 votes

The splash changes were nice when they were updating splashes that actually needed updating... most of this most recent group has been absolutely ridiculous.

CodyBear 3 votes

China is offended with Teemo being cute.

Chaos Ascent2 votes

I actually love the touch ups to the background, the new background is absolutely gorgeous. But yea Teemo himself looks high as a fucking kite.

I posted this in another Cotton Tail Teemo thread:

There are three main problems with the new splash art for Cotton Tail Teemo.

  • First is that there is a serious counterbalance issue, it is super subtle but it is there. The angle at which Teemo's head is facing as well as its position appear as though Teemo is straining his neck to lean forward...which isn't natural, giving him a sort of "I'm totally high, dudes!" look.

  • Second is his head is shaped like a football. There's too much width and not enough height. While it is true Teemo's head oval shaped and not round, this rendition goes over the mark just by a tiny amount.

  • Third is his mouth. The mouth is much, much too wide. It needs to be reigned in by a lot.

To give you an illustration at what the above three corrections look like, I present you with the following image:

THE OLD ONE WAS SO CUTE!

The new once needs to be burned at the stake for public indecency.
