Dear Riot, Some Thought and Questions on Skin Splash Art

This one has been in my doubt for a long time.

League has become a bigger game year by year. Professional matches were held on international levels. Whatever is in this game will be presented to the world by various means.

At this point, it is fairly important to make the visual part of this game look decent. Riot knew this very clearly, then we start having more and more visual updates.

Late last year, we experienced a vast wave of updates for classic champion splash art, some champion VUs, and a new SR. Let alone those awesome splash arts for new skins. How many of you are amazed by Winter Wonder Orianna and Blood Moon Elise?

Then, when i look at the brand new Blood Moon Bundle, something painfully caught my eyes.

Oh, my good old Shen, if only your Blood Moon splash art could be......newer.

Yes, I have no doubt that some people like that BM Shen splash art, and the artist had done a lot of hard work on that. Yet, when you put all the BM skin together, BM Shen just stood out so much.

I just cannot click that purchase button.

BM Shen is just one example. So many other old skin splash art are aging further and further as we speak.

So, dear riot, I rarely see any intention or planning from you guys to give new splash art to those old skins.

WHY?

Is there any drawbacks in terms of contract with the artists of those existing skin splash art? As splash art of classic skins are constantly being updated, I don't see that being a very big issue.

Yes, there was one time that you guys switch some old skin splash art with the ones being used in Chinese server. And why you think the Chinese company who runs LOL in China decided to make their own splash art for those old skins?

Obviously, the original splash art of those skins doesn't meet their standard. Skins, frankly speaking, are commodities to be sold for money. So they decided to wrap these commodities with more decent packages for better selling record.

And until now, Riot have not reverted those adopted Chinese splash art. Enough said.

Yes, I understand that Riot's art team have some many tasks at hand. I am not asking the art team to prioritize skin splash art update more than other tasks. However, there are so many good opportunities to tune up some particular skin splash art.

For example, BM Shen, again.

When skins of some certain theme have reached a certain quantity, say, 5 as a team, there comes the perfect timing to promote that theme as a brand. Atm, no other skin brands are hotter than Blood Moon, I must say. So, why not giving it a final touch by making a brand new splash art for BM Shen to wrap the whole thing up nicely? I don't know how exactly it might cost Riot, but I think it really worth the effort.

And again, this is but one example.

That's all I'm gonna say for this topic, and sorry about the wall of text. Please share thought, and hope for a Red Post with me.

Thanks.
