Renegade Talon's splash art is a mess and should be changed back to its original version.

I would like to propose that the Renegade Talon Talon loading and splash art be changed back to the way it was before.

I understand that it's been a long time since the change, but I think many Talon players would agree with me.

Here is** Renegade Talon ** (viewed through the LoLKing model viewer):

Talon in this form has the appearance of a young rebel or vigilante. He appears to have a somewhat more youthful appearance than in his default or Dragonblade skins.

Here is Renegade Talon's original loading art:

This art accurately represented the character's Renegade model. I would have had no problem with an update to it, but the new version that Riot Games apparently settled on is an absolute disaster.

Here is Renegade Talon's new splash art:

As you can see, it does not look anything like Talon. The character shown in the current Renegade Talon splash art has an "undead" or zombie appearance, with glowing eyes. He no longer appears human, his normal hand having even been replaced with a strange grey claw.

But that's not all. The artist even messed up the costume. As you can see, the bandana covering Renegade Talon's mouth and nose has a totally different look than the bandana seen ingame and in the prior splash art.

TL;DR: I find the current Renegade Talon splash art to be awful, Talon is my favorite character, and I use the Renegade Talon skin exclusively. Please change it back to the original art, or create new artwork. If this thread has been posted in the wrong section, I apologize and preemptively request that it be moved to the correct sub-forum.

It isn't accurate, but it looks cooler

there's a reason why it's using this splash, Riot wants to have content for all regions of the game, so that's why they had the Global Splash Update, I'm not saying that they used the Chinese art because it's better... no, it's because the art style is much higher quality than what we used to have (Toxic Dr. Mundo is a perfect example)

Are we looking at the same picture?

His splashes are due to be updated to modern standards. This isn't even artwork done by Riot and I'm pretty sure he will get his new ones soon.

The artist really dropped the ball on keeping the spirit of the skin. Talon is supposed to be a street smart rogue, not some zombie thing

talon as a whole is a thematic mess to be honest.

You want a stealthy assassin, but put a bunch of clinking metal tips on the end of his cape.

They sure wouldn't hear you coming..
