New Darius splash art inconsistent with his lore

I know this isn't the first time it's been brought up, but the new Darius flash art really only showcases one of Darius's aspects, strength.

But Darius isn't some moronic brute named Sion. He's refined.

His combat style is refined, his weaponry and armor are refined, his intelligence is seen in his political endeavors with Swain. His calmness is seen in the stories about his battlefield endeavors.

So why did we go from a splash art that showcased strength, calmness, and Darius's grim nature to a splash art that makes him look like a mad barbarian?

This skin splash shows a different aspect of his personality. He is a barbarian when he gets in his battle rage, they sre showcasing this here. Cmon when he dunks your entire team you know all he sees is red

The ability is "Noxian guillotine."

Not "DARIUS SMASH"

And his passive got renamed from bloodrage to Noxian might because of a very similar complaint.

No one is denying the strength aspect of Darius. Hence one of his abilities being named "Decimate"

But he's not a flailing idiot, as seen in "crippling strike" and the animation for crippling strike.
