Riot tries not to "change how players feel" about champions but then destroys their splash arts
Riot has always talked about trying to maintain champion perceptions when they apply updates, saying that they don't want to alter the way players feel about the persona in-game or in their artwork. There were actually several articles and posts that Riot made about the difficulty of this when they updated Fiora, and only a small minority really cared about Fiora's personality in that update.
So Riot has merged the art departments in what I can only hope will save enough money to make up for the loss of quality imagery in the game. Annie in Wonderland (my favorite skin) now looks like an anime character, and you can't even see Bunny Tibbers (the best part about the skin) in the splash art any more. On a side note, bunny teemo (my second fav skin) now looks like a terrible mockery of down syndrome children.
There's been a lot of people raging and leaving the game recently due to dynamic queue and champion balance, but I've tried to stick it out. I want to have fun playing this game, but now I'm starting to understand Riot's troubles with champion perceptions. If the new Taric update wasn't just around the corner, I probably would have already left after seeing Anime in Wonderland and Special Education Teemo. This game is providing less and less reasons for me to stay with it.
