Sashimi Akali Splash

Displeased that they got rid of Akali's smile. Hopefully they change it back before reowrked Panth is brough to live. It's not a huge deal but I liked the old Splash (at least Akali's portion) better. Obvs I know Baker Panth's splash is gonna be updated, it's just the Akali portion I dislike.

This is the original Sashimi Akali https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Y5_fIRISM2Y/hqdefault.jpg (pre Akali rework)

Then it was updated to this https://www.mobafire.com/images/champion/skins/landscape/akali-sashimi.jpg (Akali rework)

Now it would become this https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ea/Akali_SashimiSkin.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190729171817 (Pantheon rework)

Notice in each version Akali's expression is different. The smile was only introduced during the first edit that came with Akali rework, as in the original version Akali looks rather alerted for some reason.

The evolution of Sashimi Akali, I guess.

I do think the 3rd one is okay. Since Butcher Olaf has always looked like he just brought the freshly chopped T-bone onto the table and Akali quickly gives it a quick glance, where the original made the glance a bit too intense for some reason, the first edit made it seem like Akali was too absorbed in her stuff, while the final edit does a good job of illustrating the initial intended action of the scene.

Though for some reason in the newest version the lighting on Akali seems off, it's weirdly dark and she's in fact standing in a shadow even when the light is just above her. Hopefully they'd fix that before going live.

The second and third Akali you've linked are the exact same. It's just the quality of the image, nothing to do with image's composition or lighting changing.

They aren't.

Pantheon's clothing clearly changed, since it's updated as per Pantheon rework; and Akali's expression is changed between 2 to 3, her chopping board returned to the state of 1 where you see only a few pieces go flying when she chops it unlike in 2, and either the camera is panned differently or they increased the volume of her hair but if you compare the top right corner of the 2 pictures you'd also see a slight difference.

Really liked pre-pantheon (2nd) more! A shame they removed the stuff she was cutting flying everywhere since she doesn't focus on it anymore. Looks like she is cutting nothing to me on the last change, a bit weird.

I liked that it took away her annoyingly-smarmy look, but it kept her smile. It's still not the silly frown that she had pre-rework.

She looked way weird in that one after her update, they got it good with the Panth update.
