I am pretty sure some others must have noticed this as well. and I know of at least a few. Garen Sivir Irelia JarvanIV Have weapons that don't accurately match their splash art. Garen 's Rugged Garen skin, the cross guard is different in game from the splash art. And forSivir Warrior Princess skin which is probably based on the Xena warrior princess show. The splash art weapon is completely different then the ingame one which is great. Irelia 's clasic skin doesnt have the gold inlane on the blades in game As well as her nightblade skin being the same as the classic, when the blades are different in the art. JarvanIV 's Darkforged's ingame looks nothing like the splash and the jewel is the red instead of blue in the spear

Maybe you've noticed something I havent yet? Maybe you know of some armor differences. Comment below and maybe we can get answers from Riot on this.

The characters you listed all have their Chinese splashes. Last year (or the one before, I can't recall) when they globally unified all splashes arts so that 1 designer in 1 location had to change 1 file to update the game worldwide, they choose the Chinese splashes as filler because they were newer and more closely resembled the more recent champs who got updated, plus, China has more laws regarding media depictions. They have been slowly passing through the game and updating some splashes, but as many of the champions require full VGUs, this is going to be a very long process. Of those on your list, Garen and Sivir were updated not terribly long ago, and so they are on the queue for a full blown revamp of all their splashes, like was done with Nidalee, Trundle, and Tristana. But again, it is a process, and will take a while. So if you see anime looking splashes, that's what has happened.

I have noticed that Jinx's tattoos are different in her trailer than in her splash art and in game model.
