There are three main problems with the new splash art for Cotton Tail Teemo.

  • First is that there is a serious counterbalance issue, it is super subtle but it is there. The angle at which Teemo's head is facing as well as its position appear as though Teemo is straining his neck to lean forward...which isn't natural, giving him a sort of "I'm totally high, dudes!" look.

  • Second is his head is shaped like a football. There's too much width and not enough height. While it is true Teemo's head oval shaped and not round, this rendition goes over the mark just by a tiny amount.

  • Third is his mouth. The mouth is much, much too wide. It needs to be reigned in by a lot.

To give you an illustration at what the above three corrections look like, I present you with the following image:

This picture is awesome! I don't understand why Riot can't just take art suggested by the community and instead makes their own awful concepts and then act like it takes an enourmous amount of efforts to create a splash art. If the community already does a better job, why not use their version?

Please fix the face. The attitude and the look of the original depicted a more care free "innocent" Teemo running around. The updated splash just makes him look goofy. Now overlay sounds of goofy trying to talk, you get my point. I don't play Teemo for the kit, I play Teemo because of the art/skins that he has.

To be honest, I'd be happy if they at least "photoshopped" the original Cottontail Teemo face and placed it over the new splash with some colour modifications to match the new splash.

As much as I adore the classic look of the original splash, if Riot really wants to change it - the face is the main issue I have with the newer splash. His eyes look extremely baggy and the smile just looks disturbing when comparing it to Teemo's classic appearance. The skin is meant to have a cute appearance - and I really don't think it does a good job at representing that. Even the Chinese splash for Cottontail Teemo has Teemo's face look much more identical to the original splash than this new one...

The hoodie of the bunny suit also doesn't appear proportionally right to me...however, I'd be happy if Riot at least modifies his face for the timebeing in the new splash.
