Emumu Splash Art, Future Poppy and Tristana skins or Sad Tale?

(If this has been explained away before let me know, tried looking for info and couldn't find it)

Hey Guys, I made another league account to get back into the game without me dragging down other players. While I was trying to decide which champ to get next and looking through splash arts, I noticed the "Emumu" splash art! I have been aware of the changed splash art for some time now, but never paid much attention to the yordles behind Amumu. At first glance I thought the Tristana skin was one I never seen before ( I don't pay much attention to marksmen/adc role ) and the Poppy skin was "Noxus Poppy". I quickly questioned the idea of "Noxus Poppy" with "Emumu". After checking the splash to be safe, I saw that Poppy's hair ties and arm guards are different. I also couldn't find a image in Tristana's skins that match the "Emumu" splash art. Were/Are these New skins in the works or is it just me being hopeful?

That splash art is not actually a new splash art, its just the splash art that China made long time ago for their servers and now is being used by all the servers.

Since China isnt the one that makes skins or champions, they usually put things that arent correct in their splash arts... specially for yordles and Amumu in particular.

(For example, Amumu and the yordles have 4 fingers in general, but in the splash arts the chinese put 5 fingers)

So, Tristana and Poppy in that splash art are them with shadows.

So... Riot is not hinting a new skin for Poppy or Tristana in the splash art of Emumu or something like that, its just that the Poppy and Tristana that appear in that splash art are the old ones from the Chinese Servers.

Sometimes, Riot leaks skins in the splashes of other skins. But, looking at them, I think that it's probably nothing. I mean, the Tristana looks like she's playing a guitar, but has a bunch of rockets or fireworks or something strapped to her back. The Poppy looks like just normal Poppy, but recolored black and with drums in front of her. And Amumu is obviously Emumu, singing. I don't think they'd make another musical skin line, they already have Pentakill (the champions with Pentakill skins are in a heavy metal band called Pentakill) and they wouldn't add on to a skin line that hasn't seen a new release in as long as Pentakill has.
