We are currently working on all of these except Rocket Girl as that one is actually pretty good.

Rocket Girl is still not as accurate as it could be, even for a splash art. I think it is actually worth updating, despite it being in fairly modern quality and fitting with some of the actual, up to date in-game/model design. After all, Tristana is no longer a megling. She's an actual yordle now, and even if in the splash she still wears the same/similar clothing she's wearing in her updated model, it does need to represent her being a yordle in a proper way, at least in my opinion.

Updating that would be time they weren't working on another splash that needs it, though. What splash should they skip to do this? Considering it's pretty okay in execution and accuracy, I really don't think there's enough value in updating it to merit canceling some other splash.

Perhaps you're right, there's probably more value in moving on to update other splashes that need it more. I'd still love Rocket Girl Tristana's splash to get an update in the future though. :P

While Rocket Girl isn't perfectly accurate it's still kinda close at sort of a halfway point between smurf-Trist and new-Trist.

I really think updating things like junkyard Trundle should take MUCH higher priority than Rocket Girl Tristana.

I agree with you, but the background might like an update/change.

Hey that's awesome! https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/89924/1.0

While I can see why Rocket Girl wouldn't need a whole re-do... It'd STILL do something about the ears on it. They are a bit too off for me.

But it's still awsm news

Or let me put it like that, it's already the worst Tristana skin ingame, and now it's also going to be the worst on the splash art. You can literally throw this skin away.

Yordle XayahApr 13, 20161 votes

The more I think about it, the more I think Rocket Girl isn't as accurate as I originally thought. I've already mentioned the ears, but then there's the 5-finger issue.

And when I compare it to the old Battle Regalia Poppy, it's somewhat in the same position. That old Poppy splash wasn't bad, but it wasn't good enough either and it was changed in the end.

Rocket Girl may not be as dated as the others, but I'd still do something about it.

Heard load and clear. We will be making some small edits changes to Rocket Girl Trist splash for the Tristana Splash update.

The new Splash Arts just got posted by Moobeat (surrender@20), and I just wanted to thank you for the amazing work on all of them, and for keeping up with our feedback for Rocket Girl <3

Glad you like them! Your feedback helped us catch the 4 fingers vs 5 fingers!

GreenLoreMar 25, 20164 votes

They actually said that Tristana is one of their current top priorities for updating skin splash arts.

Yordle XayahMar 25, 20161 votes

Oh really? About time! Where did you see this? dweebs https://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/emoticons/v1/89924/1.0

When Shen got his visual update,they made a small devblog about updating the skin splash arts of the champs that got already updated and said that they want to give every champ who received a VU new skin splash arts.

They later clarified here on the boards that when they started the project to update skin splash arts,they did it kinda unorganized(thats why we got new vandal brand,assassin&chosen yi and jade dragon wukong splash),but now they focused on the updated champions and chose Trundle and Nidalee as their top priorities. Trundle because there is a very big difference between his old skin splash arts and their models Tristana because Riot girl tristana is the first skin for many people Nidalee because when the skin-splash art project was unorganized they did already a lot of work on Nidas splash arts,so Nida is already rather close to completion

However they also said that they'll release updated skin splash arts for each of these champions at once,so we'll have to wait till all the tristana splash arts are done(though the ones of the others can come in different patches)
