Now THAT is what Wukong is supposed to look like.

ReazaleOct 31, 20143 votes

Agree, it looks WAAAAY better.

That is what Wukong DOES look like in game. The old new splash was like making Morg predominantly blue.

Maybe they will do the same for Ahri!

kitcat300Oct 30, 20147 votes

They are. The new splash was taken down from the pbe a few days ago.

Does Surrender At Twenty have the most up-to-date info concerning this? Sincerely hope they fix it as well as they fixed the Wukong one...

ModWulf HelhammerOct 31, 20142 votes

Yes. Surrender@20 is one of the best, if not THE best PBE update websites. The staff is also pretty awesome

But when they reworked Wukong's splash art, they didn't take it down and then bring it back, they kept it on the PBE until they updated it.

Ahri's was taken down, which probably means that they might not be keeping it.

I really like the new markings on his face. They make him look fierce!

The bushy eyebrows on the previous splash made him look like a panda. Nobody takes pandas seriously.

Nobody takes pandas seriously.

Until one's chewing your face off.

Man, pandas are going extinct because they refuse to eat anything except one particular plant their digestive system isn't designed to handle. Forgive me if I'm not very intimidated.

They're also going extinct because everyone loves pandas except for pands.

Like seriously, they won't fuck each other.

Sorry Riot, I disagree, this is how Wukong is supposed to look.

Up vote if you know what I'm talking about :)

SukishooOct 31, 20142 votes

THAT is the best wukong. I want it in the game NOW

ItzonOct 31, 20142 votes

I think most asians 20+ grew up knowing only this version of wukong

Wow the second one is so much better first one looks like Wukong after swimming in bleach.

kitcat300Oct 30, 20146 votes

I was content with the other, but this is a huge improvement. MonkeyKing

He actually looks like Wukong again! Amazing update. Here's hoping his splash isn't the only one to get some serious alterations coughJannacough.

cshakesOct 31, 20141 votes

Yeah, hers has got some more serious problems (coughanatomycough) going on, too.

exe3Oct 31, 20142 votes

I'm thinking more along the lines of dat face. >_< Why they felt the need to update the current art with something so shocking is beyond me.

cshakesNov 1, 20141 votes

Yeah, that too. The color scheme's a bit too cold for my tastes as well.

New one looks loads better. The old one looked like Jim Carry's The Grinch. Don't lie, you know it's true.

Cannot be unseen.

I Main SwainOct 30, 20142 votes

seriously, I was gonna die when I saw the original new artwork, looked boring, but now its actually pretty ballin! goes to show the power of color editing

Duke AnaxOct 30, 20142 votes

Yes! This looks so much more like Wukong, rather than some random ape monk. And I like the other tweaks they did to teh image.

VoidzillaOct 30, 20142 votes

Now it actually looks like Wukong. Ty Riot.

KairosCrowOct 31, 20142 votes

Oh, yes, THAT is the Wukong I know and love! I've gone from dreading the splash update to anticipating it.

Thanks for listening, Riot, and for making these changes. Awesome job!

A Rusty VentureOct 31, 20142 votes

It looks so much like Wukong now!Thank you based Rito.

junglerboy16Oct 31, 20142 votes

They fixed it? YES!

Tapu FiniOct 31, 20142 votes

Sooooooooo so so much better. So glad they heard us and fixed it.

Lumus AvatarOct 31, 20142 votes

Ok. I'm impressed. Bring it in, community; big hug. You've helped preserve the game we love by voicing your opinions and coming together as one. And Thanks to Riot for heeding their community's voice.

I'm all for the richer fur color, but... that face...

Face 1 = Young trickster warrior

Face 2 = I will eat your loved ones in front of you, split you open, and defecate them in your twitching body cavity.

I don't care for nostalgia or "model accuracy". The first new splash was just fine; all it needed was some color tuning. The second stands out like a sore thumb in a Chinese finger trap.
