@Riot : What about skin splashes?

Silven··1 votes·1,181 views

Hey everyone,

This has been on my mind for a bit and I can't recall anyone at Riot making an official statement yet, so I figured I'd ask, myself.

As you know, a great many of champions have been getting base splash art updates to kinda freshen up the look of champions released a good while ago. Sadly, these changes only concerned the base splashes and any skin splashes apart from Classic skins have not been getting an update, causing a certain disparity between the now new base splash arts and all the other (old) ones a champion has.

Now I know that it takes a while/resources to get these things done. I'd just like to ask if there is word of a project to update skin splash arts aswell and, if there is, when the community can expect to see the new goods. End of the year? Early 2015? Just a rough estimate, if there is any at all, and if not, why is that? I mean, Twitch, for example, has quite a few splash arts now that really look nothing like his current in-game model and that's a bit of a shame. Of course, Karthus and Sion are also some good examples for that.

Just hoping to get a heads-up from you guys in the art department!

Sincerely, Silven

If i remember correctly,they said that they are focusing first on the classic splashes and THEN they'll focus on the skin-splashes

Well, just think about all the champions that have new splash arts (on the PBE) by now. There's a whole lot! And most newly released champions don't need new splash arts.

I don't know all the numbers, but if I had to guess, it'd seem to be like a good 60-70% of champions have recent splash arts/splash arts that don't need updating by now, so I'm wondering when they'll be done with replacing the base ones. Shouldn't be too long right?

Many have already updated or recent splashes,but there are still many who have rather old splashes(and as rengar proves even champs with season 2 splashes aren't safe)

I want to know this too! I posted on the old forums and never got a response about it.
