Can you please show a little Love for the Akali Splash Riot?
Even if you don't wanna do this Riot can you at least acknowledge this by saying a little "no" or something in the comments?
Tristana got a new splash not too long ago and now she is getting hers updated again with her new VU. In addition, when the new Ahri splash first came out on PBE the Ahri fanbase went insane with the basic reasoning of "We can't fap to her bewbs anymore wtf Rito." and just spamming that over and over again. The splash was then instantly canceled and redone. Now, many Ahri fans are still not satisfied with the new splash so as compensation you are giving them a new Ahri skin. Would it honestly be too much to ask for a 15 minute edit on Akali's splash?
The Akali fanbase was pretty vocal about not wanting the new splash. When you first asked us what we wanted in the new Akali splash long ago I think we made it apparent that the one defining feature we wanted in her new splash was her sideboobs. Thread where Riot Silver asked us for feedback on a new Akali Splash: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=39535311#39535311
I mean at some point while working on the splash you had to have realized that you needed to keep the sideboobs somehow. When the splash first came out on PBE a lot of people made threads requesting Riot to take 15 minutes to fix her sideboobs. Here are two:

Both had 400+ upvotes and they were not given any attention whatsoever despite being on the first page for weeks. We weren't even raging at you to do a complete redo most of us, myself included, were happy with the new splash but were unsatisfied with that one small part that could be easily fixed. It seems really unfair that you would do a complete redo for Ahri because the Ahri players screamed at you whereas you wouldn't even edit 1 single thing for the Akali fanbase who didn't really even have a negative thing to say towards you.
I don't even want her sideboobs back so I can "lelelelelel fap to them" I just want them back because that was her defining feature and the new splash really took that away. It's like taking away the knifeboots from Master Yi. You just should not do that. We aren't asking for much at all and with all the new splash updates coming out I don't think it would be too much of a hassle to do. Please take this into consideration for the Akali fanbase Riot. Thanks.
Edit: Since everyone keeps saying the same thing over and over again.
They weren't her only defining feature. They were one of the most iconic parts of her character. If you look at the feedback thread I posted it was basically unanimous that the sideboobs needed to stay. How would that not be considered iconic? Go ask people what the firsts thing that pops into their mind when they hear the words "Iconic part of Akali" and listen as almost all of them say sideboobs.
Look at the other 2 threads I linked. 400+ upvotes on each one and those are only 2 of the many threads made. I don't think you can really argue they weren't a big part of her character and needed to be removed.
