Further more, they completely changed her facial features her face isn't the same.
Anatomy is really off as well. They give her wide large thighs and then a skinnygirl thigh gap. She's a big powerful muscular female, she's not going to have a big thigh gap characteristic of thin skinny girls less than half her weight.
The even worse part of it, that really puts a huge irritation on me is the outright removal of her dragon form which is a major part of who she really is in game and as a person.
Her current artwork she looks like she MIGHT have some sort of wings going on but in every other splash art, you can see in the background a dragon. Clear as can be, but her newest one? No dragon form. Just some "well those might be wings".
The splash art literally no longer reflects the charcter herself.
No longer shows off whom she is as a person, and her armor apperance, it no longer shows her dragonic apperance, and worst of all it's a very poorly done representation of a female character.
Shyvana is not a true dragon, and is primarily in a her human form a majority of her time, she is a human entity and even in the last quote from her in her lore she finds that her dragonic might has already been proven, she will be see what it takes to understand her human self.
"I have proven my might to the dragon kind what challenges will humans pose?"
I ask you again, how much do you really know about this character?
How much time and effort have you spent with her?
Shyvana isn't just a champion I pick at random, she's the sole reason I continue to play this game.
I gravitated towards Shyvana because she is so similar to me, because she is so much a reflection of what I've come to find pride in myself.
She's the spiting image of what I've believed to be right and just, the way those whom live life to find their selves in what they are and what their past made them to be.
Want to see a replacement splash that does charcterise and capture her well that isn't her original?
Check the attachment.
You also need to understand that Shyvana's look didn't change, just the splash art. Her ingame and old classic splash are still completely reflective of one another.
I've gone to the effort to switch all of the previous splash art occurrences out and return the old ones. The ones that actually look like her, and reflect whom she really is.
