Okay, so you mean to tell me that we went from this ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCqzIhu190Q ) that someone made a frigging hour long version of to this cartoon-y thing of Star Guardians that looks like it was drawn by a ten-year-old? Why the sudden quality drop? Did the main artists get super busy with school starting and have to go drop their kids off so they just told their kids "draw something with these characters and you get to be famous tomorrow"?

This photo has so many angry and blurred pixels. What the heck technique or style is this? Vaguely Van Gogh to my unpracticed eye; for all I know you made dots and dashes electronically to get it that blurry. I am only on a laptop and most of the time, the login screens look fine and dandy to me in high-res no less. This one? Come on, art team, step up your game again please. I wouldn't be so hard on you if I didn't think you weren't capable of producing more gorgeous art like Taliyah's that I still am frigging mesmerized by a year-and-a-half later. -.-

TL;DR: This login imagery is garbage compared to everything else you've made.

I think the art is pretty great.

The art is good, it benifits what they are selling, its an anime thus anime qualities

Theres a thing called 'different art styles'. Yes I know you are surprised but that stuff actually exists.

Well I can see that you're talking about it being more pix elated. but the whole image in the new one is all one image. so instead of it being on image of taliyah for example. its one complicated image that is panned to 5 rotations. so not only is it more art. it also had to be drawn 2d to look like the 3d inside of a globe. that alone is REALLY hard to do, (I'm an artist and I'm saying this btw). and the city scape and the background is super high quality. this image probably took at least 3 times longer to draw and animate then taliyah's did. don't diss this mastery of perspective art. the music I can agree is worse though. you got me there.

It's the same artstyle as the 2016 preseason login screen as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfQYTr7vso8

Go ahead and ignore the other champion splasharts released this year such as Xayah/Rakan's, Kayn's, and Ornn's which all have similar styles to Taliyah's.
