I GOTTA SAY when i saw it on the patcher i was like whaaaaaat. than i instantly feel in love with it. oh my god Riot's art team THANK YOU. she looks wonderful now.

i mean WOW just WOW she looks so adorable now. my hope in the poppy visual update has been restored if this looks this good. it's gonna take a while to get used to the change.

also does this mean new splash art because the current one is actually pretty damn good?

Do you now, as in your getting to her now that you are finished with Tristana.

Or do you mean now, as in you have been currently working on it

So since you guys are working on Tristana and Poppy is Veigar getting an update too? Right now he looks a little weird and dark(not in the good way).

Splash will be updated on top of the new splash to reflect the costume changes and some anatomy tweaks.

Glad you like her!

Will her eye color diversity be returning while it is on the PBE or is pink eyed Riot Girl a thing of the past?

Pretty sure if there's enough input on things like that they will change it, as they have done with many many skins/updates.5

I'm curious, did the people who worked on the latest splash know it would be quickly replaced? To me if I were in their position, it'd feel great to have worked on this great bit of art, but kinda suck only to find out 2-3 months later it was being replaced :/

@IronStylus I love the new Tristana visuals, but in my opinion her Rocket Girl skin has been ruined! She has lost her spiky hair and her blue eyes, and her weapon looks a lot more plain now, without the round metal part and the red gunsight! Also, her colors are oddly darker than before (both clothes and weapon). Is there any possibility for her model to slightly change and re-introduce these cool details that made her so special? I kinda feel that skin has lost her own identity... :/

Edit: more than darker, they just seem more "plain". I mean, the torso of the old model was darker, so the rest of the model (head and weapon) looked brighter. Also, the change to the red tone and the new main color of the weapon seem to have weighed down her model.

Can we expect to see a recolored version of her new splash for Riot Girl? or will Riot Girl get her own Splash art???

Yeah, I hated Tristana, but she's so fucking adorable now. I just wanna pinch her cheeks. And they actually gave her some personality too. Her new ability animations are awesome, and I'm loving that new E. I can safely say that Tristy has been successfully revamped.

Oh my god, she's so kyoooooot.

Riot, stop making yordles so adorable.

I hate when there are splash art/model differences...Soraka

There's likely gonna be new splash for Trist, despite the new one she got. It was made as a band aid for a bad base skin, to bring up the quality bar.

Ironstylus said that they plan to simply update her current splash to look more proportionally accurate to her new model and generally make it match up: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/WWhV5bBk-i-assume-trist-is-getting-a-new-new-splash-art . Think along the lines of how they Tweaked Wukong's new splash, and now have tweaked Ahri's new splash.

Is the outfit different? Never knew she wore a tank top. Also do all yordles have pointy ears?

Grouchy Poro8 votes

As of now, all yordles have pointy ears. Older yordles like Veigar break that rule but only because their models need updating.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

Do they have huge eyes too? She looks like an anime character instead of a hairy midget. I know the women are different than the men though.

Baron von Jiggly2 votes

they are trying to go for a more animalistic but at the same time humanoid look so i would think ig ears and eyes fit that perfectly

Chromatic Eagle2 votes

Yeah, but I think she looks different compared to Gnar. Not just talking about his fur.

Remlap12232 votes

Gnar is supposed to be a Neanderthal yordle. I assume the lost tail and extra finger was evolutionary.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

Idk. She's the first female who got an update right? Does that mean that Lulu will get one too? I keep comparing Trist to her, and I know most of the men need changing.

Aren't the fingers in line with all new Yordles? Gnar has 4 Fingers, Heimerdinger aswell and new Tristana, based on the ingame model, also seems to have 4 fingers. Overall the amount of fingers other yordles have is pretty inconsistent, but it feels Riot now decided on a number with their new iteration. I can't really see it from Tristana's new ingame model, but it looks (and I hope) like she gets a more animalistic nose, like most of the current male yordles. It bugs me that yordles have a different nose depending on their gender, so I would be quite happy if Riot readjusts that with the new Yordle iteration.
