New Splash Updates Are Awful

I completely understand wanting to have a universal look for a champion and skin (shouldn't have allowed different servers to change it in the first place) but these Chinese splashes are so two demensional. I love the idea of having some of my older skins splashes updated but if it's to those , then I'll stick to the old Sun Goddess Karma. The point of this is to have a common ground and to up the quality of these splashes but having an anime version of a champ is not an update.

Karma's new splashes look like 2 different people cosplaying her, they don't look like her at all.

that goes for new champ splash art as well... I mean look at victorius sivir she looks nothing like she does in any of her other splashes... She literally looks like a chick from Hollywood with a botched plastic surgery

Lol oh dear, I see what you mean though. I'd like to see champs look more consistent, unless there's a reason for them not to.

Some of the Chinese splashes look great, others look absolutely awful. All of them don't fit the current art style Riot is going with. Some are way too detailed, others look like something straight outta DeviantArt.

Also, WHY SO MANY BRIGHT SPELL EFFECTS!?

Funny thing, the characters around the Masquerade Evelynn splash art are literally from Tolkien's Quenderin alphabet.

I would give the translation, but it's gibberish.

Ok but you're right

Some are so awful

LOOK AT FIORA, SHE LOOKS HIDEOUS

This batch is definitely not nearly as necessary as the first batch.

Caitlyn's "new" splash is AMAZING, though.

But Eve's are terrible. :(

I'd say some look much better than the previous ones(all karthus skins,frozen nocturne,etc.),but some don't look that good.

And well there are some that do look better than the original,but still not that good(like vancouver amumu,i don't like the new splash art,but the old one looks even worse)

However a lot of the chinese ones have a rather anime-like style,which clashes with the rest of the splash arts,I'd say it comes down to personal opionion if the different art style is acceptable or not.

And then there is toxic mundo,who is well drawn,looks so bored that it makes the splash kinda awful,but his old one looked kinda awful already,so I dunno what is worse....

Some are worse but there are a few that are great improvements in my opinion, namely, Both Caitlyn's, all MF's (was sad bout RW but the new ones growing on me), Tempest Janna, Silverfang Akali, and Infiltrator Irelia to name a few.

... but still. Toxic Mundo (shivers)

Keep Midnight Ahri, Gentleman Cho, and Stinger Akali the same... All of them are downgrades from what we have now.

Amumu's splashes are WAY too cartoon-y

I hate the Karma splash updates, these show off her fans and her dress off more.

Both of which she doesn't even have anymore.

Some of the skins won't be permanent, they could be replaced when riot gets to them. They are still working on updating the splashes right now, these are just temporary fixes.
