ARE THESE ACTUALLY COMING OUT ? These splash arts look amazing, are any of them coming to NA? I know Aznbeat posted them and she helps facilitate S@20 so I am really hoping they are :D.
Can a Rioter discuss these updates with us? And what regions they will be show casing in?
(these are NOT splash art updates to match the skin in game.)
As I mentioned in another thread, I hope they don't go through with Karma's splash. I do admire them for attempting to correct her skin color as she was originally white-washed in all of her Chinese splash art but it's a poor attempt as the updated version looked more like she got a bad sun burn.
I seriously hope the Fiora splash art change doesn't go through - the quality of that splash is not up to par at ALL with her current one.
I like a lot of them... And to be perfectly honest I'm not usually one to complain about this sort of thing. I don't consider myself particularly sensitive, and I generally feel that attempting to decide what other people should find offensive is something to be looked down on...
But I really just think that Sun Goddess Karma's current splash art:

is more appropriate in terms of not being racist and sexist, and it also better fits the theme of the skin compared to what we're getting:

(Though at least it's not the massive whitewashing from the current Chinese splash):

(I edited to change the word "but" to "and" because that's a better phrasing)
Some of these are an improvement, but others really miss the mark. The Ahri changes make me sad for Kienan Lafferty.
I'm still salty about losing NA Blood Moon Akali.
I'm not a fan of changing LordeKaiser's splash to the chinese version seeing that it's too bright and has too much gold in it.
Chinese Garen's Splash is terrible and i hope it wont go through.
I'm guessing you missed the PBE post. They're unify splash arts around the world.You know have a number champs & skins have their own unique splash in China that different for the one in the rest of the world.Now they're going to hammer down on the differing splashes by picking one that best fits the champ or skin.Meaning that we're getting some of the Chinese splashes & China will get some of ours.
Please note that these are NOT splash art updates to match the skin in game.
I really like the new Midnight Ahri, but I'm not sure on where I stand with her Dynasty skin...
Most of them are really good except Annie's.(too much kawaii) But damn, look at that nightraven fiora tho
I agree with a lot of them, the only exceptions being nightraven fiora and the changes to the karthus splash. The Chinese version of night raven fiora looks like something an edgy teenager drew in math class instead of doing their work, way worse than the NA version which I think depicts fiora much more accurately. And the channges to Karthus splash just don't make any sense, the textures on his face make his splash art look very inticate and detailed in the NA version, by darkening his face it just takes a lot of the detail and overall quality of the the splash art away. Other than that I think all of them are great, but by changing those two I think you are gonna hit the identity of those skins/ champs pretty hard in a negative way.
I like more ours of Lord Mordekaiser....
If you ever change Dynasty Ahri and Crimson Akali splash art, I will quit League. I kid you not.
Yes, they are coming. Go read the post on S@20 for the whole story
