Why is Bloodstone Taric's splash art reversed?

http://i.imgur.com/nqC8w9L.png Why is Bloodstone Taric's splash art reversed? He is still casting with his right hand, which lights up, and he still wields the mace with his left hand in-game, so why flip the splash? I know that Riot often does this to make fewer of the splash arts face right, but doing so when it creates a false representation of the champion is not a good decision when it comes to clarity.

"With clarity!", said the old Taric. Honour him!

I'm more concerned about his color, it should be more blood red http://oi66.tinypic.com/34yphuc.jpg http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/qTseQQe1-bloodstone-taric-is-too-pink?comment=0004 edit: changed the thread for a clearer topic.

Agree, I think Bloodstone should feel as actual blood.

Think about how this would look in the ingame client. On the left side they have all this stuff about the champion info(his general stats and skills),so if they flipped it,it would obscure his entire body...

Why on earth did they not make the pose correct in the first place then? It cannot be excused. It would make more sense to have the champion of any splash art slightly to the right to avoid this problem. The pose is cool and all, but there are many alternatives that would make this problem non-existent. They should at least have the correct one for his loading splash art.

I think it would be wise to consider things like this more when creating splash art for League of Legends.

liar, you just flipped the splash art to troll us into thinking Riot actually did it, you can't hide the lies from me [slayer-jinx-unamused]

No... Take a look here: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/champion-update-taric-shield-valoran Instead of downvoting me and being rude, you could take the time to look at the official page. I flipped the one that was wrong. The one that is new is "mine". Please read the first post to understand the problem: that the "old" has Taric wielding the mace with his right hand, and casting with his left, which he does not in-game.

splash arts and in-game model aren't always the same you know, and having the splash art flipped (yours) would just cause issues with how it displays on the champion page in the client

Because they wanted to show this pose from this angle,which is only possible with the flipped splash art.

It is also possible that the splash artist realized the error too late and didn't want to redo the whole splash.
