So why didn't we get any input into the splash changes?

I mean, we are the games community right? It's purely a cosmetic change, you're not exactly giving us the keys to the live balance team.

Would it have really been so impossible to decide on what champs you want to unify and set up a survey or something? Just have the NA and CN splashes next to each other. Then you know, ask your games community to click on the one they like more ? Then you can even make a fancy infographic comparing NA and CN results and brag about how much you listen to us.

Some are good changes, but then I look at a couple like Fiora that make me think you probably just put the pictures on a dartboard and let fate decide.

I won't suggest that you somehow include both splashes for those that want them, lest you need to upgrade that suspiciously fragile tech.

The problem is likely that a big part of the community wouldn't have participated in the voting anyway,which could lead to a vocal minority dominating these polls. And well,there are the ones where the chinese one is definetly better,so they probably didn't want to risk it that the community would vote for the old ones,simply because they don't want any changes. (for example phantom karthus really needed this one).

Also they update a ton of splash arts,I mean there are 47 chinese in this pbe-patch alone and they were just the first wave,so making polls for all of the splash arts in all the regions would have been quite some work.

I don't get why they're changing only a few, if it really was so each region had the same art, you'd think everything was changed, not a select few. And i agree the new Fiora one is awful.
