@Riot Evelynn's Visual Update Should Be Based On Her Current Splash

Okay, so with Yorick and Warwick's VGUs out of the way there is only Galio left before Riot moves on to Evelynn... right? With this year being the year of achieveing long term goals I think it is possible that we will finally see long awaited Evelynn VGU.

Speaking of that I would like to revive a discussion that I started 9 months ago regarding Evelynn's updated splash art.

I think we all should take a look at how overwhelming the reaction to the new splash is. Let's face It, this new splash is awesome. It looks practically the same as old Evelynn you know and love hate, but at the same time it solves all the existing problems she has. She's attractive, she actually wears some clothing, spikes on her leggings look like something she can actually use now and this art shows a lot more character. She also has this cool neck-chest armor-like thingy. And overall she looks very new and shiny while still being 100% recognizable as the same Evelynn from the League of Legends beta.

Please do not make it go to waste!

TL;DR New splash fixes all Evelynn's problems and it should be her VU.

Current plans are that the Urgod himself is pushed after Galio and they said on stream that they are happy with the direction they found for him. I guess Evelynn will be after him. I'm certain there will be a lot more changes. The problem is that we don't know what Evelynn even is. Maybe she's some weird hybrid of a normal human and demon? Maybe she's actually a spirit and will be changed to a blue/green color scheme like the other ones? Only riot knows what she might be. I mean looking at the current shadow isles champions she is just a bit out of place. Changes will be needed in order to make her blend in more, just how Warwick is not just some werewolf but a augmented chemtech chimera to make him seem more Zaun like while also making him stand out more from werewolves in other franchises.

If Riot replaces this splash in her vgu, I will be disappointed. It's a great splash.

"I fap to this splash art of an Escher girl, so please Riot, update the model based on that splash art so I can fap to that as well."

I highly doubt Riot will remake Evelynn to look like her current splash, considering it was made over 5 years ago, when adding a plethora of spikes to things was considered "the cool thing to do." (Hi Mordekaiser! Hi Kassadin!) And I desperately hope they don't stick with this current look. Evelynn's current look, quite frankly, is just utterly terrible. She's basically a demon stripper from some cheap, sketchy porn, and that's not ok for the likes of this game. An assassin like Evelynn needs class, darkness, mystique, and intrigue, especially if she's going to be using her art of seduction to woo her targets. It makes absolutely no sense for her to be wearing this, just as it makes no sense for a ninja to be wearing white or bright pink. They need to class Evelynn up. They can still execute the seductress look without resorting to making her look immediately trampy; The current look she has now screams "pay me to spank you," and the game has evolved past the point of needing the hooker fantasy in full force like this.
