EDIT: Scruffy has confirmed that the in game models are being cleaned up as well. "The art team is doing an iteration on the models too. It's looking good from the early shots I've seen." https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3e8t9u/722_pbe_update/

So, Riot's updated VU is a step in the right direction if they're going to force it through, however work is still needed. Here's the new updated VU splash art and their original.

EDIT: Finally, Artits' own tweaking of Fiora as he's posted on the forums, which I think is exactly what Riot needs to do. It's perfect. It's something that I can look at and say "That's Fiora". She looks confident, elegant, and poised.

They tend to adjust the splash art if the community don't like it. It's the in-game model that's I'm unsure they'll fix.

I love her new kit and gameplay, but they need to do something about that face and hair. And the Royal Guard skin in general.

TBH they really should cancel the vu delay her re-release for a patch and just update her old Model, this whole thing epitomizes the problem with the VU team, and not only is her rework objectively bad it clashes with even new Human champions, Fiora and Gangplank don't look like they are from the same work as Ekko, so they are creating bad works that create dissonance,

A big thank you to Riot for listening to the criticism (and hostility) they received from the majority of the fans (including myself) and going back to tweak the main problems (the face and hair) people had with the splash art (and perhaps that giant bite taken out of her side as well, Riot?). From Ironstylus: "That said, we are looking into some tweaks to the splash. Mainly focusing on lessening some of the chiseling on her face and some other minor changes, " and from Scruffy: "We're iterating on the splash based on all of the feedback :)" See the Surrender at 20 post http://www.surrenderat20.net/2015/07/red-post-collection-514-patch-rundown.html to confirm for yourself.

May we get some confirmation about the in game models for the new VU? Those have also received a stunningly large amount of criticism from others - including myself, as Fiora is my favorite champion (alongside Sona, LeBlanc, and Mundo) and while I am liking the kit and can see so much potential for it in play, I also want to see her visuals do her justice and be adjusted as well - ESPECIALLY the Royal Guard model.

Still looks balding.

Try harder.

There still needs a lot more work with the splash art imo.

See league of legends community? We QQ'd hard enough and we got our way! (joking we actually gave positive feedback to riot and backed it up with actual ammunition do not downvote my joke :c). Thanks for the info though, bump.

The splash art was a masterpiece compared to the disaster that is her in game models. Fixing the splash is literally the least they could do, and they didn't exactly knock it out of the part.
