I absolutely love the new Poppy splashes like I am using blacksmith Poppy for my phone backround, but why not update the Sion and other splash art skins? I understand the art team is busy but just like Poppy and her old splash arts, they were out updated. So you guys updated it to the current style of Poppy, which I love. But for champions like Tristana, Sion and other champions with huge visual updates/champion updates, why not update their other splash arts skins. Sion for example, still has his old face and body structures with skins like Lumberjack Warmonger and Hextech, also with Tristana has same accesories in splash arts like Firefighter and Riot Tristana splash. I do appreciate your hard work with Poppy update, I would just like to know if you guys are going update the splash arts for champions who received huge visual updates splash arts. Thanks!

There is a simple reason: It costs time and money to update splash arts.

I am pretty sure that other older skin splash arts,are on their to do list(yi,Brand and Wukong got some updated skin splashes a few patches ago),but they can only make so much in a given amount of time. They most likely gave Poppys splash arts a higher priority so that they can ship everything in one package,but that means that other splash arts were pushed back on the list.

Also I guess that splash art design is also dependent on the artists individual inspiration. If the artist(s) has/have a cool idea that works perfectly for a certain skin,then that skin might get priority over others who look worse(thats probably the reason why vandal brand and jade dragon wukong were updated so early despite the fact that there are splash arts who have it worse)

Scarizard said on twitter that this was there first attempt at updating ALL the splashes for a rework since they had the resources to do so. If this is well received, it might become a more common practice.
