When its ready. Not joking they'll put it up when it's ready. As evidenced by whose had new splashes more recently, there's no order to it, it's just "update everything, when you get it done we'll get it out!"

And no, I'd say her splash will be INCREDIBLY animated. INCREDIBLY.

I imagine we'll end up seeing a storm of complaints about female anatomy again when her splash comes out, seems inevitable at this point!

I don't know, i think i can almost give almost anything a pass regarding irelia. All i have to do is remind myself things could always be worse.

I've said it before: Irelia's visual design is missing a scar. Not a "that almost hit something important" scar like Katarina, but a big, nasty "no one could survive that" scar.

she is cute. Maybe that could be her new splash art

The one you showed seemed a little too revealing to be effective as armor on the battlefield.

Tell that to Akali, Syndra or Lee Sin.

Irelia should not look like she's covered in durable armor. She's nimble and fast, and her outfit should look like it's made for flexibility.

While it should be made for flexibility and mobility, but having armor everywhere but around her vitals just sounds stupid and it seems like she's just attempting to show off cleavage. The armor there seems like it's just barely protecting her heart, but it would be really easy for someone to just go up and stab her in the stomach. I'm thinking she should wear thin metal armor along with light, cloth-like armor where metal would hamper movement to give her a light armor that isn't totally useless. Her armor should at least be able to take a light slash.

Irelia is one of these champs where I'd actually like it if she got a gameplay update too.

And no I am not saying this because of "plz nerf irelia",but because Irelia doesn't really deliver in terms of fantasy. I mean she is the champ who controls levitating blades and we will most likely never get another champ who has levitating blades,yet irelia doesn't really use them except for her extremely unsatisfying ult,while the rest of her abilities are generic melee abilities.

I would really love it if there was more emphasis on the "flying weapon"-part

Orianna already kinda stole that concept

GreenLore1 votes

In what way?she controls a high-tech ball that acts a bit like a puppet and throws with some metal blades,but thats all. What I am talking about is stabbing the enemies with floating blades,which is basically Irelias main concept.

AHEM Bladecraft Orianna

That is a skin

I mean we had already ghost gangplank as a skin,yet we still got kalista. We had already samurai yi,yet we still got Yasuo etc.

Not to mention that even Bladecraft orianna doesn't fit that concept,since she doesn't have levitating blades to cut/stab her enemies either. She simply has a spiky ball.
