The part people don't think about when looking at Splash Arts

What do the skins look like in the game? I feel like a fool myself because and I am sure some others have done this...I have bought skins based on what the champions look like in the Splash Art. I did this exactly twice. For Dryad Soraka (do not regret it at all) and for Asylum Shaco (regret it a lot because the skin is so low quality) I just bought them with RP since I wanted to support League of Legends a bit and felt like buying some skins for champions that I liked was a good way to do that.

I know some champions have had some default and older skin updates, such as Sivir, and am wondering if more of them are going to get this treatment. There have been Splash Art updates galore compared to skin updates. I think Shaco could really benefit from skin updates and maybe some other champions could as well. I think Riot has done a good job on the Tristana skin updates...I even got a great skin for Tristana from a Hextech chest, and I like it. So I definitely feel like they could be doing a good job by updating the skins for Shaco.

While they're doing that, I think he could use some AP duration scaling for Jack in the Box. Not for the duration of the box attacking, just the hidden trap duration itself. It is 60 seconds duration all game long which is pretty lame if you ask me. Sure, you can maximize the number of traps through CDR, but I feel like building AP should be able to help with this as well...like .15 seconds per AP seems fair to me. If it's a bit too low or too high then .2 or .1 would be fine with me and so on. Not sure if he needs any tweaks other than that but that's my favorite idea for making him a more fun and somewhat better champion.

I totally agree with you, even though The splash art is always what I care about most when buying a skin for some reason, I was quite disappointed when i purchased Order of the Banana Soraka, hoping to have a tanner and more human-like version of her like was displayed, but literally just got Normal Soraka in a dress and hat. Idk if this is relating to that, just how i feel.

On LOLKing they actually have the in-game models you can look at to decide if you truly like a skin. I also always watch Skin Spotlight's videos on YouTube. Will save you a lot of disappointment (and RP). Best.
