A problem with Varus' bow hand.

So, for some time now, and I don't know if you've noticed this, but there's something about Varus I find somewhat of a pet peeve (It's not like, UBER ANNOYING). And it's the arm he wields for the Darkin bow he wields. I remember in the old splash art for Varus, the Darkin bow would be on his right hand, however when looking at the splash arts for his skins (and maybe the in-game models too, I haven't checked), some splashes would have his bow on his right hand, some others would have it on his left (there are more left handed splash arts if I recall more than the right ones).

And looking at his updated /new/ basic splash art shows he has it on his left hand, however, on his Artic Ops splash, he has the bow on his right hand. Now call me what you want, and I know, it sounds stupid and everything. But bear with me. I feel like just about any bow&arrow-user out there doesn't just flip the hand he shoots his arrows with so easily (who knows, there are few of them out there in the world who do, you do you). And I feel like it makes sense that his Darkin bow would stay in ONE hand, because I feel like that's something that makes a character... A character, you know? I dunno, those are just my thoughts, I don't find it to be annoying or such a racket to even make a Discussion thread about, but coming from a guy who loves to play this character, it feels almost symbolic to me.

And I can't help myself but wanting to point it out.

NO WAY!!!! HE SHOULD HAVE THE BOW AND ARROW IN HIS BUTT AND HIS HEAD IS PERMANENTLY TURNED BACKWARDS AND HE SHOOTS ARROWS BY MANIPULATING HIS POWERFUL GLUTEUS MAXIMUS

It should be in his left hand to match his model.
