Love the shadowfire kindred splash, but the loading screen portrait lacks some wolf. Here's my suggested fix

We're with you, both Lamb and Wolf should be clearly shown in the loading screen for Kindred skins. We've got an updated loading screen ready, that looks pretty similar to the example you've got there. Not certain if it made it into 5.19 in time, if not it'll definitely be in 5.20.

For anyone interested in context on why we missed this originally the splash art ended up being cropped by someone other than the artist who'd worked on the splash in the first place (who was temporarily unavailable when we came to create the loading screen). That meant some context on Kindred, and the importance of capturing both of them in all their pieces of art, got understandably missed by someone unfamiliar with the champion/skin, leading to the previous crop.

It's VERY unlikely. I'm not with Riot but the last three champs came out early in the day or two after, so expect him tomorrow morning or the morning after.

BTW, do we have an official pronoun to use? Took me a while to get used to calling Rek'sai she, I want to get a headstart with Kindred.

Proper pronoun would be "they" or "them", since Kindred represents the two entities: Lamb and Wolf.

pronouns for kindred as a whole is they/them. but if you want to refer to the individual parts of kindred,then you'd refer to lamb as female and wolf as male.
