Beast Hunter Splash art is terrible. No salt.

Sejuani is a speck in the picture, Tryndamere is barely better, and we have a close-up of Draven's arm and face, not even showing his weapons.

Ok. I lied. I'm salty as hell about this...

Arguably the only highlight of the skins is supposed to be the beast armor and weapons, and the splash fails very hard to showcase it.

What we get is a boring "action" splash of them taking out an ugly monster.

Could have been way better. Like, a beastly monster could be dead and the three of them could be posing over their new Trophy or something.

ugh, I really hate the splash art..

I don't mind Trynd too much. But Draven is barely visible and Sej is so small that her load screen is low quality.

Splash art has been deteriorating steadily. Many of the champions are no more than smudges and light effects. Champions increasingly stand in poses that are physically impossible. Braum Lionheart cannot be seen in the larger picture, which could've been fixed easily just by flipping the image when viewing it from Braum. I don't like this trend, but I guess I'm not the target customer for these new skins.

Draven looks like his body was cut in half and all you can see is his upper torso. XD

Well , there was a lot of negative attention given to the pirate and snowdown skins over their lack of action in the splash. In both images, they're just standing there, posing, and not doing anything. I think this time, they tried to make is so that the characters were actually doing something, but they took it to the other far end of the spectrum. Don't get me wrong, the illustration is amazing! But from an action POV. The purpose of a splash art is to showcase the skin, capture a feeling of moment, and display the character of each champ. Unfortunately, this splash made it so that all 3 of the champs' bodies are hardly visible, and even the monster seems to be more of the main focus than the beast hunters. I really hope, if possible, that Riot can go back to making individial splash arts for the skins. It makes it a lot easier for them to be posed and drawn, since they won't have to compete for space or interact with each other. But the other comments are, right: some of the splash arts aren't as cool as before.

These are some of the main reasons why I'm not too fond of shared splash arts.

It's a great idea, but yeah, Sej is soooooooooooooooooo small... you can't even see her.

We weren't getting a lot with the skins being 750 rp (should be 520 rp), but apparently we don't get much of a splash art either...

Even sejuani's splash art has been nerfed. It never ends!

(Will still buy)
