Please change back the Arcade Poro icon, the surprise change is horrible (1495 RP bundle exclusive)

The arcade poro icon was only available in a 1495 bundle. This was my favorite icon, and I'm really disappointed in what they changed it to. I'm not sure if I still would have bought the pack if the icon was what it is now.

Riot, please change this back. It's not right to alter things like this after people already paid for them.

To clarify, I don't want a refund and I'm not here for sympathy RP. I just thought this was a really cool icon, and doing massive changes to icons people paid for is a bad precedent. Skins I can understand, but this has no effect on gameplay...

Edit: It was recommended that I post here for a higher chance of having a Rioter chime in. Here's my GD thread, feel free to read through the comments and see other people really dislike this change too. Here

But... the new one looks better. >_>;;; Furthermore, why would you buy or not buy a pack based on what an icon looks like?

I like the detail on the old one but the background color on the new one. Someone just thought 'ok time to pay more respects to our origins. Let's change this look from 24bit to 8 bit.'

I don't really care though. I won't buy it. :P

I agree the new one looks washed out and awful. I paid extra money for a bundle to get an exclusive one of a kind icon that I really loved. By changing the icon months after its release is false advertising and the only solution is to change it back, give players both icons, or refund them.
