Splash Art Unification does not mean that those splashes will not be further updated... Right?

I am reading feedback from multiple servers, multiple forums, etc... and people are really disturbed with the splash unification process happening. A lot of people are not satisfied, and think things should be left as they are until Riot could do a quality work on those arts... But I just wanted to genuinely ask about the purpose of the unification in general. I want some Clarity (trademark).

As I understand it... it is the same thing that happened in 2014-15 splash art updates? They are placeholders until Riot will start working on splashes champ-by-champ? Or is it a permanent solution unless a complete VU is happening for a certain champ?

My own opinion is pretty mixed, but it is more negative than positive. Most arts are really misshaped and are even worse than before (why do you want to kill Groovy Zilean for me?!! What's going on with shapes and looks on Janna, Kayle, Karma, Amumu, Corki, Evelynn, Caitlyn, SINFUL SUCCULENCE MORGANA OMFG), and a bit of them are awesome (like, new divine Soraka. Bandit Sivir, Hecarim, Vladimir, Lee Sin, Infernal Wu!, Akali, Irelia, Shyvana and Renegade Talon)

Once again, I am asking about the purpose of this and not just crying to LET EVERYTHIGN BE AS IT IS OR I AM GONNA UNSUB NEVER BUY RP ADKASOPIDAPODIWDPOAIWDPOAWPDADIO... even though I really don't like some of those.

Nope! We are currently working on New Nidalee, Trundle & Tristana Skin Splashes, as well as a bunch of other Base & Skin Splashes that we had 80-90% complete. Expect to see some of those popping up in the near(ish) future.

Yes they are not meant to be permanent,they even said so in the patch-notes.

Like last year’s Mass Texture Rebalances, this is not a replacement for full-scale splash updates down the road, just a short term solution to solve a specific problem.

Yeah, I'm not happy with this unification stuff. Like 70% of the splash changes are worse than the ones we have now. Good to know it's not permanent, but I wish they just wouldn't do it in the first place.

While some of these unification splashes are OK, a lot of them aren't very good. Some look older and a bit less quality than the current ones in NA. I do like the fact that some skins are being slightly tweaked, but some of them are receiving massive changes which a lot of the community aren't really appreciating. I personally feel that these unification splashes are becoming a bit too anime/manga-like. I know that some of these are from Asian regions, but I still feel that these splashes should be distinct in their art style.
