When will Warwick and others get a new Splash Art ?

Riot, first of let me tell that I loved the new Anivia Splash from a few patches ago. That was gorgeous. But I can't help but feel like some other champs could really really use it. Warwick, Irelia, Rammus ,Corki , Kennen and Swain are all prime examples of this. We are in 2015, and yet Warwick's, Rammus's and Kennen's Splash art do not even have a background. Swain's and Irelia's never got updated even tho they have been in the game for quite a while, and while Corki did get a update, the new one still looks old and moldy. Ps: I would include Taric and Poppy, but since they are getting Reworks and relaunches, I would expect them to get new Splash Arts when the rework comes.

really i find it to look outdated far more than Irelia's Irelia or Swain Swain it has no background and its not the best drawing out there

The background part is the only thing really bugs me but I guess this is more personal preference than anything. I frankly think Swain's looks more outdated, because since the TU, the drawing of the bird just isn't up to par.Although I do agree about Irelia. The background and textures isn't exactly the best.

I need a new Swain splash, there's a lot of character that could be portrayed in a new one but he and several other champions continue to be neglected in favour of others. I don't see how champions that came out in 2012 should have gotten splash updates before the older ones.

Warwick was scheduled for a rework and will get a new splash art when that happens. Zenonthestoic was originally planned to do it and shown a tentative kit but Riot made a team specifically for reworks so Zenonthestoic's Warwick rework was scrapped.

Presumably they are holding them back until they rework them so they don't have to do stuff like Tristana getting 2 and 1/2 new splashes when she only needed 1 I bet Fiora is gonna get a new splash with her update, and Warwick will get one with his, and Poppy and Taric too.

Rammus actually kinda works for him, given his personality of giving approximately 0 fucks. Do I still want a new one, fuck yes. I'm just saying that the plain, boring, old splashes at least kinda works for him.

When they get their visual update/relaunch.

How many times does it have to be said.

Angelofchaos16xJul 20, 20151 votes

VU have nothing to do with updated splash arts. Look at Anivia like I said

Appart from the fact that Warwick and Irelia are in the works for gameplay updates.

Visual updates HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH UPDATED SPLASH ARTS. Gameplay updates don't require a splash art when there are more important issues at hand. Gameplay AND visual updates normaly require a new splash art, sometimes it's the level and scope of the update that dictates the necessity of an updated splashart.

Taric and Poppy aren't getting "reworks and relaunches", they are getting proper re-releases, as if a new champion were to be made. Anivia got an updated splash art AND A TEXTURE UPDATE because her art is on par with her visual identity in game, her slight VU and the fact that her splash is nothing extraordinary(meaning it represents her ingame identity pretty well) means fewer resources were invested compared to something like Sion.

Compare it to Sivir, her kit remained pretty much identical, but her artistic values skyrocketed through the roof. Everything's amazing about her, and her splashart is out of this world.

Warwick and Irelia are getting the gankplank treatment, and if I'm not mistaken, Irelia gets a relaunch, but not Sion and Poppy's level. Corki got VFX updates and a slight texture update, pretty sure his splash is coming up soon. Kennen, Rammus and Swain have been left stagnant for quite a while, perhaps this means there's stuff coming down the pipeline, same with Gankplank, he was left to rot and now he got VU,GU and a new splash.

PS. " I would expect them to get new Splash Arts when the rework comes" - You don't expect something like that. It's a given, it's for granted. Why would you think they'd get full blown re-releases and not have updated splash arts? They're getting the same work as a new champion would(perhaps even more) who on their right mind would leave them with the splashes from season 0.
