For the Kayle+Morgana Update...

Make their base splash art shared, to further emphasize how entwined they are. Just saying, I know that both of their updates are probably a little farther right now but since I'm hyping for it, make their base splash the first to be a shared splash!

I think they could just do it like Jinx/Vi who essentially share their splash but in a different way. As they are in the same place (Piltover) but Vi's is perfectly fine where as Jinx's is completely destroyed.

I was going to say that.

While this is a good idea, I cannot imagine it working. The scene, color range and exposition would have to be different with both as they are quite opposite of each other, trying to put it together into single splash art would most porbably look forced and weird.

Like imagine Brand and Anivia splash combined. You may imagine some cool exposition like Brand standing beneath with the pose he has now with Anivia spreading her wings like she does now above him, however either:

  1. The champs in the exposition would have to be far away from each other making them look small*
  2. If they were close, the color range forced mash would be eyes-stabbing
  • *Note that point of splash is to expose the champion so the scene is always just some background for the effect, atmosphere and color range. If two champions were together, there would be less or equal amount of focus on them and the scene, which is already bad, take into consideration that they would also be splitting the rest of the focus.

I found this image as best example of what I mean: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a0/f2/a2/a0f2a299900567756cbe65dc29824ffc.jpg

This is actually very good fanart on its own, however, noticed the reason this wouldn't be good dual splash?

  1. Not enough focus on Leona compared to, for example, focus captured on these splashes http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Poppy_0.jpg http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Taric_0.jpg http://media.wwg.com/2017/01/wallpaper-warwick-199584-200621.jpg

In case it was zoomed at Leona, it would be different story, however there wouldn't be space for Diana.

  1. While the bright-golden color makes it so that color ranges of these two are compatible, it is questionable how well glowing gold would fit to shadow purple.

  2. Diana is not visible fully.

The fanart is perfect if they would just turn around the point of view behind Leona for the Diana splash. This way you could have a lot of focus on the Champion but still have a partial view of their counterpar, while having basically the same setting.

That's the only reason how I can imagine a kind of "shared" splash, all other possibilities are just flawed in points of design.

Or you could make the POV perpendicular to the line passing through Leona and Diana. This way we would have each splash art representing only one half of the scene, with the respective champions depicted from the side few moments before clashing.

This is a good idea

They zoom it to only show the champion itself like on the loading screen.

But it's all part of the same larger splash.

A lot of the skin lines do this. For example, the Baker skin line, the URF skin line, the SKT/Fnatic skin lines, etc.

That way it is questionable whether such concept has a point If the other one won't be properly visible.

A lot of the skin lines do this. For example, the Baker skin line, the URF skin line, the SKT/Fnatic skin lines, etc.

Their loading slices may be focused or enlarged, but the splash arts are not (that is, If my memory is not tricking me). The maximum they do is flip some of them (mirror them). And the reason this works is because most of them (not really sure If all of them) are standing together as team, while Morgana and Kayle in this splash art would have to express hostility towards each other in some way.

However, good you mentoined the skin-line group splashes. It reminds me of Pentakill one which indeed is not focused enough which is point for you. And as I am looking at Baker one, it's true there are multiple such splashes where some champs are not focused that much as I'd expect (for example, Leona in the Baker one). http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fFYsgWbgiKI/U4ePjGuWfLI/AAAAAAAAQow/ftcJDmaAPE0/s1600/Karthus_Splash_4.jpg

The Pentakill is another one, the various Marauder/Warden ones are perhaps the best examples because those feature two champions each.

And put whoever made Blood Moon Diana splash to make theirs too.

I honestly hope they don't touch morg's kit at all. She is one of the few balanced champions from way back.

Danjeng2 votes

Or they both share equal space on the same splash, but their respective splashes are altered and show more of their own sides of the coin. Like in Kayle's splash, she would be a radiant judicator, while Morgana has a furious scowl. While in Morg's, Kayle would look like a tyrant, while she be an unbound purple godess.

I hope for an extreme contrast in colours, to emphasize more how different they really are!

This would be super awesome but super hard to make.

It would be like Jinx vs Vi splash art.

I imagine the same scene but different segments. Like, does anyone remember the Project Splash arts that all came together to make one panoramic view of an entire all out skirmish with drones.

tbh after the assassin rework (i played alot of them) i dont really trust riot and reworks so i hope they dont change morgs kit

Ct Dahlia1 votes

I'm more concerned with the story people removing the nuances of their characters and making Morgana a nasty villain and Kayle a perfect hero. I love how they're both morally grey now.

Sir Poodle1 votes

I don't know... Right now they are morally grey, true, but that's only because we have very little information.
