I appreciate what you were trying to do. The overall art is a vast improvement. The only thing about it I would consider worse is the face. Unfortunately, the face is the most important part of the splash art; it's what creates the in game icons, which cannot be covered by skins. A bad face can ruin the entire splash art, and I believe that's the case here.

Lee Sin's new icon is even rotated and modified (his chest isn't covering his chin) in a way that accents just how bad his face really is. The trapezoidal jaw is especially unsightly. His new face doesn't resemble the original character at all. It doesn't match any of his skins, and he looks like he has aged considerably.

Lee Sin is my favorite champion. He's the reason I started playing League of Legends in the first place. And it really saddens me that I cannot bare to look at his icon anymore.

I don't like to complain about work that obviously took a lot of time and skill to create, but I figured these boards exist for a reason, so I may as well offer my honest opinion. It's my hope that the new Lee Sin splash art remains the same with just a brand new face; one that creates an icon I enjoy staring at all game.

I also dislike the new Lee Sin face.

He either looks like a thumb, a toe, or a penis. I haven't decided which yet.

I dislike the entire splash but the face is especially bad.

Inclined to agree, I find the overall art to be fine. Maybe it's the "I just drank some bad milk" expression on his face that's bugging me.

I agree, the face icon is pretty awful. Poor Lee Sin. =/

Got to say I am not a Fan of the new Lee Icon either. Mostly the color, but yeah I had to search for him in Champ select at first. Hoping something can change here..my 2 cents worth :)

I added images to the original post for reverences. The icon is so much worse than the actual splash art. At least the neck and jaw are partially obstructed in the splash art.

This new icon is barely recognizable as Lee Sin. O.o

Not a fan.

To me his face looks like someone took away his candy. He's not going to do anything about it, he's just really sad.
