Edit: @Riot Silver http://am.leagueoflegends.com/image?f=http://news.cdn.leagueoflegends.com/public/images/skin_screenshots/Trundle_LilSlugger_Splash.jpg&resize=1344: Hello

I have been wondering for a while what happened to Trundle's classic skins! I have seen this issue posted on other forums as well by other people. Trundle is very low on skins and 2 out of 3 them have very outdated splashes looking nothing like him which really gives him only one decent skin. With the new model and all, Trundle's skins looks utterly different in game than they are depicted as in his splashes (this model has been out for a few years). I want to buy skins for him like Junkyard Trundle but when I see his splash I feel like I am buying a new champion. I know there are other champions with outdated splashes but at least they resemble the champ unlike Trundle's skins! Hopefully this idea can be passed out to developers just so they know the issue exists and something can be done. All in all, Trundles suffers with very few skins, 2 of which have outdated splashes that don't even resemble him and what they look like in game (these are from before his rework). I don't think Trundle is getting the attention he deserves and I feel it's fair that the little skins he has are at least up to date and look like him. P.S the picture on top is one of his current skin splashes.

Thanks http://lol.gameguyz.com/sites/default/files/images/20132703150446.jpg

You can see how his visual overhaul from 2013 has changed him yet his old skin splashes keep the old model

Any thoughts or comments Riot as to whether you are aware of the issue or how or when you plan on tackling it

Yea, I totally agree with you. I feel Riot just left his skins in the dust. In a way you are being deceived since Trundle looks completely different in game compared to how he is shown in his splash art with his old skins. Sigh, we can only hope Riot decides to give Trundle some fair attention

Well, I think that everyone (including Riot, believe it or not) are aware that a lot of champs who got visual updates still need new and updated skin splashes, to match the updated looks, such as with Trundle, Nidalee, Karthus, Twitch, etc.. The thing is, Riot have said in the past, a few times, that they're are going to update older classic splashes first, and only then the really old skin splashes, which may, indeed, take a lot of time.

P.S- I think that it would be Riot Silver who's in charge of the Splash Team at Riot.

I have heard Riot say the same thing. But really, how many classic splashes need to be updated at this point? I remember not that long ago many champions had there splashes updated together (veigar, udyr, blitzcrank, singed etc. there were like 10 of them) and even more were done earlier like vayne and shyvana. When I look at the store I don't see many champions in need of a classic splash update. I think it's about time Riot tackles issues with champions like Trundle. As kingtwigs said, he only has 3 skins, 2 of which are outdated splashes. You said it would take a long time but it has already been over 2 years since Trundle's rework. Realistically it should not take much longer. I know Riot is aware of this issue, but how long until they act on it. I mean majority of the classic splashes are up to date. Besides unlike most reworked champions, Trundle's old model is significantly different from his new one. Rito pls help Trundle :)

Honestly a splash art would be cool for the new VUs but the old art brings some nostalgia that I love. Even if the old VU looked like this:
