Maybe aknowledge the fact that not everyone agrees with you? Or am I apparently now the only one who likes the new splashes? Ever heard of vocal minority? They cannot make everyone happy. Let them maybe work on new splashes for some champions who need them like Anivia, rather than fiddle with these current ones because I'm pretty sure no matter what they do to it, people will still whine.

Just recently i spotted a thread complaining about Akali's lack of sideboobs. One time I spotted a "Janna main" stopping to play her because of the new splash. Other ridicilous things like these definetly have happened.

You may hate a new splash art, but remember that there is also people love it. Demanding to change it is really stupid. I for example really dislike the new Alistart art. Do I whine about it?

I don't know if this thread is fitting to the boards but whatever. I think Riot is doing a great job with the splashes and should keep it up. Atleast someone has to say it.

The thing is that Riot can't change the splash arts of (sexy) female characters without drawing too much complaints

There are/were huge debates about Ahri Akali Jannas splashes,but no one cares if the splash arts of the others gets updated.

Well I think it's fine for people to voice their complaints on the boards - that's what the whole upvote/downvote system is for. Legitimate complaints will get a lot of upvotes, which brings it to the attention of the art team. Singular complaints that no one else shares the same point of view will get downvoted. About that vocal minority comment - I have friends who've had issues with certain aspects of the game, but they don't post on the boards at all. And oftentimes their views coincide with what is being posted on the boards. What I'm saying is that sometimes the minority vocal-wise actually represent the majority viewpoint wise.

About that Janna comment, I remember seeing it, and I can actually agree with it. At least for me, I love choosing a hero not just for the gameplay mechanics, but for their aesthetic appeal, and this includes the splash, since it's what you see while you are in the hero selection/loading screen. And I can understand how some Janna mains are ticked off by how the splash went from warm to completely cold.

I still think my version http://i.imgur.com/4eEE3cX.jpg is an excellent fix, which bridges the old version with the new, and had a lot of support from those Janna mains.
