@Riot: Why aren't you brining the Chinese Evelynn Splash to NA?

While I may not agree with your decision to replace Masquerade Evelynn's NA splash with the Chinese one (there are good and bad points to both pieces and it really comes down to taste; I happen to prefer the current NA one) and I certainly get why you would want to replace the current Shadow Evelynn (I can't even use the skin as the splash art irritates me to much on load), I don't understand why you aren't globalizing Evelynn's classic splash with the Chinese one.

Can you please explain the reason why you have opted to not globalize the Evelynn classic skin? I'm sure those who have the Chinese version would certainly complain if you gave them the NA one; so I guess the question really becomes why aren't you bringing the Chinese Evelynn Splash to NA (hence the title)?

For reference:

The splash art for Evelynn in China certainly looks like fan art; however according to LoL Wikia, it is indeed the Chinese splash art.

Click the "Chinese Artworks" button and you can see it along side what might become the new Shadow and Masquerade Evelynn splashes.

Final note

I don't particularly like either splash and hope that the reason we aren't seeing a globalization of this splash is because Riot is going to replace both with something superior.

They said that the updated splashes released on Friday are only the first batch of multiple over the rest of the PBE cycle. I'd put my money on them adding her Chinese splash later this week.

NA splash looks more like her in-game model, and isn't too bad in terms of quality like the others were.

Honestly its not the way she looks its the way she is positioned its so ugly. like is that what the enemy champion sees when you approach them? i think they should change that splash completely and the chinese isn't any better.

The Chinese one only raises more questions as to what she is.

I actually really prefer the Current one to the Chinese one.
