Once again the new Irelia splash has been hinted at by Riot (WITH NEW IMAGE/Comparison)

I have no image to support it, but anyone who was watching the beginning of today's LCS saw a new pic of that same Irelia splash a long time ago. This pic (while I was stupid and unable to pic it) shows more of the head to chest (Much better than the original. :3 ), and is just leaving me with the question. When is this coming to live.

The NEW Image is right here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKsTmgtUwAA9wrq.png

They fixed Irelia's ugly forehead without changing her distinct appearance at all. Meanwhile they turned Fiora into a 70 year old.

Before: Fiora

After: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PXSTBwZUnZk/VbAFks7PhbI/AAAAAAAAuJY/OZ4r6dR6reM/s640/Fiora_Splash_0.jpg

Hm....maybe that makeover wasn't a good idea...

Whoever the artist behind this is should be working on all the splash arts. Look at this, then look at Katarina/Fiora's butcherings.

But knowing the art team's self proclaimed feminist motives, this won't make it through because it's not ugly. A strong independent woman has to be ugly remember.

The big question is: Is that why they're holding off the PBE release, or is it for other reasons?

As ridiculous as it sounds, it might actually be the case. They finished this splash art months ago. Wasn't it seen during the last World Championship along with Anivia's new splash?

We don't have to worry about a drastic change to her like the disaster they did to fiora. Irelia looks like herself and more realistic from that picture, sigh of relieve for that phew.. +fingers cross+ it don't get worse.

Oh yeah, Irelia looks way better in the new splash than in her old one.

Fiora looks more like herself in her new splash than before. She actually looks like a force to be reckoned with and a strong fighter rather than just another pretty lady for League of Legends.

What a stupid statement. She obviously doesn't look like herself in the new splash, because she looks so different from her original splash, aka, her self.

The new splash didn't represent her lore and personality at all. She actually looks like a scary fighter and duelist now rather than just another pretty face in the LoL splash.

The old splash actually represented her lore and personality far better.

What about Fiora's lore and personality led you to believe Fiora was meant to be "scary", considering her sense of honor and fair play, which brought her in conflict with her father?

Furthermore, her old splash art actually conveyed her not just her arrogance, but her insecurity in it. She was a young woman with a chip on her shoulder with a lot to prove. The new splash art largely just makes her look like a haughty bitch.

You didn't like Fiora, and that's fine. Why should she be ruined for people who much prefer her old design, art, and model?

God bless Irelia! And RIP Fiora, such a drastic difference in the fate of 2 of my mains

she's improved. dont even question it. it's clearly a fkin improvement.

People are downvoting you, but I'm assuming you were being sarcastic but with the crazy shit the feminazis have been posting recently people can't tell anymore what's sarcasm.

I wish they'd update Irelia's model too. People complain about the League of Busty Women a lot, but she could do with a more rounded design (especially the her armor plates).

I heard she may get a rework eventually too, so maybe it'll happen when her gameplay changes too.

Neo CyrusJul 24, 20156 votes

Look at Fiora's update and pray the same people don't work on Irelia otherwise she'll be "stylized" too.

Crowe StalkerJul 24, 20152 votes

I'm very hesitant to see this new splash art... Gods only know this is already the League of Booty with Frostbutt Irelia, I don't want the character any more sexualized in her splash art because damn it that's not how she is!
