Canceling it was part of the nerfs

It'd be really cool if they released a bunch of new main splash art with season 6. I also think Jax and Irelia could use one, and obviously Taric and Yorick are getting one.

Calm thy tits, err, udders. I expect Irelia and Swain's splashes to be updated come new champion select.

It's on the PBE, I believe, at least in a file (may not be his actual splash on PBE, but I remember it was uploaded at some point and commented on by S@20).

Can't wait for it to be introduced; I'm expecting it with the new champ select sometime in January.

More importantly, what happened to the Dragon Master Swain skin?

I actually believe there were a lot of people that were against it being put into the game. I remember seeing quite a few threads with Swain mains complaining about it. It's nice, but it does look a bit weird and honestly reminds me too much of singed. However they may release it sometime, I know there's a Warwick splash and an Irelia splash they've been hiding from us for a while that were teased in the LCS.

Oh, I never realized that. That might be the reason they haven't put it in yet :p. Thanks for the info! :D And can we just talk about how beautiful that Irelia splash is omg <3

P.S. - Frankly, I can see what you mean by the splash art not really looking to resemble what Swain is. I thought it did so, but now I see it doesn't even really have his Ravens really even featured in it except for Beatrice.

Yeah it's just singed with a cane and a bird and some wacky-ass hair in my eyes :p

His new splash is a part of the Centered Splash arts, designed for the new Champ select. I imagine his will be in the game when the new champ select comes.
