Please do not change Fioras night raven splash from what it is right now on the NA server

This is what it is now http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/t_original/1353900227741866637.jpg

This is what the Chinese art is https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qG7aito4V9g/VvWrakrwt2I/AAAAAAAAMo8/RuVELCkeD7Elr7Q7Uvz9pZIozmT5pp9UA/s1600/Fiora_Splash_2.jpg

Please keep what it is now on the NA server do not change it to the Chinese art. I will be super sad if this is what is going through.

Agreed, the NA art is much better and still captures what fiora is as a champion instead of saying "Night raven? I guess she's a vampire hurr durr"

She's not a vampire. She's a blood mage.

NA one is better, i hope they dont change any more of her arts, theyre all really good. Like, the new one is ok, but why the fuck is she gray, cant they atleast color change that shit to ya know, white, like shes supposed to be.

KarbuncleMar 26, 20161 votes

It wouldn't even be out of the question to change her skin color,they did it for the Karma Splashes from the white washed originals

Im fine with the new one as long as they make her normal skin color, but if they dont, its complete shit.

Rook LouxMar 26, 20163 votes

You consider white to be normal skin color? (This is a joke, but i hope i didn't need to tell you that)

I agree, the NA splash art is much better than the Chinese splash.

I'd way rather have some of the fan art

Its even the same exact style as the Chinese art

ModKnightsKemplarMar 26, 201610 votes

Yes, the NA is better by a lot. Not sure who's making those decisions, but maybe go the other way on this one.

The SoulforgedMar 25, 20169 votes

The background and art quality is worse in the chinese one.

TsenMar 26, 20167 votes

A bunch of the ones they're switching don't even need to change ( Amumu ) Current classic Amumu is more of a Amumu than that Amumu . Like, HE'S NOT EVEN SAD!

Also... is nightraven Fiora suppose to be Vladimir ?

if you mean this they aren't changing the Classic Amumu skin, they're changing his Vancouver Amumu skin splash. you can tell because of the different colors of his bandages. i guess i can see where the confusion comes from though, i doubt many people even remember that skin exists.

OverpoweredSoapMar 25, 20166 votes

Sadly, the Chinese splash art looks more like what her VU night raven skin looks like imo.

Though, I like our splash more in terms of action and flow.

gubigubiMar 25, 20162 votes

That doesn't matter at all if it looks slightly more like her VU than the old one. I don't want to have to look at that in the loading screen every time I pick that skin. Its enough to make me never want to even pick the skin again. Which means now Fiora will have 2 skins that I don't use anymore after what happened to royal guard.

i think your overacting, unless you buy skins for the splash art and not for the ingame model

You do realize that splashes is one the reasons people buy skins, right? It's not just the model or particle effects. It's partly why Snowstorm Sivir actually caught players attention. It wasn't because of the (subpar) model, the (generic) particle effects, it was because of the (busty) splash artwork.

EvewynnMar 26, 20166 votes

I think the Chinese one is very attractive, but the current one just represents her so much better.

The Chinese art seems unnaturally sinister.

kaltenashesMar 26, 20165 votes

i have this skin. the current is way better than the chinese... still i dont play fiora anymore

reworks ruining champs Fiora Skarner Quinn Mordekaiser

RàinbowMar 26, 20165 votes

I won't be holding my breathe. I don't know what it is with Fiora that they are constantly downgrading her in the sense of aesthetics. My once beautiful Fiora is now in the can.

PaladinNOMar 26, 20164 votes

Well, you can change the splash arts yourself, you know.

I have reverted back to the old, original splashes on several champions, like Anivia, Ahri, Fiora, Kayle, King of Clubs Mordekaiser (the one with the cross on the chair), as well as implementing several fan arts - and I even gave Graves his cigar back.

So even if this change goes through, and I'm not saying it should, then it can be changed back manually.

Load splashes isn't an issue either. It requires a bit more effort, but it can be done.

But thanks for the heads up - I'll be sure to check if I got a backup of this Fiora skin splash art ASAP.

The DeckownerMar 26, 20164 votes

i thoguht the chinese version is called vampire fiora. i already have no hope is rito's art department after they changed fiora's regular splash art during the rework. she used to be my favourite champ and now i dont play her no more.

Mind if I mention there's a double negative in your comment?

The HeraIdMar 26, 20163 votes

I honestly thinks the Nightraven from China looks WAY cooler, but I will admit it doesn't fit her. The rapier looks cool, I am not anywhere near opposed to the Vampiric look, although the red eyes are a bit meh. I like the fact that the background makes her pop out a bit more, but honestly this seems to be coming down to the we do not want change arguments as they always do :/

RottedApplesMar 26, 20163 votes

I'll admit there are a couple chinese arts i like better than what we have but I don't understand why all this extra work is being done on something that isn't even necessarily an improvement for us when we can just hold out for entirely new artwork.

Oh and the karthus art tweaks are literally a downgrade based on what i saw on Sur@20. The current art looks a lot cleaner than the new art

FantasySniperMar 26, 20163 votes

Most of the Chinese arts are superior.

This is not one of them.

kurthl33tMar 26, 20162 votes

I actually like elements of both pieces, but it's true that the original is much more dynamic.

Ayame IsakiMar 26, 20162 votes

This is one of the few places the NA art is better and they want to replace it with the Chinese art. Why can't they replace Evelynn's base art to the Chinese version instead?

PrimadonnaMar 26, 20162 votes

I feel like a lot of the "splash updates" are downgrades, ESPECIALLY this one.

World EnderMar 26, 20162 votes

While a lot of the splashes they're updating are going in the right direction, there are quite a few that miss the mark honestly. Ionia and Headhunter Yi, the Karma skins, Emumu, and of course Fiora all look worse with these changes. I hope these changes aren't final and that the listen to feedback.

GreenLoreMar 26, 20162 votes

While I do like both to some degree,I also feel like the chinese one actually feels more outdated than the western one,I mean the chinese one is just Fiora standing there and the left side of the splash art is pretty empty(something that is rather common for older splash arts).

Eitherway lets not forget that fiora got a VU,so she should be on the list of champs who'll get entirely new skins plash arts.

gubigubiMar 26, 20162 votes

I would be actually shocked if she was on a list to get entirely new splash arts. If she is, thats awesome but until then I'd rather keep the splash arts she has now.

TotalisMar 26, 20162 votes

the fucked her original splash, I wouldn't expect anything good at this point

lnstantCoffeeMar 26, 20162 votes

Please give her the Urgot treatment. Changing to an uglier splash=reducing skin popularity reducing skin popularity=reducing champion popularity

It's actually all just a masterplan to reduce Fiora's play rate so riot won't have to nerf her. again.

All jokes and circlejerks aside, keep the current splash, it looks a lot better.

Monkey D LuffyMar 27, 20162 votes

It's actually really dumb what they're doing, they're ruining a lot of my favorite skins and this is REALLY lazy.

Pierce The VealMar 27, 20162 votes

Funny how people say X, Y, and Z chinese skin arts are better so Riot goes and replaces A, B and C skin arts instead.

BlackSteal09Mar 27, 20162 votes

I agree the Chinese night raven splash art make her look like a blood suck and not the good one

At least the Ahri change is not much just making the face look nicer

Sassmast3rMar 26, 20163 votes

Except her facial expression looks so generic and cutesy I'd swear she's ten years old.

The current facial expression has some sort of darkness and mystery to it that makes her look much more mature than whatever that weird chinese one is.

I'll agree that the Crimson Akali splash isn't great, at least its anatomy is so much better than what he have now. I'm actually partially in favor of the Dynasty Ahri splash.

I like ahri's, crimson akali gives me the creeps doe

AckelopeMar 26, 20161 votes

On the subject, Taric's Chinese splash art is much, much better than what he has currently. However, I'm assuming his rework will, of course, come with a new splash. If it doesn't update the splash for skins though, please use the Chinese ones, they're many times better...

SukishooMar 26, 20165 votes

They won't update his with any of the Chinese ones as he is currently under going a full rework, so he will come with brand new splashes altogether.

AckelopeMar 26, 20161 votes

You sure? Sion's rework didn't come with new splashes for his skins other than base. Poppy's did, though, and she's more recent. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

SukishooMar 26, 20163 votes

100%. Riot has said that all reworks will now come with updated art, Poppy, Shen are the first of them. Taric's will be next.
