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"

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.

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

chinese one looks like fan art..

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 background and art quality is worse in the chinese one.

The Chinese one looks like vampire.....

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 ?

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.

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

The Chinese art seems unnaturally sinister.

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

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.

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.

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.

The HeraId3/26/2016, 1:04:15 PM3 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 :/

RottedApples3/26/2016, 6:34:29 PM3 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

FantasySniper3/26/2016, 6:51:48 PM3 votes

Most of the Chinese arts are superior.

This is not one of them.

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

kurthl33t3/26/2016, 1:14:02 AM2 votes

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

Ayame Isaki3/26/2016, 1:48:21 AM2 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?

Primadonna3/26/2016, 3:45:33 AM2 votes

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

World Ender3/26/2016, 8:13:17 AM2 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.

GreenLore3/26/2016, 12:40:17 PM2 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.

Totalis3/26/2016, 6:09:00 PM2 votes

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

Monkey D Luffy3/27/2016, 12:19:21 AM2 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 Veal3/27/2016, 8:55:51 AM2 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.

lnstantCoffee3/26/2016, 8:20:38 PM2 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.

Ackelope3/26/2016, 4:58:23 AM1 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...

If you ever change Dynasty Ahri and Crimson Akali splash art, I will quit League. I kid you not.
