This is good http://i.imgur.com/aXvjfVS.png This is still good http://i.imgur.com/pLnqM3T.png But this http://i.imgur.com/bVw3YBc.jpg Who dafaq is this square faced ugly b*??? Where is my blonde qt? Hair color isn't the greatest issue but her face is obviously uglier than before. It's not proper to use the word "uglier" since she used to be beautiful, but you get my idea. I loved Janna SO MUCH before the so called visual "update"

This isn't perfect http://i.imgur.com/L14emzp.png But this http://i.imgur.com/CslkUw6.jpg I never knew Fiora is at her 40s. Even Riot with their terrible art taste found out how awful this is, so they changed it urgently. http://i.imgur.com/p8jC0Yb.png Helped a bit, but still under the region of "ugly" while she used to be "not far from beautiful".

Where did you even find those artists? You are really good at wasting your money Riot. Soraka and Poppy's VU are very successful, why don't you just keep using that guy?

Idk as a person with some experience in art (not much, but have studied anatomy, textures and stuff) and several artists friends I can definitely say that the new splashes are better in terms of art quality. And the women are fine too, they just look less anime.

the katarina splash update was bad

I really can't understand why you call these arts ugly. Sure the artistic style is a matter of tastes, (i didn't like this style too at first) but saying it's horrible/ugly/badly drawn isn't right at all.

agreed. Janna Fiora Cassiopeia KatarinaAhri original or pre-update splashes were way better.

especially salty about the Cassiopeia Katarina updates

most of the yordle ones are improvements though

I really don't understand why so many people have a beef with Janna's current splash. If we're going to criticize how the characters look in their splashes by how "beautiful" (an extremely subjective term) they look, I'd say the current splash is definitely more "beautiful" than what she had previous.

Not to say I hate the old one; I don't mind it, but she looks a lot more baby-faced and playful in it. I always considered her something of an "ascended human" character, so her looking a bit more contemplative and almost god-like meshed better with me, especially since her magic looks way more powerful than what she's doing in the old one.

With all due respect to the authors, there's no doubt they have great skills. New splash arts are dynamic, they have superb color palette, contain lot of details etc., but some champions have lost their personality on the way. I mean look at Ahri: such a good piece of art, but I don't see the actual Ahri there. It's like looking at someone else.

Totally agree on the Janna one. They made her look old in her latest one despite the fact that she's supposed to have a youthful appearance.

Wow, the original Janna splash was beautiful.

Another contender for awful change is Cassiopeia's original splash compared to the butt-fugliness she has now.

It's kind of like deadpool said, that is too much dude for me.... regardless of texture upgrade

Honestly I cannot see what you are talking. The splash arts look fine to me. Even the older ones to be honest.
