Guess what? It's another Ahri splash thread! Yay! As if we didn't have enough eh?

So it looks like the updated 5.1 patch splash is here to stay. Many people have voiced their disaproval, and ok Riot, I get it, you're not gonna change something every time you see a complaint. People have different tastes, sure. And if you were to react to every single little complain on the forums, you'd never be able to satisfy everyone.

BUT I do feel there are some things that you'd have to be blind or insanely stubborn not to realize. Like wukong's coloring the first time the new splash came out. It was orange, OBVIOUSLY way off from the red that is wukong. And indeed it was later fixed. You know what else is also OBVIOUSLY way off? Ahri's chin.

It's . . .sorry, but . . . it's ugly. No other way to put it. I think it's a huge part of the reason people complain that they don't find the new Ahri attractive. It's passable when you look at the splash art as a whole, but when you focus in on the face, such as when you look at the character icon, you see this HUGE shadow/tumor underneath her lips. Look at her character model, her skin models, her skin splashes. NONE of them have that weird tumor chin.

This is what I'm proposing, very very simple fix.

very subtle, just a simple reduce the size/prominence of that chin. A lot of Asians have round/soft faces, and sure some have a pointed prominent chin, but it's not tumor looking. You guys probably got fed up with all the complaints, thinking you'd never be able to please the fan base after you kept getting criticism even after already reworking her, but don't let that blind you from the fact that that chin is fugly. Again, very simple fix - just soften the features.

tl:dr please Riot, fix Ahri's chin, it looks bad right now summoner 3 and it's a very very simple fix that I think would make everyone happy summoner 31 without upsetting really anyone . Please don't ignore this thread like you do so many other amazing (and often highly upvoted) suggestions.

edit I'm not an Ahri main/fan btw. I'm a fan of good splash art. And it looks like the big chin people are taking this too personally, point is the chin doesn't match her in game model-her skin models-her skin splashes-her concept art-her new dawn video model-her fanart. Many things don't match but this actually affects the icon which you use in the boards/minimap/champion select etc. It sticks out too much, the lighting/shading is too harsh.

Hey friends, I sent this over to the splash team as feedback. This by no means guarantees that they'll do anything to change it but the artists do a great job of reviewing any feedback that comes their way.

And fix the derpy eyes while you're at it

It's better, but I can't fully support it since it's still the same splash at the end of the day. There's far too much wrong with it to be fixed with simple modifications. The chin situation IS fixed by this however.

God forbid the chin looks like a chin and not a flat surface. Have you actually ever stopped and looked at someone's chin before? No? Didn't think so.

I lol @ everyone that calls Riot stubborn when you will literally nit pick every god damn thing that they change.

For someone like me, who has a chin like this, i don't mind. Everything has imperfections, nothing is perfect, get used to it.

To me her chin shape looks perfectly fine. It's the planar shading around it that's throwing some people off. I'm fine with this style because it's a type of more realistic cartooning that I know that league is aiming for >.<

Here is a quick edit of the shading while keeping the structure of her chin: http://i.imgur.com/s634Fp2.jpg

Either way I'm totes okay with this new splash.. Just have some friends who are bawling over it also so yeah..

They're allergic to Ahri threads for some reason, so don't expect a comment from them here. :\

Edit: Mind Games, all planned. :P

Her icon in game just looks horrible too...

It's a perfectly normal chin and comparing it to a tumor is ignorant and insulting to people who actually suffered by it. Chins come in various shapes and sizes and there is nothing wrong with Ahris.

If anything she looks high imo.

I believe the chin looks off in comparison to her skin splashes, being different from what it used to be.

That said, I don't think the chin looks like a "tumor" or that it is "ugly", her face is angled and even the smallest chins would have a slight protuberance in that position. The shadow underneath the lips isn't abnormal either, it's just a result of the lighting and the volume of her lips. Personally, I love it the way it is, but it's a matter of taste.

I have less problem with the new splash than her derp face and that stupid chin. Her eyes doesn't even sync, she looks high af

NorthenWolf1/17/2015, 3:19:06 AM4 votes

It sucks tbh, its not sexy, it seems rather well.. dull, i champion is hidden from view due to the stupid dark border stuff, and the tails. She looks like a transvestite no offense to anyone. Its just very bad, idk why you guys are giving splash work to more recent champions than the ones that are 3 4 years old.

The only thing wrong with this thread is that there's more than just the chin that needs fixing ;-;
