Dear Riot, We have the base skin splash arts that are slowly coming out, they are awsome and all, but can't you speed this precess up a little?

I mean there are TONS of splash art of skins that nowdays you cant let them pass as "good". I mean many of those BARELY look like the champion that they are supposed to be thanks to all of the reworks.

How can riot say: "Okay Riot girl Tristana has a good splash art", i mean it's one of the most popular skin in the game (its free!) for a cheap champion to buy and OMG IT LOOKS HORRIFIC. first of all after the rework it look nothing like tristana, and it's made with Paint.

There are tons of splash arts for skins that BEG for your attention riot, i mean they are a bad thing for your repoutation. A new player that see the current splash art of Anivia says " nice art from the 90's right there..... god awful...." and he is right!

Jesus christ i mean, come on.... Everytime i am in the loading screen i have fear to open my eyes to see what abomination of splash art i could see for that skin! My eyes bleed everytime i see Riot Girl Tristana, i want to stab myself five times everytime i see Anivia splash art This is not tolerable, i demand justice, you have the money to pay all the artists you want, make these damn splash art for the skins too

Okay, sorry for the rant, i needed it. Peace

I agree, but the facts still remain that they dont have as much splash artists as they should (what was it, like 5 of them in total), not to mention that all of them touch on specific parts of the splash art and not the whole splash art (Knockwurst said that this was one of the reasons why Art Spotlights arent a thing anymore). As a matter of fact, Riots narrative team is also under-stocked, what is it with Riot and not having enough man power?!

Fun fact, some splashes are already made and were seen during some championship events (examples of Anivia, Irelia and Warwick). https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1735/4534/original.jpg https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1735/4558/original.jpg https://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1735/4858/original.jpg

I'm still waiting for a manly Xin Zhao splash art update... He desperately needs one.

They have like 8 people they get to do splashes and that's 1 person for each splash.. On top of that a single splash takes at least a month, then there's the feedback that happens when the community doesn't like it so it pushes them back further.
