Groovy Zilean Splash

Anyone else think the splash art for Groovy Zilean is absolutely atrocious? He used to look so happy and ACTUALLY groovy - now he looks like he's on bath salts and having a really rough time of it. He's going to gnaw your face off AND bomb you. This is not what I think the spirit of Groovy Zil is about. Feeling groovy is not about rage, it's about peace. Can we please get either a splash revert or an update? One that actually looks groovy and not just pissed at everything?

^Best. Anyone that says otherwise needs more groove in their life and soul.

Zilean needs a VGU, so I severely doubt they'd consider remaking his splash to something new.

And the reason that the splashes were swapped to the Chinese ones was because of the splash art unification project. Prior to like 2015, each region had their own splashes, so when something new came, they had to make a splash and post it. The unification project basically removed this need by making is so that all splashes world wide were controlled by one entry. So instead of China, Korea, EUW, EUNE, OCE, and NA having to individually put up splashes, they made it so that when NA posted the splash, it updated it for ALL regions. China's splashes were chosen as placeholders for this because China is particularly strict about game imagery, so that way, they already knew those images were going to work for China and not require other approval. Additionally, China's server was also one of the more recent ones, so their splashes were ALSO the most reflective of how the champions of the time looked with all their updates and whatnot. This is why the majority of old splash arts were replaced with their Chinese counterparts, and also why they will not be reverted.

Please this. And every other Chinese splash art that replaced the old ones while they're at it (Annie and Sivir are especially bad now)

Well... the splash art is very old and could use an update.
