New Splash Art - Replacing Purchased Skins

Cymonk·9/14/2016, 2:19:41 AM·3 votes·655 views

When they announced that they would be doing new splash art, I was excited. Some of them have been great! I'm REALLY excited for the Galio rework. However, when they started replacing my purchased skin's splash art for art that I didn't like, I started feeling like I'm getting robbed of skins that I payed good money for. And since I'm up to 6 of my really loved skins being changed for the worse, its starting to make me upset as a customer. Not only am I losing the skins I loved enough to spend money on, but I also don't want to buy more skins because I don't trust that I will get to keep what I'm buying.

What I think would be a great solution is to allow people to keep their old skins as legacy skins. Put them into the vault so new people can't buy them. That allows riot to make more money on the new ones if people like them and want to get them. And customers won't feel robbed of good skins that they previously spent real cash on. Anyone else have similar thoughts?

Kill'em All!

So just because a Splash Art was replaced with a higher Quality Splash Art that you didn't happen to like, you think you deserve compensation? Honey, you're just being a spoiled brat at this point. Get over it and move on.

You should always look at the IGM (in game models) INSTEAD of the splash arts. Splash arts can be cancer and disgusting but its the in game models that matter.

My favorite example is Zyra. Her "Haunted Zyra" splash art is amazing and it made me want to buy the skin really badly. But then I took a look at the in game models, and used a program to load up the skin in a custom game so I could see if I liked the effects and all that. (Note I don't think this program is allowed in normal games so I don't recommend using it so I won't even share the name)

And I absolutely HATED THE SKIN. It's disgusting in game. Instead of being this creepy, hardcore skin. It looks like someone made it out of play-doh and all the animations look like someone dragging a wet noodle across the ground (her E looks nasty I mean come on. Tell me it doesn't look like a bunch of wobbly arms flopping around instead of the creepy arms reaching out to pull you into oblivion that it should look like)

Splash art's can suck yea, but they don't matter in the grand scheme. I for example think Pulsfire Ezreals splash art looks amazing but the in game model doens't really look that good.

Splash arts don't matter that much. I don't really recommend begging riot to change them.
