The chinese splash arts look like the free MMO's you see along the sides of dodgy websites

Like seriously, who is approving this stuff? This appalling step backwards in quality and artistic cohesion is simply mind boggling. Why on earth is it ok for a champion to be a completely different person in 1/5 splashes for no reason? Stranger still is how a champion is allowed to randomly change to an anime character hat looks like I drew it (not good).

Seriously, this fiora splash looks like it came straight out of a cringe compilation.

Man, there are so many things wrong with this Fiora splash-art I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, Fiora has BLUE eyes. Her hair is on the LEFT side of her face, not the right. She does have lighter skin but is not deathly-pale. She doesn't have glowy red gems. She is fit but not anorexic. She wears pink make-up and her jaw is wider. Nightraven =/= Itachi Uchiha Raven Her hair is straigh. Her clothes are grey. She has straps on her chest-piece going around her torso, holding a blade on her back. And she most certainly doesn't look like some fan-art of a hip hentai from 2009.

Art is art and I can say that most of the artwork the Chinese made aren't bad. However NA Lol has developed a philosophy and meaning behind what a splashart has to do and Chinese art works don't follow that which is why I don't approve of the Chinese splasharts although they're good.

What I mean is look at Riots splash arts, theres a small story or action scene in each one and they do what their supposed to do which is display a champion and tell you what its about just by looking at the splashart. The Chinese ones are nice but they don't do them, thats why I don't want Chinese splasharts EVEN if some of them are better than the original (not much but a few are actually better). ALSO that Bloodmoon Akali splashart change... I don't even play Akali but I loved that splashart and am sad that they're changing it.

The Karma ones are a prime example of this. Crappy anime with crappy colours. Crap.

You're being a bit harsh on the Chinese nightraven fiora splash, as it does look very good. However the real issue with it is that the Chinese splash in this instance is a very poor representation of the in-game skin, whereas the current splash is an excellent representation of the in-game skin.

because china has different standards on what's cool and attractive than the west does. why does china's splash arts bother you? are you looking at them daily or what? stop being that guy that bitches about something going on across the world from him that doesn't affect him in any way.

Doesn't feel all that Fiora... but I like that picture. :p

Yeah, it really is quite sad. The NA nightraven Fiora wasn't that good, but it is infinitely better than the Chinese one. Also, Safari Cait is such a huge downgrade. I really dislike the Anime style Annie splashes. Because splashes are such a huge part of a thing, Riot should, if they decide to actually carry through these awful changes, give the people with those skins a refund. I don't own any of the skins, but I feel bad for the people who do.

Jesus christ, I was wondering who's splash this was

This looks like a completely new champion or something

It's not bad by any means but it doesn't represent the skin/character at all

Tbh I thought that was a Vladimir skin
