Best new splash, I'm sorry. I also love Wukong's. Kayle's is the worst.

[Voidedmafia]

The only splash update I've kinda disliked so far as been Koggles's. It's crisp-looking, but a big cuteness nerf.

I agree. Seriously drops him out of contention. #MakeKogSmile.

(I personally wish they didn't change Lee Sin's, and put Sona's back to her old one. That red shading on her face is just terrible.)

P-EDIT: If I could actually play her, I would, too.

P-EDIT2: OMFG SHEN IS AWESOME!!

[The Bulge]

Kog's new one is cuter watchu talkin bout

[lil g]

It would be a lot better if they went back to the "giant tits central focus" school of thought instead of the new "improved" giant hand/weird thing in the foreground splashes.
Wukong looks awful, redeemed only by his shit-eating monkey grin. Kayle I don't even know what I'm looking at. What came first, the chicken or the laws of perspective? It's an art joke.

Also the morgana skin looks kinda blah so I guess I'll stay with McDonalds Morgana.

[zoraster]

the giant tits thing is pretty off-putting to me.

[pickemgenius]

ya new shen splash is way great.

new ez splash is OK. new talon is OK, and new zilean is great.

[lil g]

My point being you can draw the biggest tits in the world and they're never going to cover the subject's face unless they are laying flat or upside down. For some reason with these new ones they keep forcing perspective onto the giant hand/gun/whatever in the extreme foreground. It's just super weird.

I did like the talon one, too bad he's gone.

[Iecerint]

Yeah, Lee Sin's is pretty bad, too. He looks like he has to poop.

Do you mean Janna...?

if there isn't any dunking, it isn't a sport

Is there always a small swath of champions that go for 450 IP or should I be taking advantage of this?

Yes, and buy Annie, Garen, Nunu, and Ryze.

[Klazam]

Not nunu, kayle.

[Chevre]

ok. I think i looked once before when I was just starting and like I thought Janna was the only one I could afford and she was 1350.

AND I'LL CHOOSE WHO I DARN PLEASE TYVM

Two things to consider before you buy champions:

1. There is a feature called Mystery Gifting where you get a random skin for a champion you own. You can game the system by only owning champions with skins that interest you. So, probably always wait to test out a champion before you buy them, especially if that champion has lots of dumb skins.

2. Some champions are stronger in ARAM than others. If you err on the side of buying champions who are strong in ARAM, ARAM will be a more fun game mode for you.

[Iecerint]

The IP prices of champions are static, so you don't have to worry about that. Whenever a champion is released, 1 champion's price point is lowered 1 tier, but that's all and that's infrequent.

530 RP gets you Annie, Ashe, Garen, Master Yi, Nunu, Ryze, Sivir, and Warwick. They throw in a 4-win IP boost & 10-win XP boost too. That's pretty good for $5 imo and it gives you a handful of champs to mix with free rotation while you're figuring out how the fuck to play this awful game.

Am I the only one who is amazed and loves almost all the new splashes?

As somebody who would've considered themselves a Kayle main for a period of time, I REALLY REALLY like hers, actually. The texture in her wings and in the "bubble" (which is obviously her ult) are the key points, IMO. The armor also looks a lot cooler, by extension same with her portrait.

I found a non-S@20 page with all of the newest splashes being discussed here, and of those my 5 favs are definitely Zilean, Talon, Shen, Veigar and Blitz. Wukong would be one of my least favorites of this new round of splashes, but even that one isn't bad. I don't think it totally "matches", as somebody else said. But meh, NEW ART.

My biggest "qualms" are with Ezreal and Janna - he looks kindof...malicious, maybe because of their pose choice. Janna looks emaciated or ghoulish, probably because of her neck length and considerably creepier eyes. Eugh. :/

TRISTANA SO CUTE NOW. Hope all the Yordles are going in that direction. :3

[animorpherv1]

Wukong's riding a cloud (his Nimbus, iirc. He IS based off of Sun Wukong), and ulting. That shit eating grin is amazing.

[FakeGod]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

NEW SHACO SPLASH ART

DAY OF RECKONING IS NEAR

[Maestro]

I don't think it matches the anime-ish-ness of some of the others, but I also think his is the one that least matches his in-game model. The way they positioned him and drew his leg plates in makes him look bulky or even kinda husky, like a monkey version of Gragas with a stick and clouds. Not, I think, what they were going for, but that's what it looks like to me.

PEDIT: I SAW THAT ONE THIS MORNING AND I WENT WTF
That's among my favorites of any that have been updated.

Damn, if that ain't someone you don't want to see in the forest.

Btw, where are these splashes at, anyways?
