I really like the new splash art for sivir. It looks awesome.
Also, yes it does look healthy. She's sliding. I would think Req would understand that pose considering every Anime character looks like that in their backswing when throwing a heavy object from a run.
Edit: Actually now that I actually look at it, looks more like a step. either way, very Anime-like pose, which is the art style that League seems to favor.

I also don't think that's a slide, considering she's like ankle deep in the sand. More like a heavy step.

I may have never thrown a discus/bladed boomerang/whatever, but I'm fairly certain proper technique does not involve doubling over at the waist and balancing on one locked knee which is jutted into the ground at an awkward angle. She looks like she's about to fall flat on her face. It's an action shot...she's not balancing on one leg, she's in the process of stepping to throw it. You need to generate momentum for an effective throw. You don't just stand and throw with only your arm, it's a full body endeavor. It might be a little exaggerated, but not nearly as much as you guys are implying. Exaggerated just enough to show off her boobs and legs of course 8)

If she was pitching she would be planting on the opposite leg.
This is basically some sort of turning-while-throwing thing. I just successfully threw a Frisbee accurately using this throwing motion.

Isn't she sliding.

Everyone in this thread is an art critic now?
On another note: Would it be bad if Baron also buffed your minions?

Open Scene
Sivir is running, combating an enemy. As she is running, she turns to start strafing to keep him in sight. She plants her left foot deep in the sand as she turns, bends and torques her body to generate momentum, and winds up the boomerang behind her.
Snapshot.
Close Scene.
It's really not that hard to imagine. Again, maybe slightly exaggerated, but it's a cartoon.

More like everybody in the thread thinks it's cool to shit on Riot about everything regardless of what it is, really.
I think the splash art looks fine. I'm interested in seeing what's going on with all this Shurima stuff they're obviously working towards.

It's mostly the people that are happy with splash art don't really feel the need to say so. There was a loud uprising about Chinese art being better, so Riot is trying to improve on their own art, but you can't please everyone.
It certainly looks better than her old one.

Last time I posted a splash art (Officer Vi) I was psyched about it and everyone shit all over it.
TL LoL GD has made me bitter.

Just say "You only think that pose is impossible because you're unathletic"
Done.
BTW have you guys ever tried to do the "butt-boob" pose? It kinda hurts, but it's certainly possible without breaking your back.

I think that picture would be illegal in 20 or so states.

I think it's pretty obvious that they wanted to redo the art to give off a Shurima desert motif, and this revolves around some upcoming stuff they have planned.
Or am I the only person here who thought the striking difference in the new art was the sand and not her silly pose

I do think some of the Chinese splash art is really good.
Their in game portrait art is soooooo much worse though, it's pretty funny sometimes.
And it was a joke, wei
