Watching Gman Bob was a perfect example of my point. Enemy Lee-Sin goes 12-1, Bob is 9-6 as Corki. Bobs team go on to dominate the game because protecting Corki so he can lay down damage is so much easier. To get to Corki Lee Sin has to go through Rammus, Sona, Orianna and Cho'gath, and this isnt even counting in Corkis Valkyrie. Once an ADC has Last Whisper too he doesnt really care who he is shooting, because he will destroy them fast.
Yeah, its always great when people pull it off, however the second you dont pull it off its all gone tits up :P I think a few AP items are pretty strong too on that front, everyones got DFG nuking near 50% of your HP when you get close and then Zhonyas for if you do get off that perfect Fiora ult thats gonna wreck face.
New lux splash: she is insane. Oh, and her laugh.
In Soviet Russia banks rob you! Oh, wait a second...
Why does it feel like cho'gath and varus are ALWAYS f2p?
Because Cho'gath *is* free to play often. In fact, he was in rotation 2 weeks ago. Varus isn't free much though. Tends to be Ashe/Caitlyn/Vayne mostly.

And still people complain. Apparently for some people, crappy art >> awesome new splash just because it's what they're used to.
There's little debate over which is better in actual quality. Some of the old splashes are woefully poor quality. Lux wasn't the worst offender, but it most definitely wasn't top quality.
Giving preference to how something looks over another thing is fine. There's no accounting for taste. Denying the increase in quality is silly.
Even so, in this case (and a few others), it certainly feels like people cling to tradition and force of habit more than actually looking at the new pieces with an open mind.
Okay but in this case we need to be very careful we differentiate between quality as in graphical fidelity and quality as in aesthetically pleasing lest we fall into the deep pit of doom that is equivocation. While it demonstrably has a higher quality in the first case, I find that to be irrelevant. I'd rather listen to Flatsound in 128kbps mp3 than Deadmau5 in FLAC.
She is borderline insane actually. Just read the lore surrounding her.

While I'd rather listen to neither, even if we substitute Flatsound with something more of my liking, I'd still not pick the 128kbps. Poor quality reduces the experience for me by so much, I'd rather pass on it entirely.
It's part of the reason you won't see me play, say, Miss Fortune. Though the new Splash art might fix that.
