I'm saying you can't pick neither, I guess you could go into the gamefiles and remove it with a blank image but that'd sort of ruin it.
You can install custom skins. I'm guessing you can use custom splashes as well, but not sure.
I am having so much fun with Vlad so far. I hope he goes on sale soon.
Is there any easy way to look up when he last went on sale? If it was within the last month or two I guess odds are he won't be for a while and I may just bite the bullet and pay full price.
I decided to just buy him + the Vandal skin awhile ago. He's on sale rarely if ever.
Vlad is just such an OP top after level 5-6. Good Vlad's (maintain those stacks DAMMIT!) can just troll an entire team with zhonya's and pool. He was on sale a little after the end of April, maybe mid-May if I had to pinpoint, so I wouldn't hold your breath (he will probably be on sale next week and now I look like an ass)
Corki nerfs hit him hard, I still see Corki's everygame- but I notice a significantly higher win rate against him now. Also Ez & Sona / Taric & Graves is too stronk for any Corki lane.
I have been watching the Koreans play Shaco, <3, man they are so damn scary with him- so much different then our meta.
I think it suits her. She is on the brink of breaking down, so ye.

I don't enjoy watching games much these days. So many same picks... Graves/Ez/Corki in 90% of all games. Boring.
Don't like Caitlyn either.
But that's because she's one of the few ADs that (can) give me a hard time as Tristana.
I watched a few Phantoml0rd lessons and picked up on a couple concepts I just never thought about before (yeah, I'm probably a baddie).
One of which has reinvigorated my love for Caitlyn. She trades SO well in lane you can shut down an equally skilled opponent (let's face it, I'm not going to own Chaox even if he's playing ADC Teemo) incredibly hard. I played one last night and had double my opponent's CS 18 minutes into the game because every time he went in for a last hit I was getting at least 1 auto and often times a Q. Only a really strong opposing support can help deter that.
On the topic of splash arts, I don't really think Lux needs new art, there are far worse splash arts.
Just look at normal Sion splash and compare it to Warmonger Sion, it's just so bad in comparison.
Or Soraka's classic splash...
Or Cho'gath with his awkward splash/icon.
Vs Caitlyn, I go completely berserking aggressive. It's the only way I know how to deal with her. I'll gladly lose 2-3 CS if it means I can get an AA + Explosive Shot on her. I want her parked on her tower. Even if it opens me up for ganks, she has nothing to assist with them anyway if she's tower humping. Fortunately, Tristana + Alistar have enough early burst at lvl 2/3 to scare most Caitlyns away. If I can survive the lane till lvl 9ish, I'll be fine. That means going fairly even in CS. Trist is infinitely more useful late game anyway.
On Lux: Personally, I think the new art gives her a good expression, but her pose is really odd.
Also, I couldn't find this "lore" that explained how she was borderline insane. I had a look at the Wiki, but all I could find there was her League Judgment where she seemed to have some repressed memories(?), nothing on being "insane" or anything.
Here's a li'l hint of what's holding Lux together:
Her labored breaths caught in her throat just long enough for her to whisper, “Because I have nothing else…”The darkness shattered around her, falling to the ground in shards. She crumpled to the ground, heaving sobs racking her body.
I seem to recall some other interesting tidbits in the JoJ, but can't for the life of me remember where and when.
