League’s fiery kitsune has received a definite update to the quality of her animations, which bring them in-line with the modern style of the game. The sound effects, some of which remain the same from Ahri’s original 2011 release, have also received an update.

Ahri’s new splash art
Popstar, Midnight, Foxfire, and Challenger Ahri have all received updates to their splash art. Some of these splash arts have been in place for over a decade and definitely needed an update. However, others were perfectly serviceable, and many fans in thecommentsare voicing their concerns over the changes.
While changes on the PBE aren’t final, it’s unlike after commissioning and approving these new splash arts that Riot Games is going to go back to the old ones. Fans are just going to have to get used to the new splashes, which have no in-game effect.
Changes to Ahri, one of the fan-favorite characters of League of Legends, are always going to elicit some controversy. But overall, the updates just show that Riot has the dedication to keep their game fresh, updating decades-old content even when it won’t directly benefit their bottom line. It’s great to see old skins get some love and attention.
