You're right. It's not a coincidence. I wasn't privy to much of the hullabaloo over the presence or lack thereof of developer comments on this side of the pond however when it was brought to my attention I took a look around the forums on EUW and checked to see if I could join in a conversation somewhere.
Can you tell why you never came back in the first place? Because personally I dislike that more than not coming here at all, especially the way you came in with all the fuzz but abandoning us after 1 week. I hope you won't fail us completely again like you did last time.

Didn't kat already have a rework? Or at least new splash and icon?

What other champions are in the tube for reworks? Also love the ashe rework she really needed it.

Oh you! If there's one way to my heart, well.. parrots are one way, and Leona is also one way.. but another way to my heart is terrible puns. I would actually agree that Sivir also needs a major overhaul. I agree with everyone's comments on her model, animations, etc.

Kat is currently undergoing a visual rework in terms of model, animation, particles, etc. I unfortunately can't provide any additional info on upcoming reworks aside from what I've mentioned about Soraka and Katarina. As I'm able to communicate what's on the docket, I will.

I agree with the sivir needing a remodel as I have her spectacular skin and it is far from it.

I have a question about tristana, I remember reading on the NA boards that you were looking into chasing up on what happened to her Rocketeer skin, have you had any progress? and could you maybe bump Trist up in the ladder for remodeling as her animations seem clumsy, obv after Sivir and Nidalees feet.

Soraka does look "weird", but IMO there are others who need the rework more than her or kat. Sivir comes to mind, or Shen, Annie...
Btw, it's easy to say "I don't come to EU because there's no art discussion here", but the truth is if people on this forum knew someone fom Riot listens to them there'd be thousands of threads you could participate in. So it's the other way, there's no art discussion here because you guys don't come to EU.

You are reworking the Soraka model, which is great!
Any plans to make Taric more fabolous?

Also make us an Ironsolari Lux skin with epic armour, our ladies of light should be united! That and Lux lacks an epic skin.

Yeah, Tristana. That's a whole other thing. I'm not really at liberty to discuss that right now and honestly I'm not 100% on all the information anyway. As for a rework for her I don't think that's a priority right now. What I've mentioned so far has been priority, and there's also visual reworks on champions which I would personally like to see.

I agree, Sivir needs a visual rework.

If there's art discussion, I will come. That's why I've been snooping around. I'm hoping to spark some of that discussion and give some answers where I can. Now that I've been at Riot for over a year, I feel as though I have a lot to contribute. I've been around the champion and skins teams extensively, so I have insight to offer so long as I'm not giving away specific feature details, release dates, or other sensitive information.

Also, I do listen. It is however difficult to keep tabs on every single conversation, even on NA. I do 90% of my posting outside of work. That's a lot of my free time put into talking to the community. Realistically I can't be everywhere, even though I'd love to be. If the art discussions keep happening, I'll be back to put in my two cents when I can. I hope to help keep dialogue going. It's something I very much enjoy.

@IronStylus The classic Kat splash art is perfect and it fits in the current game(Plz dont change this) however a few other of her skin arts demands a rework.I am happy about her model changes though

Plus firefox ahri and frostblade irelia are having similar faces ,so Whats up with that

We really do appreciate that. I for one really enjoy it when you're around, as I'm always super excited about new art and champion stuff going on (shiny stuffz *.*).
I do hope you will keep coming around. As you might've noticed there's another topic going on about this particular issue, which is a little bit more.. toxic, in nature. Thing is, we were all excited when you announced your arrival, only for you to do exactly that which many have done in the past, and of which you specifically said you wouldn't; stick around. I don't blame you at all, but it's a bit of a shame.

Just put a post-it on your screen or something, saying ''EU loves you too'', to remind yourself once in a while.
