Original Post

Maokai big arm has always been his left arm, but in lor it is his right arm. This can be fixed easily by mirroring both of his images.

What about EZREAL??!!!

Thanks for the callout! The fix for this should be in for 1.0

Thanks for you reply! BTW, does "the fix" include Ezreal, Maokai and Swain?

It will include Ezreal (lvl 2) and Maokai (both lvls)

For Maokai and Ezreal the fix was just about flipping the images. These were images that were flipped during the painting process and just not flipped back when the image was completed (digital artists flip the canvas a lot to get fresh eyes on the painting while it's in progress)

For Swain, we would have needed to repaint part of the image since flipping it would put Swain's demon arm on the wrong side (this was a mistake on our part, not an artifact of flipping the canvas) and given that making changes beyond that point would have put instability into the launch build, I thought it best not to change this right now.

I will say, unlike Ezreal and Maokai, where the reversed pieces were major character defining elements, Swain's knee pad less of a key characteristic, so we may not make this change. We will however keep a closer eye on champion art in the future.

Just saw the post about Vi as well. Will look into getting her and Swain fixed and do a sweep of all of our future content today.
