A few days ago, new chroma splash arts of different champions were revealed for the Chinese LoL servers. These high-resolution images have received many positive reactions from communities around the world. Now the reason for their unique design has been revealed. And some players might be disappointed.
In League of Legends, splash arts for skins and their chromas are sometimes the best on the skin, because it’s hard to see all the beautiful details in a match, where abilities fly left, right, and center. A few days ago, the splash arts for unique chromas on the Chinese server attracted a lot of attention and received a lot of positive feedback.
Now the reasons behind the unusual designs and why they are only available in China have been revealed.
LoL: Chromas cannot be purchased directly in China
Chromas in League of Legends are essentially skins for skins, this means that for some skins there are several other purchasable versions. So if you like the idea or design behind a skin, but can’t live with certain aspects of it, for example the color, you can get other designs for that skin.
Well, the same thing happened for some skins on the Chinese servers, where several designs were revealed that looked very different from anything we’ve seen before. Many gamers first thought these were AI-generated images – or photorealistic images of League of Legends champions. But no, those were unique splash arts for chromas.

And to answer a long-standing question right away – NO, they will not be available on Western servers, or any other server other than the Chinese server. The reasons behind this have now been revealed in a video by League of Legends News YouTuber ‘Rival’.
According to Rival, he found the answer on Reddit and quotes a user by the name of “DiligentDeer6244”, who wrote:
“In China, the regular Chromas they make them for are not available for purchase directly. They are in gacha. Probably the same for event chromas like these. So China is making these new splashes to incentivize buying gacha for them. »
So if gacha was more popular in western communities, we might get some cool chromas and splatter arts as well. Or to put it in Rival’s words,
“I actually kinda like that Riot China system, I wish they had it on the western servers, so we could spend our blue essence on it or something, because I have hundreds of thousands
It’s interesting how different League of Legends regions have these specialties. Although we really wish there were similar things for skins, chromas and splash arts on our servers as well. But maybe without all that gacha stuff behind it…
