Yesterday, I was looking through tvtropes.org, specifically the section with Jhin's tropes, and in it it said that Jhin's eye colour is different in a few interpretations. I knew that Jhin's eyes in game are blue and almost everywhere else they're brown, but something that intrigued me was that Jhin's icon apparently also has blue eyes. So I checked, and yes, the eye that Jhin shows in edited in his icon to be blue instead of brown.
That got me curious about who else has had their splash art edited in their icons. And so, here's a list:
-
Akali's icon has a brighter lighting than her splash art
-
Amumu's icon doesn't show any sign of the spell he's looking at, which a small piece of it would be visible otherwise
-
Anivia's wing can't be seen in the background of her icon.
-
Annie doesn't seem to have Tibbers behind her in her icon, as if she did there's be a light background to her left to signify Tibbers' underbelly
-
Aurelian Sol's icon seems to have his head tilted up slightly. Also, his mouth has a glow to it in his splash art which his icon doesn't contain (I now know why I thought the icon looked weird)
-
Bard's one isn't super obvious (At least, compared to the others) but in its splash shows small particles coming from his face holes which aren't present in his icon.
-
Braum's icon doesn't feature the sunlight shining on the mountain behind him
-
Camille's icon doesn't feature the buildings behind her head and seems to have a brighter lighting (Though it's less obvious than Akali's lighting change)
-
Cassiopea's icon seems to throw out the fact that she's in some sort of corridor completely, with a blue-ish background behind her. She also doesn't seem to be raising the arm furthest from her (Kinda hard to tell which because the icon's also flipped)
-
Cho'Gath's icon's background seems less detailed than his splash, as a small piece of the mountain should be seen
-
For some reason, Darius seems to have a different chest plate in his Icon, as instead of some sort of chin guard (Or whatever he has there), there seems to be more of the red cloth he wears.
-
Dianna's splash art features a bit of the Solari temple behind Diana's head, which isn't seen in her icon
-
The shadow from on Ekko's forehead from his mohawk can't be seen on his icon.
-
Ezreal's Icon doesn't seem to have changed from his pre-VU state.
-
Fiddlestick's arm seems not to be raised in his icon

-
Ivern's icon doesn't show the trees behind him, nor the light from the magic he's casting.
-
Jarvan's background is completely different compared to the sky and blue flag he was infront of, and he doesn't seem to be raising his arm in his icon.
-
The...thing Jax has on the top of his hood doesn't seem to flow to his right, which is strange because it can still be seen behind him.
-
As mentioned above, Jhin's eye is different in his icon than in his splash, with his splash showing him with a brown human eye and his icon showing a black void with a blue eye peaking out. Similar to a certain hoodie wea-
-
Jinx's icon doesn't have Fishbones in the background. Also doesn't have the buildings behind her. Just a pink void.
-
Katarina seems to have gotten the memo, and doesn't show her arm behind her in her icon
-
Kayn's icon doesn't include the shadows growing around in the background
-
Rhaast and SA Kayn have different lightings in their icons, with SA Kayn having a blue lighting on his face, whilst Rhaast has just a normal lighting on his face as apposed to the dark, almost demonic lighting in his splash. Yes, these two forms of Kayn technically have their own splash.
-
Kha'Zix's arm isn't seen behind his head in his Icon
