The larger issue is one of page design. Your minor change to size doesn't offer a solution to the stylistic issue of leading an article with a header image.

That is not how a wiki page is built.

A wiki exists to distribute information, not to appear pretty and dressed up - that kind of thing belongs on other kinds of websites, like blogs where appearance is a part of the product. The page exists to serve the information. Wikipedia's Manual of Style (Lead Section) is well.. the resource for wiki page design. Disclaimer: Now, we are not Wikipedia, but our wiki is built of the same materials and design. Essentially, it describes how the lead should be both concise and accessible. Having an image as the first part of an article followed by bulleted paragraphs (see FIFA_World_Cup) is simply not in line with established standards nor does it effectively convey the purpose of the page.

Leading with an image is acceptable for things like when Riot is promoting a new event, but this is a wiki that exists to provide users with information above all else.

There are standards to follow, because they are consistent and because they have Purpose.
