Comprehensive list of all of Jayce's Removed Assets

Preface: Jayce used to have many secondary animations and particles that made him look a lot more visually impressive but were removed for no reason then never added back into the game. Videos will be what the assets should look like, you can test their current state in game for yourself. Note that the Forsaken skin doesn't have many of these problems, though Default, Full Metal, Debonair, and presumably Brighthammer do. I'll be using Debonair in my examples since it's easiest to highlight the missing assets with.

Misc Animations

  1. Video | Screenshot | When standing still Jayce's weapon will not expand or contract when the idle animation plays.

  2. Video | Upon death Jayce's weapon will not expand or contract when it's power is imploding upon itself.

Auto Attack Assets

  • Melee Stance
  1. Video | Screenshot 1 | Screenshot 2 | Hammer used to contract to a smaller form after passive was used, no longer occurs.
  • Ranged Stance
  1. Video | Cannon expanding / contrasting with attacks no longer occurs.
  • Video | Screenshot | In random cases, particles at the bottom of Jayce's weapon will not occur on attack. This is an odd bug since it seems to not occur 100% of the time.

  • Gfycat (live version of skin) | Though this was recorded to highlight the missing particles and animations, it also shows how the animation loop is broken, jerking back and forth in an absolutely ugly manner.

Shockblast Assets

  1. Video | Cannon does not expand / contract when Shockblast is cast.

Thundering Blow Assets

  • Video | Screenshot | Hammer no longer leaves a trail of sparks, no longer applies a lightning / circle effect on the target knocked back.

Bonus: The most annoying (minor) bug in LoL

  • Ranged Stance
  1. Gfycat | Auto attacks with passive up take much longer than without passive. This is the most annoying bug on Jayce that has been present for 2+ years now.

Thanks for reading, and remember everyone, these are Trivial Issues so they don't matter at all.

The hammer expansion/contraction looks like a really neat animation, would be cool if they kept it. They might have removed these animations because they were too complex for low-spec computers and caused frame drops

A lot of things I didn't know about... needs fixing.
