Snow Day Gnar Animation is over-stretched [GAMEPLAY]

Laminar Flow·Dec 13, 2015·23 votes·3,532 views

The boomerang catch animation on Snow Day Gnar is not exactly "bugged" but it is causing me not to enjoy the skin as much as I should. The animation uses the stretch effect on his hat to make it fall with him. This stretching effect is normally not visible on other animations in the game (1-2 frames), however, this stretching lasts around 3-4 frames. Note: this is not an issue in his other skins because his hat becomes detached from his head.

You can view the individual frames here or watch the video: HERE

To reproduce:

Play Gnar
Throw Q
Watch as his adorable hat becomes silly puddy

I understand this might be a bit knit-picky but it is causing me not to enjoy this absolutely adorable skin as much. I hope something can be done to fix this.

It always makes me smile wholeheartedly when a Rioter says that they will try and find a solution!

UPDATE: We looked into this, and we won't be fixing this, due to how it's barely noticeable at game height and speed. (Sorry that it's not the news you were hoping for, but wanted to let you know that we did take a look into this!)

Thanks for the update! Indeed, not the response I was hoping for, but I understand not all can be fixed for every person!

Thanks again!

Okay, okay. I lied. :x

I talked to an animator who saw this issue, and it looks like it's a quick fix! While it's not super noticeable, it's still a bug! ^-^

Interesting catch; I'm not sure if the cap could come off his head like the other skins (It'd probably look a bit weird for what should be a snug cap to come off so easily). Not quite sure of the technical details behind animations, so I couldn't offer any solutions.
