Jayce's animations are broken

Jayce's weapon no longer has any animations and is static. To show what I mean, here's a quick webm.

Notice how in the first segment (live servers) casting Q does not make the cannon expand or contract in any way, while the ability preview in the client shows a nice animation when being cast.

Another example is in auto attacks. The cannon form clearly stays static when attacking, when it should be expanding and moving.

(I tested this with debonair Jayce since it's clearer to see, but this issue affects all skins.)

Can these be fixed? That would be great.

Hey Joe Da Eskimo,

Thanks for the report! We're currently looking into the issue.

Any chance these animations will be fixed anytime soon?

Hi, it's been about 9 months now and this issue is still around. You replied to my post on /r/leagueoflegends two months ago saying you'd have the issue looked at. The only thing I've seen fixed since then is the preview for summoner 21 on the League Client Alpha, as seen here: http://i.imgur.com/pBtGEap.gifv Is this going to be pushed to PBE / live any time soon or is this never going to be resolved? Thank you.

Hiya!

As noted in the more recent post (2 months ago), I'd stated that this isn't something we're looking to resolve, but I would be looking into the particle issues (which we have looked into and bug tickets have been created accordingly).

I spoke with the video capture team, and this video was created nearly a year ago, which is why the animation appears differently than it does on PBE and live.

I just saw your Reddit DM - hope this clears up that post as well. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask me. As a heads up, I use these boards much more frequently than Reddit. :) My red name there is primarily for bug mega threads, or when skin stuff's broken and front page news. :P

Hey sorry to bump an old post but I was watching the recent RPG skins trailer and saw that the auto attack animations seem to be fixed (at least on Jayce Brighthammer)! Here's the link to the time code. Since this was definitely recorded on internal servers, will this change be on PBE next cycle? I'm so excited that this is finally back to its original state. Thank you!!
