Let us use B animations in ARAM

DynamiteGazelle·Sep 6, 2015·284 votes·16,797 views

One of the big draws for newer skins is the unique back animations.

It would be awesome if we could use those animations in ARAM. Just let the animation play and nothing happens when it completes.

That was completely unneeded. If you knew what the skins are based on you wouldn't need to rely on such a childish comment to be "funny".

I swear this needs to be an actual skin. If you start with a red trinket, cv, and start dancing, it makes a disco ball appear and plays disco music!

Yeah. I had this idea last week. I was in voice chat with some friends, and we went against an arcade Riven. In voice I said "she has one of the best recall ani.... oh... nevermind." That's what inspired me to chase a couple things down, ask the right people, and with a little help (cause I have almost no experience with actually changing spell stuff) I got something working Friday. It's on PBE now. I just checked in a fix 30 min ago to remove the icon for the "recall buff" because you're not actually doing anything. In any case, press B, see animation (if you have one). It will not have the blue beam, or a cast bar, or a channel bar, and it will still be interrupted by damage like other recall, but it will play the animations just fine.

Enjoy! -Griftrix

Wow! Now that's what I call a quick turnaround! That's gotta be some kind of league record lol.

Thanks! :D

GriftrixSep 9, 20153 votes

I was working on it before I even knew about this thread. It's times like this we start talking about psychic players. I think it's mostly self selection in remembering the posts that happen to be about what we're doing.

Graha TiaSep 9, 20152 votes

any chance we could get this on summoners rift too as like Ctrl-5 or Ctrl-7 so we can have a version of the recall animation without the blue light?

GriftrixSep 9, 201511 votes

That's not really a high priority for me personally. I think the benefit is really low here, and it's not as simple as you might think. You may think that a recall animation is like an emote, but it's actually four times more complex. First, there is the casting animation, then there is a channel animation that can have a looping part. Then there is a channel wind down animation, that plays animation length from the end of the channel (this doesn't really work for charge channeling, as you don't know how long it will be charging for). Finally, after the channel is complete, if the spell succeeds, we play the final animation (what you might see at base if you pay attention).

Replacing an already existing thing on ARAM (was stubbed to a blank spell) was simple. Adding a new thing for SR doesn't have the same benefits, has bigger potential drawbacks, and is more complex to implement. I did the first one during lunch.

So, I'm not saying it won't happen, but I don't think I'll be doing it, and it's probably low or not a priority for others as well.

Hope my explanation made sense. (brace for downvotes)

;c i would love this as an option for lux especially on star guardian because I can barely see her recall. the blue light just overpowers the yellow pink colours and i can barley see anything ;c

MyrlianSep 9, 20151 votes

I've had this "moment" twice recently, and other times in the past but never thought it would be worth asking for. (figured it would be too much work without enough interest, guess I was wrong on both counts :D ) Just the other day I got Annie in ARAM and was talking to someone about choosing Frostfire or Panda and I it went something like: "My favorite thing about Panda Annie is her recall... er... Frostfire it is then" and also with Winterwonder Orianna. Anyway thanks!

1000angrybeesSep 6, 201512 votes

couldn't they just disable the recall itself (and maybe remove the effects) while leaving the animations and particles by themselves?

or is it too hard to remove those layers/mechanics

DynamiteGazelleSep 6, 20152 votes

That's exactly what I mean :)

GriftrixSep 8, 20154 votes

Turns out, it's NEARLY that easy. You also have to hide the channel and cast bars (which I did).

yea, honestly I don't know why they don't just give that recall animation to his base skin, It would look amazing.

Reaper SorakaSep 6, 20154 votes

What happens to Reaper Soraka after she reaps the ...soil soul? There are the important questions that can only be answered with backing animations in ARAM.

Just set the recall cast timer to an hour or something, it couldn't be hard to do.

Edit: When I think of it, the animations are sped up with Baron Buff... It would take forever to see the animation that way! Hmmm... Still, this should be done!

Thats like saying some one playing Shen is abusing scuddle crab because its dash looks like his taunt. "He forced my flash because I thought he was taunting but it was just a crab"

Just make it an emote like /Recall to play the animation without the actual recall channel. Boom, done for both SR and ARAM.

It's actually not pointless, if I buy a skin I don't want to waste the recall.

i also asked for this like a week ago, when i couldt play star guardian lux recall.

very nice, that someone had the same thought.

this might sound like a stupid question, but coudnt you just mush those 3 parts together into a single animation and then turn it into an emote?

i imagine it pretty much like cutting a video file together from 3 different videos. might be totally wrong here.

i guess the reason why this is working so weird are effects that reduce recall times, like the utility mastery and baron buff.

GriftrixSep 9, 20152 votes

Correct! that is the reason why it's broken out like that. because of varying length recalls. We could put them together in 1 clip, but we would have to do that for every skin (which would take longer than lunch after I'm done eating).
