Title. Seems really wonky and out of place to me - there's no weight behind it, his dinky little arm doesn't seem like it should be able to throw someone, the entire move animation as a whole is really dissatisfying. It makes sense with the kit mechanically, but I'd love to see some changes to the animation to make it feel better. I think more leg movement (a push off and then a bend on landing?) would go a long way, not sure what can be done with the throw though.
"dinky little arm" dude it's comparable in size to Vi's GIANT ROBOT FISTS and it's his NORMAL arm. His arm is at least as big as Vi's torso.
Have you looked at his arm? That thing is beefy as hell. Just compare to the guy branding it in his splash art (its bigger than the guy's torso). Plus it looks like his mechanical waist is helping throw them too. His arm is mainly just picking them up.
The thing I find awkward about his E animation is that he doing an underarm swing, to throw his target overhead. He also turns to his right to complete the toss, making the physics look completely off. The beginning of the animation starts out really visceral when he lunges and stretches out his arm, but the toss itself looks a bit poor. I think it would probably look better if he turned back to his left to complete the toss... idk
I agree the animation feels really dull. In comarison.. Volibear's Rolling Thunder has him running on all fours and putting his whole body into the flip. I think they should have Urgot using more of his body.
I think the whole animation is Hilarious, just picks you up & props you right next to him. In reality though if Urgot actually came at me like that, I'd be absolutely horrified.
i agree with eternal the dudes arm is a fucking tree trunk
I wish instead of the wierd woosh forward he does he would do a quick spider skuttle with all his legs.
Hes got rocket knees and 6 legs, have the back legs blast and propel him forward for his grab
Personally the size of the arm and leg movement is fine, his legs are robotic and crablike so it makes sense for the torso to move independant of it. I think the throw does need some more weight to it though. Maybe a more dramatic arm movement or something, I know they were going for a shirtgrab kind of motion but it looks like a light scoop even if the arm is huge and his motion is quick.
the movement is litrally modeled after a jumping spider. However riot's animator did not take nto account that something that looks natural on a 2g creature looks cartoonish when scaled up. Urgot's E movement has no weight to it, that is the problem
This looks so much like Diablo from Hots.
