Don't make Brutal Strikes use Malph's crit animation
-
It looks stupid. Malphite clapping for every attack for 6 seconds looks stupid as hell.
-
What if he actually crits? True Critphite is probably entirely gone now with both SOTD and the 40% AD steroid gone, but I can still see Triforce as a viable situational item on him, which does include 10% crit chance.
-
There already is enough clarity for opponents that Malphite's W is active. He turns red, his hands glow, and there's a tiamat-like animation on the ground, which is also getting a VFX change to make it more noticeable.
If this is intended to make his brutal strikes look more... "brutal," I'd say just wait for his inevitable VU to give him new, separate animations for while Brutal Strikes is active, because turning Malphite into "the clap" looks more silly than brutal.
