What If... Crowd Control Animations?

Hi Everyone!

I've never posted here (or anywhere) before but I just had a thought come to mind and was wondering if anyone else has ever had this thought and wanted to get people's opinions.

I'm not very well-versed in the whole forums world so if I'm breaking any "common knowledge" rules I'm sorry :(

Anyway....

Have you ever been in a game of league and you see some get knocked up and they are soaring through the sky and they're stuck in their running animation at 500% speed or some weird stuff?

Wouldn't it be neat/fun/exciting/realistic/engaging if there were a unique animation for each champion when they are knocked up? I think it'd be pretty cool and visually more satisfying for everyone involved! In fact, this could be applied to all forms of crowd control (except taunt maybe...).

I don't know. This is an idea I just had after watching some youtube videos and noticing it over and over again.

Thoughts?

It would definitely be cool, but probably too large of a project for Riot to feel confident investing in.

If I remember correctly, around the beginning of season 3, riot made stunned animations for champions that came out for a little while.

After Karma and ZAC they stopped however, I believe.

knocking up certain champions may result in pregnancy.

I actually thought you were going somewhere else with this...

IMO we need for clarity sake CC indicators so we know when the CC is over...this would allow both for correct CC stacking as an opponent as well as anticipation from the friendly team on how long they have to move in. I get this take away form the skill ceiling a little bit, but for clarity I could see this implemented eventually.

Think of it like an indicator like Yas E...or Naut Auto Attack Passive.

I don't know perhaps it would make it too binary. but having a visual on when cc starts and ends would be nice.

I think there is some in the game right now. I think Gnar might have one in Mini Form maybe.
