Heavy champions don't feel it.

Nautilus Chogath Galio Malphite Maokai etc. All feel like they're hollow or made of Styrofoam. They don't have any of the weight, heft etc. That huge titan style champions should. Dunno if it's floaty animations or what, but seriously.

i mean, Gragas Gnar Alistar get that "heavy" feeling pretty well

edit: naut, cho, and malph are all older models with older animations

Nautilus was designed to walk as if he was walking underwater so I don't think he counts

Yeah it's pretty awkward playing early-game Nunu, doing no damage, but also feeling like you're the personification of a wet mattress.

At least Mordekaiser and Renekton feel like it.

Too bad they also do ridiculous levels of damage.

I've always thought Illaoi had some great heft to her animations

What the fuck do you even build on them anyway?

I tried playing Galio the other day, and after the initial item 3152 I want back to look for additional options but found nothing with enough synergy to be arsed to throw into his build.

I did finally build an item 3001 and item 3151 on him, but he clearly doesn't have a lot of tanky AP items which fit his role well while still providing enough CDR to be able to keep up with melee AD juggernaut/diver/assassins. Same with Sylas where people actually build fucking item 3285 on him, an item which provides no HP and is meant to work best on burst mages.

The last thing you want is to build armour and go full tank and then be a sitting duck in this meta where you still don't get to disrupt teamfights due to how shitty frontlining is.

Best part is when you play fast champs likeMasterYi and can't even catch up.

Have you seen marvel movies? The characters are floaty too, with no weight to them in many fights.

Maybe its just me but Galio in particular feels great to play. Especially full AP when you combo somebody and finish them with the DUNK.

feel is subjective, so this is all invalid.

I feel this way about PROJECT: Leona. For her, the sound effects are what make her feel like she lacks weight. I seem to remember her having more substantial noise pre-release, but her live version doesn't feel like a tank slamming around.

The splash art has no correlation as to what his walking animation is [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Hes just walking underwater, I mean have you seen his taunts...
