New Blitzcrank's skins walking animation

Are you actually not going to change his walking animation in this skin Riot? The skins look awesome from model to abilities but for him to walk like the basic Blitz model is just too disgusting to look at. I really hope you guys update it before publishing it because from my perspective you guys are just being lazy and not producing content worthy of the value you price for the 1350 skins.

sigh People were begging Riot to change this animation, saw many threads about it. Seems like they decided against it.

Too bad, I thought I could finally have a good skin for Blitzcrank, but this really ruins it for me.

It looks like a nice skin but it's totally ruined by that animation... it just doesn't fit at all

Yeah. I was actually going to buy the 1850rp bundle for both, but I'm not sure I want to anymore. My eyes can't look past that walking animation..

the patch is already ready to be shipped so its too late to add anything like that

if anything we might have to wait two weeks for the next patch and hopefully they add something to it by then

Here's a good suggestion, instead of adding that walking bouncing animation... why not make it still bounce, but just up and down(not left and right), so that way, it would make sense, since he is a heavy machine and it would still keep that bouncing animation that represents Blitz.

Was going to buy it but seeing Blitz waddling like a duck in that epic skin looks too silly to take seriously. I'll pass.

ppffttthahahahaah. dude they released death sworn jinx as death sworn kat and thought it was K

BTW it's clear you dont play blitzcrack cause all his skins share the same animation taunts and jokes.

the pitover customs one is the only one with a unique walk but all the other animations taunts and jokes are the same.

your paying for the pretty colors when it comes to blitz [slayer-jinx-catface]

iBlitzcrank's walk/run animation would have worked just fine for this theme.

Yep. Was going to buy, definitely won't atm. If they change it and keep the bundle available, I still would. But they have to change that walk animation for me to grab it.

I deadass just saw it. That's like building a plane but using it on the road instead of flying with it.

I was like 80% sure boards were overreacting, then I saw the skin spotlight just now and wow wtf is that? I'm fine of he's got a bit of movement that way but right now it looks really bad

I mean, I like Blitz's base walk animation.

I was really shocked when they didn't change it, I honestly thought they will when SkinSpotlights posted the pre-release video. Guess we just have to accept this garbage.

That walk and the fact that base skin blitz has no knees keeps me from playing him and buying this skin.

Riot could profit off this. Make people pay 500 extra rp for a better walking animation too.

Just got off my lazy ass to find it. Oh my god thats fucking awful. Why would they ship that? Completely ruins the skin

but blitzcrank is part duck, have you seen those feet?

Elikain11/6/2017, 7:42:59 PM1 votes

Riot has said that a completely different walking animation meant (in their playtests) that a lot of people didn't recognize Blitz as a champion because his model is way too different. That's why they kept the default walking animation.

If you're going to argue that iBliztcrank has a hover animation, it still looks like Blitz. A new Lancer Rogue/Paragon model looks quite different than original Blitz.

Does anyone have a link?

It's not gonna happen in this patch if they do decide to change it unfortunately. We'd have to wait for a future patch.

Leetri11/6/2017, 5:15:26 PM1 votes

They won't change the animation because when they did it was too hard to tell it was Blitz. Piltover Customs Blitz and Battleboss Blitz get away with a different animation because you can still tell it's Blitz from the upper body. They'd have to change the model to look more like classic Blitz if they were to change the animation.
