I just realized Riot made Dominion tower capturing animations useless.

Well not useless, Rek'Sai's tunnels still show them but good god to think of the time animating those just thrown away. Each champion has one and now they're useless. Some of them were pretty cool and showed of personality of the champion. That means someone had a list of various animations to choose from before coming up with the one that we all have seen.

What if some of those animations caused bugs which someone had to work tirelessly for to get working. Kind of seems useless now.

Can the leftovers be used for champions that don't have recall animations? How about a dominion successor to atleast make the animations valid.

Something just hit me and that's the thought that some champion or map designs could be limited because older champions don't have a usable animations for certain events. I.E. Poro throw. Your champion just stands still as a poro launches from them. I guess you couldn't exactly make a Basketball mini game if only Darius knows how to Dunk.

The "Dominion tower capturing animation" is still used when destroying Reksai's tunnels & Skarner's crystal area, I think.

Skarner brings Dominion to the rift. :)
