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.

Like I said in my first sentence, that doesn't even last for move then a second. Your champion basically twitches and BOOM, done. Not really worth the animation work.

If these guys Ekko Sion gets to have new attack animations on turrets, then I don't see a problem whether Riot wants them to have the animation or not.

That isn't the point. What I'm saying is that one has been trash across the board. Not even a handful of champions have special tower attacking animations but they all even Jhin and probably Ao Shin have Dominion tower capturing animations.

It can still be useful once in a while when Dominion is the mode available in Rotating Game Mode right?

Not sure, I think that's for feature gamemodes only. If it is in the rotation then yeah, I agree that it's not a waste.

How does his passive work on ARAM or The Twisted Treeline.
