Bring old Shumpo animation back

Katarina

I'd like the old Shumpo skill animation. The new one is quite bad to be honest. The old one was really badass - exactly what would you expect from someone as Katarina - appearing behind the opponent in a flash. If I recall correctly they change it because it leaves little time to react for the opponent. Well its completely the same as the new one - and that is how its supposed to be. No assassin "tells" you when he/she is about to engage.

Please RIOT bring the old Shumpo animation back!

All I personally want is that old kick sound that came with it :]. I was personally a bigger fan of old katarina, but I still enjoy the new one. I would enjoy being able to swap back and forth between old and new models though for nostalgia purposes...

Anyways, I'm rambling, I want the only shunpo animation back for that kick noise!!!

I totally agree. Give us the old shunpo and all old Kat's visual. Now shunpo has two big problems:

  1. Shunpo now is very slow and predictable. Katarina was fun because of her concept, which is fast assassination and flashing;

  2. You can't choose when to shunpo behind the target or not anymore, it's always behind the target. Sometimes you shunpo on a target and Kat goes to the opossite direction giving the enemy a chance to finish you off or even escape.

Besides, the new Kat's sprites sucks :s Just give us the old animations, her hair and walking and everything is going to be alright. Also, consider to give Kat some CC, we no more have Killer Instinct neither Grievous Wounds, unless you cast Death Lotus and that's a pretty pathetic.
