What champion skills would have to change visually for a cinematic?

After watching the new cinematic and seeing that they changed Ahri's charm, it reminded me of how they also changed Garen's spin in the last video. So I was thinking to myself, what other skills would they need to change drastically to get it to fit in a cinematic format. What skills do you guys think would need to change to fit a cinematic experience?

  • I personally think Thresh's flay without the AoE indication would just look like a basic attack, so I'd imagine it would look more like he is trying to trip the enemy with his chain.
  • Zilean's time bombs would be a bit weird just floating over someone's head, I'm not sure how they would fix that. Nor would it make sense for someone who doesn't know his mechanics to see his bomb explode and have another one sitting there ticking away anew.
  • Also Riven's AoE stun would look a bit awkward in movie format, I can see the runes forming from her, but no idea how to indicate that it would cause someone to be disabled for a moment.

So feel free to debate about other skills in the game that would need to be changed to fit inside a cinematic.

Morde, though watching the crotch maces actually getting a hit would be hilarious

Amumu's tears would require some tweaking at the very least- it'd look weird if he just had a perfect circular pool of tears around him 24/7.

Oooo I like this.

Taunts are an interesting mechanic to be cinimatized (is that a word??)

Rammus W, Renekton W, Renekton Q, Vi W proc, Akali E, Cho'gath Q are a few that would be difficult I think.

Yeah, I have a feeling for Amumu they would most likely focus on his bandage toss, ult and maybe make him do a headbutt for tantrum? His tears would be hard to do, most likely they would have the enemies walk into an area where they realize their feet are starting to burn. Looking down they realize they had walked into a pool of tears that had time to build up with Amumu sitting on a rock or something.

Taunts are interesting too, they would most likely work a bit like charm did, were Darius got pulled away from Leona by Ahri. It would most likely look like a challenging glare/look that would most likely be used on a character that is known to be a bit bull headed and rushes for them. Rammus W would be most likely a cleaner looking version of his in game, and he would most likely really curl up lol. I can't really see how they would do Akali's E though...

Thanks for the comments guys.

I think Lee Sin's kit would have to look a bit different. Wukong's ult would probably have some differences, like Garen's spin. His clone would be pretty interesting to see though. Lulu's polymorph would be funny. I really want to see Karthus
