Leona's sword and shield should stay after death

Many champions have awesome death animations, and its really neat to see their dead bodies around the Fields of Justice after a fight and until they respawn.

However, Leona's Leona awesome sunlight death animation ends with her iconic sword and shield unceremoniously disappearing and sinking into the ground. Surely her sword and shield can remain after her death? Almost everyone in special skins or not leaves something behind to show they were there. It's time Leona left something more than a memory.

This change to leave something behind should be made to all champions that completely disappear (Diana Diana ), too.

P.S. While we're at it, can you guys remove the orbs from Targon's/Face of the Mountain? It doesn't make sense for that effect to remain post-death when there's nothing left of the champion.

P.P.S. This post is certainly not an exhaustive list, but Champs that disappear that should leave something behind: Diana Leona Lux Zed (and more that I'm sure summoners will come to their aid)...

I love how you only talk about Leona Leona, while Lux Lux's death animation has her sinking into the ground by light as well.

I'm indifferent to the sword/shield disappearing or staying because it wouldnt make that much of a difference, in my honest opinion.

But the orbs from item 3302, item 3097 and item 3401 should definitely be removed from sight when the champion dies.

I'm in favor of leaving something behind on ALL champions whether it's their corpse or not because it provides a visual history which may or may not be useful in the ongoing battle.

Add Zed to that list.

Well you can't say Zed "dies" since in his death animation he "cheats" death by going into a portal.Zed
