Patch 9.4 Walking Animations

xbeastie·Feb 22, 2019·5 votes·2,424 views

Patch 9.4 has been a great idea in terms of buffs/nerfs. However, the new walking animations are just unnecessary to update into the game. The new walking animations is a very distracting, for example the Gragas walk makes him look like he's gonna fall over any second. The Lux walking animation is pretty unfitting to her happy character and make her seem too serious. The Katarina walking animation has the biggest update in my opinion. She now walks (without boots) like she had her arm ripped off her body and reattached weirdly. Katlife said, "this looks so unnatural" because it is 0.0 Now the Katarina walk out of base is just dumb at this point. What is the purpose of the boots walk? It cancels her w dagger-throwing animation and it makes her look like a meme. The movement stop animation looks fine. If riot reverts the new walking animations I think that would be great.

Luxs walk looks fine and zyra has the walk from the cinematic which is nice although gragas and Kat look silly

Not to mention that dashing Katarina looks like another Naruto wannabe.

I have mixed feelings about the new Zyra walking animation. One one hand I love the naomi campbell fierce-ass strut, but on the other hand it doesn't look good at all angles and could use tweaks.

TF looks a little Derpy. I think his arms just need to be messed with some to fix it.

Personally I think it adds flavor and personality to the characters and gives a nice visual tell that someone doesn't have boots. I don't really see how it could be distracting unless you are actively staring at your character's moving animation in which that isn't the reason you're being distracted, its because you're staring at your model for some reason
