Imagine Rag-Doll Physics on Death

I think that would make for some hilarious deaths. Like, an Alistair dying during a headbutt would send his body flailing in that direction. A Riven, mid flip, just dies and her limp body continues to flip out. IDK rag doll is funny to me.

It would add even more clutter to fights. Imagine a team-fight going down in mid-lane where everyone is using their ults and abilities. Two people get popped by an adc/burst mage and suddenly you have two character models (potentially large ones) flying around while everyone else who's still alive is trying to focus. In the heat of the moment you might see a body flailing around (like a Hecarim that died mid-ult) and, not realizing that he was already dead, you throw your ult at him to stop him from getting to your backline. It would just add way too much visual clutter to an already particle-heavy game.

Also, a lot of champions already have unique death animations. Zed crawls into a little shadow portal, Brand burns up into a pile of ashes, Sejuani gets crushed by Bristles, etc. Ragdoll would make these impossible, so it'd be wasting a lot of work that people had already done.

Don't get me wrong, I think it'd be hilarious. Ragdoll is an awesome mechanic that has made many games way better just by existing. I just don't believe it fits into League's more serious dynamic. That said, it could possibly be used in something like URF, which is already over-the-top and meant to be pure enjoyable chaos.

Imagine all the bugs Sneaky would find from it :3

It would be a pretty big task for riot to do it now because of the way the game is currently built. It would be cool if they rebuilt the game on a new engine and kept the balance and map the same it would be a huge project though.

Or Teemo just walking alon- DARKNE- And the only thing Teemo sees is Nocturne's corpse flying above him after he set off all mushrooms in his path.

This would be funny, but we really shouldn't reward kills any more than we already do. Kills don't win games, objectives do, and this sort of change is just going to encourage people to go for kills instead of doing what they are supposed to do instead. We get enough of that already without making it funnier when characters die.

That would be a funny idea. Likely not gonna happen tho sadly :(

(I imagine Taliyah just dying off the murder bridge, and she falls for eternity into the abyss on the animation)

Taliyah

It would honestly take away a lot of anger upon death. Getting slammed by Sion ulti and flung away would be funny.
