Idea for Rek'Sai Burrowed Recall Animation
Hello, Kouga here. Had an idea. Not exactly a Skin concept but this seemed like the most appropriate place for this.
I have been playing some of the Rekt'Sai [sic] and have rather enjoyed myself, but I noticed something. When you are burrowed and go to recall.. nothing happens. No animation. No movement. You just... sit there... and then... are at the Fountain.
Well that seems kind of boring.
Considering that most Champions not only have a standard recall but often get special recalls for new skins (like most of Pool Party and even random ones like Arctic Ops Varus) I thought it'd just be a nice touch if they added a default recall animation for Rek'Sai's burrowed state.
I mean it wouldn't be difficult. Here:
When Rek'Sai uses 'Recall' and is Burrowed, she begins to circle the center along the outer ring of the recall edge. She rises and sinks as she circles, so her shoulders and spine become more visible before sinking down to nearly completely submerged, and gains speeds as she goes. A few seconds before the spell completes, she breaks the surface near the edge and "dives" down into the center, vanishing into the ground as the spell completes. Back at the Fountain, Rek'Sai that bursts up from the ground upon successful recall, before landing back into her Burrowed state
Or for a more light-hearted take (or maybe as a recall on a more humorous skin)
When Rek'Sai uses 'Recall' and is Burrowed, she goes completely underground and burrows around in a few zig-zag lines, leaving behind a trail of upturned earth. Rek'Sai's torso pops up in the center of the circle, and she is looking around, holding up one hand as if scanning the horizon. She then sees her destination, (bonus points if this was coded to face the fountain), she quickly digs down leaving behind a gaping hole as she drills straight down. The hole, of course, vanishes when she does. When she arrives at the fountain her fin bursts up and she resumes her Burrowed state
For those that didn't have a proper childhood this is a nod to Bugs Bunny who would be digging around in an underground tunnel and then look around, lost, making a crack about taking the wrong turn at Albuquerque.
