Proposal to remake Mecha Rengar recall

Mcemc··116 votes·4,084 views

There's really no need to make some childish or cringy car transformation just because it's a mecha skin. He's already a cat, there's nothing he should transform into. Furhermore, Mecha Kha'Zix was first mecha skin released, and he doesn't transform into anything, which means that there was no intention that every champ within this skin line should transform into something.

IMO perfect recall for this skin could be that by pressing B, Rengar leans down (like he does when you enter the bush and stop moving) scans the ground and finds the trace of Kha'zix, then displays his blueprint in front of him (like in the splash art), then he hears something (Kha'zix), turns around his head, quickly pulls out his blade (like Wolverine does with his claws) and then digitally disappears/turns invisible.

Such recall fits Rengar theme and his lore, because he is a hunter, not some kind of taxi driver in the jungle. At the moment, the transformation into a car does not make any sense and doesn't fit Rengar overall, and it feels like designer team just were out of ideas what to do about his recall, that's why the recall is so out of place/random. If Rengar transformed into a car during ultimate, then yes, it would make sense, but now, it just doesn't.

Rengar

P.S. Would be grateful if someone posted this idea in pbe mecha rengar feedback thread, because i have no access to pbe.

What if I told you that skins don't necessarily follow lore.

b-b-b-but there was totally a time when Poppy became a noxian...

then a few years later turned into a lolipop right? that totally happened

Mecha Rengar was made only because Khazix has one, and Khazix is Rengars nemesis in lore. ''Don't necessarily follow lore at all''

JaxMoonStealer3 votes

How do you know that's the reason they made Mecha Rengar for?

Hachira18 votes

Khazix literally does nothing when he recalls. He sticks his claws in the ground. Mecha malph: transforms into a digger Aatrox: plane Sion: train

Glory ln Death6 votes

Sion turns into a train during his ult, not recall. During recall, he sinks into the ground on a... service elevator or whatever. He just "packs up" into a box form.

Hachira2 votes

You're right. I haven't made myself clear on that point. Love the packing animation tho Sad that i cant get that skin item 3070 gotta priotize food and beer when you're a college student

beer is optional go water for 2 weeks

Hachira1 votes

it's not optional when you live in germany lol it's as sacred as water in a desert

LordGeovanni1 votes

I actually feel that i went to Europe when i was young When we were in Germany i Couldnt get water or anything else to drink there was beer and Coke Cola everywhere. No Nearly no water that week only from the tap.

Hachira1 votes

pretty much it. an actual bottle of water costs around 1.50€ and some might even cost up to 3€ while beer is 40cents and they usually sell it in packs of 6 so you get it fer 2.20€ lol It's no joke when someone mentions beer everyone thinks of germany

The only reason why Kha'zix doesn't have a transformation is that the skin is so old.

Hachira2 votes

yeah the skin really needs some love, at least an improved recall. Khazix is rengar's nemesis after all

I like this idea! If they were not to do this, i think they could make it so when he ultra, he transforms into the car, fitting it with the recall. Right now the recall just makes him a water proof catmobile..

yes because mecha kha'zix transforms

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

He does. Does everyone forget that Kha'Zix is evolving every time when he is leveling his ultimate?

He doesn't transform into a vehicle, but he is still transforming over time.

LordGeovanni2 votes

Thats not the skin thats Kha' Zix's character

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

shrug Who says that the transformation has to be an added feature of the skin itself? He transforms by default, no need to slap another transformation on him if there is no need to.

LordGeovanni1 votes

Thats like saying Sion transforms from a warrior to a berserker zombie. If you want to use correct terms KhaZix evolves.

JaxMoonStealer1 votes

That's because it's the oldest skin from the skin line. Every other skin from it transforms.

Mcemc3 votes

Kha zix skin proves that tranformation was not one of the main points of the skin line. The main idea of this skin line is that champions are robots, and not all robots are transformers.

Bruh i like your recall proposition ! And it's true that when i was playing on the PBE, i ignored my recall as much as i could, it just makes me sick, it's disgusting. Same for the prurple chroma, purple and green tohether is disgusting, and for the black chroma, they dont have to feel obligated to add some yellow to it. And for some reason, they seem to refuse to change the blade color.

The purple and green one is a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Most mech based things in games like this (HotS etc) end up with a purple and green version simply for this reference. Kha'zix also has a purple and green chroma coming out that references this as well.

This.

This will be the difference between me buying that skin or not. The catmobile is a bad meme and has to die.

You should make this post in the feedback thread about Mecha Rengar where rioters that made that skins are watching it and improving on it instead of posting here, I really like this idea, but I hardly believe anyone from Riot will notice this post, just go here and post it. Amazing idea, I also hate that car transform recall.

Mcemc1 votes

Unfortunately i can't, because don't have a pbe account.

Fairyfleur1 votes

You can make one for free if you have honor 3.

The car transformation is cool. I propose people start letting things be instead of telling riot they need to redo every damn thing just because "but I don't like it!"

Wanna talk about childish....

Knalxz5 votes

I think he gets the car transformation for 2 reasons.

  1. The Obvious
  2. because everyone loved Malphite's robot digger thing so much they probably tried to go for something like that.
seedi5 votes

The reason Rengar turns into a car is because its referencing Thundercats

They've already said that's out of their range of what they can do atm. It's not getting changed.

No I like the recall

Barcid2 votes

What are you talking about? Mecha Kha'zix does transform.

He transforms into a killing machine perfectly designed to blow up ADC's when the support isn't there to baby them.

If someone from riot reads this, this change would make alot of Rengar enthusiasts happy!

TheHobbits2 votes

First: Mecha Khazix was the first skin in the line and does not share recall animations.

Battlecast Xerath was the first of its line and does not share recall animations.

Second: Rengar transforming into that particular shape of vehicle is, i believe, a reference to the vehicle in the show Thundercats.

There's really no need to make some childish or cringy car transformation just because it's a mecha skin.

But I like, Optimus Prime maximize or Megatron Terrorize*[sg-soraka]* Also why Sion is left out of all this good shiiieeet?

Kurjao2 votes

I can see mechaKhazix turning into a motorcycle if he ever gets a recall animation

Andrionar2 votes

I actualy like his transformation to car. Looks funny to me.

Frankly I'd just like a line where he goes "A true hunter....Is a robot...Beep Boop"
