Proposal to remake Mecha Rengar recall

Mcemc·10/27/2017, 11:54:43 AM·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.

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

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..

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.

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.

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....

This.

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

The car is awesome. You just can't appreciate

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.

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

Don't take my Rencar away.

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!

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.

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

Kurjao10/28/2017, 2:32:39 AM2 votes

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

Andrionar10/28/2017, 8:03:32 AM2 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"
