Special Forces Gankplank Recall Animation

So I've gotten myself the Special Forces Gankplank skin and ever since then, I just couldn't stop playing as him. The fact that you carry a modern weapon into the fields of justice and dominate the competition with it, along with that cool pistol noise and the way he aims it. It's also cool that his ultimate calls in an airstrike.

Though there is a little nit pick I have for this skin and it's about his recall animation. Now that they are making recall animations, I wanted Gankplank to get a much better recall animation for this skin than the one he has now. All I see is Gankplank putting his hands behind his back waiting patiently to return back to base.

In the portrait of this skin, you see Gankplank going down the ropes of a helicopter while pointing his pistol at the screen like a badass. Why wasn't that part of the recall animation? I wanted to see Gankplank grab the ropes from a helicopter and get lifted up and flown back to base. If it's possible, maybe let it be the respawn animation after the timer for being dead runs out. Or maybe make it the animation for when you start the match.

What do you guys think?

That would be freakin' amazing, if I can say. His present recall animation is extremely cool too, in my opinion, since it reminds me of certain scenes in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. I guess we might get some slight changes to him when (and the problem is: when? T_T) he gets reworked, but probably not something as big as you suggest.
