Why Doesn't Pool Party Ziggs Have A Custom Recall?

Tekkerz·Apr 8, 2015·7 votes·5,145 views

Im in a pool party team, and i am our ziggs and when we all showed off our recalls (kuz they are awesome), i noticed mine was just the same as classic ziggs, why, if all the other pool parties get a custom recall, ziggs should too. Also Pool Party Ziggs is $10 of RP! Less then some other pool parties like lee sin, but lee still gets a badass recall, so why cant ziggs too. Overall i am very disappointed with this skin and adding a custom backing whould make it a lot better!

Okay, I am gonna explain this.

Pool Party Ziggs was created over a year before the other Pool Party skins, and at this time, Champions and skins didn't recieve recall animations.

Exactly this.

Pool Party Ziggs came out before recall animations were even a thing. There's a reason a lot of champions don't have recall animations: there was a time before they were standard.

Yup! This is the reason why!

On a global note (just curious here^^), if in the future your team wanted to add some recall animation for older stuff, like this ziggs skin or gentleman cho'gath for exemple, is it something easy to add to the current skin files or did you have to start a brand new skin "folder" to work on that?

Riot has said that nothing is yet planned but everything is a possibility, my guess is when there is no longer texture updates for season 5 its possible that the team working on them might consider messing with upgrading the old skins to current standards.

my question was not that :p

it was more about the difficulty of the task (in short, if they want to add new recall animation for an already existing skin, can they just change the old skin recall files or must they do a brand new skin developpement process for that)

probably it is relatively difficult because there is a lot of spaghetti code in this game so the game could crash if not everything is checked out.

wtf IS this? Ziggs doesn't recall, he just wrecks mid and laughs. Why do you think he threw a pool party in the first place?

Your poll question is too confusing, it's got like worth its and withouts. I can't wrap my head around it, so I'm going to withhold my vote in the likely scenario and I get it wrong. Sorry bro item 3460

Now if the question had been, "Should Ziggs have recall animation?" Then yes.

This been asked before.

Pool Party Zigg came out before they made that list of what 975 and 1350 skins are supposed to have.

It just like how Officer Caitlyn is 975 and Firefighter Tristana is 1820 but don't fit.

Say that for all the neglected 1820 skins that have come out before special recalls

If Good Guy Rito wanted to add a recall animation and then raise the price a tad, that'd be OK in my book.

Why cant older champions or those that got Model Updates get recall animations ?

Because they most of the time don't change the riggs and animations of the character unless they need to.
