Gatekeeper Galio Recall

Akindled Soul·Mar 30, 2015·4 votes·1,429 views

As you all know Galio has a Legendary Skin called "Gatekeeper Galio", however, the only problem I really have with it is the Recall. It doesn't seem to fit him as it's just him with a different skin, flying in mid-air, idling in one spot, and just Recalling which is the same animation used for all the current Galio skins including this one. When he is suppose to be the "Gatekeeper of the Underworld. What I'm suggesting is a new Recall animation.

-Concept- Galio raises a gate to the Underworld and perches on top of it then soon enters the gate. This is to show his Gargoyle-esque theme as well as the Underworld theme. Lines he could use while Recalling: "It is time to return to whence I came from."; "The Underworld beckons for me."; "Awaiting beyond...is...a resting place/ossuary/sepulcher..."

I love Gargoyles, and is the only reason I bought that skin...

{quoted} It doesn't seem to fit him to just stand still while Recalling.

But he's a gargoyle.

It appears that you haven't seen this skin's Recall animation. (I didn't describe exactly how the Recall goes which is bad on my part.) It's just him with a different skin, flying in mid-air, idling in one spot, and just Recalling which is the same animation used for all the current Galio skins including this one. A gargoyle is usually depicted to stand "completely" still when in statue form. However this skin does not even let him raise a pillar of bones and skulls, perch on top of it, and stand "completely" still in statue form then bursts out when the Recalling is done.

All I'm asking in this thread is for a simple Recall that is rather cool to look at, I don't mind anything extravagant, but this does not seem to fit him as the "Gatekeeper of the Underworld".

so what you're saying is... we give Alien Invader Heim/Magnificent TF/Red Baron Corki/Demonblade Tryndamere/Wonderland Annie/Nunu Bot/Brolaf/Gentleman Cho Gath/Corporate Mundo/Blood Lord Vladimir recall animations?

You know this isn't the first thread like this to appear among the Boards. All I am saying is my opinion/suggestion in which it is most likely not going to happen. Most threads on the Boards is an "opinion" of a person. I am asking "Should they...", not saying "OMG this skin's Recall animation is so bad, they "need" to have a much cooler Recall than this or I'll refund this skin, (insert more rage without logic)" Not every skin like the latter and the one I am talking about needs a new Recall animation. But it's how it feels when you have a cool looking skin with almost everything different, but then when you decide to Recall, you feel rather unimpressed. This is not something that "needs to" or "will" happen. I honestly have no problem if they don't give a new Recall animation to the skin, it is all but a(n) opinion/suggestion.

This skin was created before recall animations were a thing. If I remember correctly, Darius was the first champion with a recall animation. Gatekeeper Galio was released a month or two before.

Riot generally doesn't go back to old skins and add stuff to them, unless its a champion rework.
