Can we get some better game physics on Jannas model?

Her hair doesn't make any sense what-so-ever. Not in her splashes, or even in the in game model.

The model hair is based that there is a strong wind coming from underneath her, in order for her hair to blow straight up like it does. But her clothing pieces suggest that there is just a mild breeze coming from the front of her.

The only model where the physics seem correct is her Forcast Janna skin, because she has no hair to flutter about.

That being said, would it be possible to implement the same game physics as Taric in terms of her hair?

I think it would make a lot more sense and be more visually appealing as well.

Don't forget when she dances her staff vibrates like an alarm clock.

She's wearing heavy weight armor to train her body. Those strings actually have an enormous mass. That's why she can afford to wear so little of it.

I always assumed it was levitating with the rest of her while her clothing was affected by the wind

While I agree that Janna definitely needs some help in the hair department, if I understand you correctly, I don't really feel that I want her hair worn more down like Taric's. At this point her crazy strait up hair, has become very iconic to me and it wouldn't feel like Janna if she didn't have it, also from a gameplay standpoint it could change how she is read in game, for better or for worse. In my mind Star Guardian Janna is the ideal, her hair isn't a globular mess, and while it still keeps the iconic Janna hair it is a ton nicer to look at, if we could bring all her skins to that level, I would be most happy. :3

I wanted Janna to get a full VU because she's looking very rough. I think her sashes could do with the Aurelion Sol/Ahri tail treatment and be free floating, and that would at least be a minor band-aid until further work can be done. Her animations are clunky and she could do with an audio overhaul too.

I don't think Riot has the time to do a VU on her at the moment. Her model is quite old and she deserves one but VUs aren't on Riot's top priority list at the moment. Full VGUs are and once they're done with them, then they move on to less intensive projects.

She will probably get a VU in about a year at least.

Her hair looks like fucking sea foam.

Honestly the tech on Taric's hair should be applied to a bunch of champions with wierd hair modeling

In reality all it means is that her hair is less dense than the air, while her clothes are... well, regular clothing.

Considering she floats I'd say her whole body is less dense than that of a human being and in our bodies the less dense part is our hair, so it kinda makes sense.

Boob physics please.

I really just don't think it would be a lot of work to code tarics hair movement overtop of jannas model.

But I don't really know anything about coding or the likes.
