Should Morgana keep her dance animation post-rework?

I've heard before that Kayle and Morgana will be getting a dual-VGU as they're quite aged compared to a lot of the roster. I understand a lot of these things change when champs are updated, but I'd like to make a plea for Morgana's dance animation.

It is really bad, yes, but it's so bad that it's good. There's something great in her just spinning around, waving her arms around like a sprinkler all with the same mute expression that make it hilarious, and I fear that Morgana will lose it when she gets updated. If her character stays somewhat the same when her story gets updated, it'd just make sense to keep it as it meshes so well with her demeanor. As someone who's felt the loss of having the second worst dance (old Taric) removed, I'd hate to see it happen again. Rito pls.

Hmm, maybe keep it but updating it at the same time? Like keep the twirling but with a better animation?

It should remain as a spin. If spammed, she should spin faster.

Nah, based on movement speed. Rammus OK? OK!

The thing is that Morgana's gameplay doesn't really benefit from high movement speed in similar ways than Master Yi's for example. Making an animation interact with movement speed on a champion that wants to build something else could encourage people to build the character in a way that's not intended.

Emote spam requires no stat building and works just as fine.

Wouldn't be the first time they introduce something like that as an easteregg, though. For example: The size of the wrenches Heimerdinger is throwing with his AA scales with his AD stat.

And yet you wouldn't say that building AD is optimal for Heimerdinger, nor does this interaction encourage players to do so, would you? Besides: Especially with the new rune system, there are ways for Morgana to get bonus MS while using not a contrary build for her playstyle. Examples like Waterwalking and Celerity come to mind.
