The Lancer Blitzcrank skins are out

Modl Ryden l·Dec 6, 2017·1 votes·954 views

I deleted the previous thread in Concept and Creations because they didn't fit there.

I see them available for purchase on the homepage.

But does anyone know if the walking animation was changed? Does it still look like the old penguin Blitzcrank walk animation? I want to gift it for a friend either one or both of them but not if all the elegance and grace the skins provide are going to be trampled by his stock walking animation.

Heck, the other 1350 skins have a different default walk animation which alone makes them look more pleasant to use than the newest ones.

Riot said they were not going to change those walking animations. Since there isn't a huge, several hundred upvote thread about that happening right now, I'm going to assume that they did not. They'll have the classic Blitz waddle.

and it is unacceptable because the skin Pilltover have the right movement that simply could be put on this one!

No. They are still the same, it was not changed in the downtime and wasn't a reason for their removal.

Side note: Does anyone know if I buy one of the skins now and one in the future do I need to pay the full price for both? Or will I only need to pay 1350 on the first and 470 on the second?

Nope. I think you have to buy the bundle to get the discount.

Dang, is the bundle a limited time offer?

Also yes. It's common for skins to have release bundles, but those will go away after this patch. This one might stay live over Xmas, but I'm not sure how long. I looked up the release announcement and it didn't specify timeline.
