Can we make all champion portraits animated like the dead eye teasers?

in the animated gif style. it might look too cluttered for the champion tab in client that shows the overview of every champion, or here on the homepage like with sonas portrait at the moment.

but i mean your own champion portrait, and when you click on your teammates or opponents in game. aswell as on the personal champion pages. with the waving hair and changing facial expressions. it would just feel like they come to life a bit more.

maybe this could also be done for other units like minions, and jungle monsters.

for people who wouldnt want this in game, the animations could be deactivated together with the other interface animations (health bar etc). in that case it would just show a static portrait like now.

i understand this would be a project that would take some time. but it would also not be too crazy to do, and add a lot of flavour to the game.

I got a better idea.Give us animated portraits for champs we have the highest mastery on.

They havent even update each champion, their splash art, and voice overs, and you want the animated icons right now...

Honestly, I would love it, but I don't want them to spend the resources on it.

As far as the art team goes, there are things that I want so much more.

I'm not sure this would be a good idea? Wouldn't it just add more lag?

I would like it better if they updated the backgrounds of everyones profiles first so we don't have weird inconsistencies like on the Tristana page (http://gameinfo.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/game-info/champions/tristana/ )

Brofreco had a great idea that this could happen once you have a high enough mastery on the champion... Say like level 10 you get the animated loading screen and icon but in game only you could see your animation

Sona's art is cool.

Maybe, but that would take about as much work as a Sion level champion rework, plus, champion select would look completely overwhelming with 78 tiny gifs everywhere

having all the champion icon animated is gonna make ur champ select messy as hell.
