About Winter Wonder Karma's recall animation...

Can you please add it to her base skin? The exact same animation with the appropriate green particles would be absolutely perfect for her.

no, they won't. Karma already has a recall animation and if tyrant swain and captain miss fortune have taught you anything it's that riot values money over consistency.

Not every skin must have the same type of features (or even the same amount).

Captain Miss Fortune was priced at 975 RP because it was more than just a new model and texture (which, when bundled together, are usually priced at 750)- They gave her a new Recall animation and new VFX specifically done for her unique Recall (the exploding orange).

Sure, that's not as much as a-whole-lot-of-new-particle-effects-975, but it's still that extra effort done for the Recall animation & VFX, that makes it at least one price tier above 750.

Think about it- At least two extra artists (one for animation, the other for VFX) and an engineer sat down and worked on this Recall animation, which the rest of the team had to give feedback and possibly iterate on for at least a few more days.

-_-

Now, a better point for discussion would be, maybe Riot needs to make new Price tiers, for cases like Captain Fortune?

-_-

Also, come on, Tyrant Swain was made in 2012. The modern standard that is usually used for each skin type has really changed since. If I'm not wrong, they only started experimenting with the idea of Recall animations (which was then done inconsistently) with Zyra (who, I think, came out in June 2012), if I'm not wrong. So Tyrant Swain is not a very relevant example.

I am talking about how those skins are how the characters are supposed to look in current lore

Swain and Miss Fortune didn't get full scale VGUs that include recall animations in the line of Gangplank, Ryze, or Taric. Miss Fortune only got pretty skins on her old model.
