Why do both Lancers walk like they still have legs

Hopefully they change it, I was hyped for these skins and still are but that walking animation kills all the other abilities

Luckily W changes it to a more fitting animation

God, I hope they change it. It looks really awkward the way it is right now.

I was thinking about getting the bundle, but if they keep these walking animations, it would be a serious reason to rethink that and don't get them...

I severely hope they go back on that decision, as un-blitzlike as a new walking animation would look, the standard one is just too god damned goofy for these skins, it just looks BAD, there's no other way to put it.

But why can't they do the same thing they did with Battle Boss Blitzcrank and give him a "hovering" style animation...? C'mon Riot... Stop being lazy

Are the playtesters...like... how can I put this in a way that's not insulting? Stupid?

Riot: "We're not gonna put any effort into making this skin satisfying and it's gonna cost 1350 RP, fuck you"

"Actually, we change our mind, its worth 1820 for both, suck it losers."

I'm confused, doesn't battle boss blitzcrank have a different walking animation? How could they possibly justify that walking animation because people couldn't recognize blitz o.o

Well, just by looking at a silhouette of battle boss blitz, you can tell its blitz, the claw, the two arms out, the head, so changing his walking animation to a side to side rather then his base isn't too much of an ask. What riot said is that since lancer is such an overhall of blitz's base looks, they keep the animation, but, it still looks like blitz, arms out, one hand is a hand the other not, the glowing torso, you can tell its blitz by the skins looks, but since a couple of the testers said "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE BLITZ, KEEP HIS WALKING ANIMATION FROM BASE, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" we now get the goofing walking on two feet animation base blitz have, the thing is, piltover customs blitz's walking animation would perfectly fucking fit on lancer, but riot just gonna say, nope, and make this skin mega trash.

said the same thing. BBB already has this in his skin so I see no reason why Lancer Blitz can't.

The excuse to why the walking animation stayed is dumb and ultimately looks like they were too lazy to update new animation. How hard would it just be to add the walking animation from Battle Boss Blitz...

Or piltover customs for that matter, just port it over from piltover customs and boom, done, no one is complaining.
