Riot, you can actually copy&paste exhisting RECALLS on the champions that lack them.

An example: the Blackfrost Anivia recall can be copied&pasted easily on all of her skins. It's not a skin-specific recall, it can work for all of the models.

The Ice Drake Shyvana recall can be copied&pasted easily on all of her skins. It's not a skin-specific recall, it can work for all of the models.

There are various cases when a skin has a simple recall animation which can be re-used for all the other skins that don't have one.

No, Riot, nobody is buying Blackfrost Anivia or Ice Drake Shyvana for those extremely simple and static recall animations. You can put them on all the other skins and the base model.

This one would actually be problematic, because classic Anivia and Blackfrost Anivia use different rigs (animation skeletons).

Anyways, doing this thing with skins like Ice Drake Shyvana would just feel bad for the players who own the skin, as the Recall animation is supposed to be unique to it.

Is anyone buying that skin just for that simple recall? Spending money for that alone? I doubt so. It's not even a legendary skin or anything.

Priced at 1820, Blackfrost Anivia is indeed a legendary skin.

And a one-frame static recall animation is certainly what you pay 1820 RP for.

The thing is that the legendary skins in general use different animations for almost everything and the "bones" are different from the original structure of Anivia, so, they cant use the same animations.

Look, I own Blackfrost Anivia, I saw her recall animation a thousand times, and I always thought it could be very easily applied to Anivia's base model as well.

Im not an expert in Autodesk Maya or programation, so, please tell me master: How do you pretend (in a "easy way" as you say) to import the animation of a model to a different model that uses a different bone system without turning it into a weird mess?

You don't. Because programming is a completely different beast than like Microsoft paint or photoshop. In those programs, you can clip portions of images out of one and stick it in another, easy peasy. In something like Maya, you build a skeleton, the rig. Then, to get that rig to move, you have to designate anchor points on that rig as well as "tag-along" points. Then you program in your animations, manipulating the anchors which pull the tag-alongs to create the movements. It's a very detailed web of connections, point control, and commands. There is no absolutely simple way to "copy-paste" an animation file from one rigging to another (even if it's the same rig for that matter) because you would have to re-bind and/or create the anchors and other points of movement, which is just as time consuming as starting from scratch.

Nobody (or at least I don't think anybody) buys them specifically for the recall, but it's part of the features that we pay for. If its given to all default champs, then they're just giving out paid content for free.

Exactly.

Not when Ice Drake costs just like the other skins.

Ice drake is a 975 which usually come with a new recall nowadays. So reusing the recall of the icedrake skin for the others would make it inferior to newer 975-skins.

LunSeiSleideeFeb 24, 20171 votes

Her other skins are 975 too.

GreenLoreFeb 24, 20171 votes

Her only other 975-skins are darkflame and championship

Championship has her own recalls and darkflame was released at a time where new recalls weren't the standard for 975-skins
