Let me just say, I love Karma's new running animation via speed boost and boots 2 but after playing both Sakura and Traditional skins, the animation on her dress looks very out of place, unnaturally stretched when walking, and floating for no reason when idle. Any chance someone can polish them?
I can't stand the new animation.
It looks like it belongs on a beast or a marathon runner. It'd be a far better fit for Udyr, Illaoi, or Alistar.. maybe even Shyvana, Ezreal, or Lucian? Heck, I could even see it working on Fiddlesticks, especially after he triggers his passive's movement speed boost (imagine going from an unmoving scarecrow into a flailing monster charging at you, hellbent on eating your soul).
The transition between her animations is non-existent. It goes from "out-of-breath old lady who's so constipated, she can't straighten her legs" into "suddenly a marathon runner swimming/clawing/flailing her way across the world".
That's not even talking about how her Mantle of Decorum. One moment, it's gracefully floating/gliding behind her. The next, it's strapped to her shoulders and flails from side to side with every single step she takes.
It's even worse with her Traditional and Sakura skins, though. I could live with some stretching, but this is ridiculous. Romanation even stated he'd look into it and adjust things for these skins on his Twitter post, but it would appear that nothing was changed.
Still, Riot decided to ship it as-is because 80% of the people said it looked better than what she already had (and what she already had was already half-assed, so it's not like the bar was set very high..). The remaining 20% gave actual criticisms about what was good, bad, and completely wrong about the running animation, but like every Karma change, the minority is always ignored...
Ping Rornation on Twitter. He or someone else can fix it.
The new running animation is HIDEOUS...
Well, it took them like 3 years after her VGU to fix the stretching textures on her Traditional skin's dress during her normal walk cycle (and it still doesn't look that good)... so I wouldn't hold my breath.
She should be one of the floaters tbh, Enlightened One and all.
