@Riot BattleCast Kog'Maws W animation

So BattleCast Kog'Maws basic attack animation is shooting a bullet out of the giant cannon that is his head. But whenever he uses his W, the ability that empowers his auto attacks, he uses his mini-arm cannon. I don't play Kog'Maw, nor do I own that skin. but it looks really derpy how he shoots his 5 attacks per second from his small arm weapon instead of the huge cannon that his body is. http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/KogMaw_8.jpg

IMO, his standard attack animation should be shooting a thingy from his little arm cannon, and when he activates his W he gets the red/orange particles and start burrying you with missiles from his ''mouth''

Just my honest opinion on it, it'd be cool if the animations were to get switched ^^

This is actually working as intended - we wanted him to utilize all of his weapons! We felt the ult was best suited for the head cannon 'cause it's the big finale in terms of his kit. I suppose in this meta, it's a bit different now. :P

Yes I know it's working as intended :P -- I remember being pretty interested in this skin when it came to pbe. I just feel like the animation he uses for his W is underwhelming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aLRAbEpPFQ It looks really derpy to see him shoot out all those 'fire bolts' from his arm with that animation. I feel like it would be a lot cooler if he used that arm cannon for his basic attack animation and his face for the W. Guess I wasn't really clear in what I was trying to say, My bad. -- I would have suggested that, if this were to go through, he'd nail himself to the ground with some kind of thirth leg comming out of his chest, but that would be really derpy when people orb walk with his W on, But I guess it's just me who imagines BC Kog'Maw like some kind of standing turret pumping out damage with his W http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/resistancefallofman/images/c/c3/Hellfire_Turret.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110301021808 summoner 31

the mouth cannon is the heavy cannon,and the arm cannon is the light cannon, why would he use his light cannon for the heavy attack and the heavy cannon for the light attack.

W is his stronger attack, which made me feel like he should use the ''Stronger looking'' animation :P I guess not everyone shares my opinion, which is fine ^^ summoner 31

Well but the individual shots of the W are weaker than the regular ones. It's just that he fires a lot more with his W.

And you should keep in mind that he fires small rockets from his mouth,which would also look a bit awkward if he shot 5 in 1 second...

The gun in his mouth is the regular auto attacks The small gun on his side is for the W The cylinder gun is his E The giant cannon on his back is where his ult is fired from With how fast he is shooting, the minigun for an arm makes sense.
