Blood Moon Jhin Updated Recall Animation?

So I noticed in the new, updated skin spotlight for Blood Moon Jhin, his recall no longer gives him that dark red-model-appearance-thingy at the end. PBE version: https://youtu.be/RK1us57TL7Q?t=18 Updated version: https://youtu.be/jcS4wh1v_8o?t=69 If you compare the two, specifically at the end, the updated Jhin no longer has the dark red, painted model at the end, while the old version did. Is there any reason for this and will it be added back? I would just like to know, since I feel as if this recall really makes the skin.

Hey! While I didn't have a hand in this particular skin, so I don't have too much context, but it was removed intentionally, and the team felt it wasn't a necessary component for the recall. Please keep in mind that PBE is a beta realm, and changes are made throughout the patch, which means that what you see day one may not be what the final skin has.

I hope that this gets added back in, along with the ink footprints when he gets tier 2 boots. Little touches like that really brought the skin's painter theme together; without them it's only really supported by his respawn animation.

Probably a bug or Riot really lost it this time.

I beg you for this and others probably too, that you add this back in! Im on my knees here, it made the recall so perfect! But now with this removed its just dull and you know something is missing. (The Recall is still fantastic ofcourse.) Im still so pondered about this, I mean why would you remove it? item 3070
