Riot removed garens punch animation on his VU because the animator thought it would be unrealistic
if i recall correctly, this was the official statement. he didnt think it would be realistic to hit your opponent with a gauntlet, when you have a gigantic sword in your hand.
ill just leave this here

please tone it down a little on the shoulders. not just the splash art, but those monsters on his model aswell. (im talking about both, for all skins).
and maybe readd the punch animation. you said youd give fiora another look because her mains werent statisfied with the VU.
well, im not asking for another whole VU on garen, but some touch ups would be really nice and appreciated.
i already posted this a long time ago, but if realism is your concern, you could make the punch animation proximity based. its pretty realistic to hit your target with a quick jab in short range, rather than swinging a giant two handed longsword.
pretty please?
