@Riot Why dont you give human characters facial animations

Like making even their brow and chins move subtly to give the appearance of expression, i think the closest to this is pykes laugh where he pulls down his mask and lets loose. But i was looking at god king Garen and his lack of movement in the face was really jarring for me. Very few characters have them outside of like poppy and base skin darius' laugh Why is that?

Edit: looking back darius has facial animations in his god-king skin, which makes it even weirder for garen in this case

Because for the angle the game's played at, for how zoomed out the characters are in game, and how small a human's head is relative to their body, it'd be a complete waste of resources to animate their faces. If the head takes up a lot of real estate, then yeah, it needs animating. Humans generally aren't like that.

This fails to address the point made about darius, in the same skin release as him....
