Favorite/least favorite Running animation in League
Hey all,
I'm conducting some research and would like to know what is everyone's favorite and least favorite champions running/walking animations are in League. Also how would people feel if we try spice up some of the worst? By spice up I mean, polish, add some improved animation tweaks. Whilst maintaining the essence of what is there already and how we identify with it and the champ. Ill go first:
Favorite - Kindred 
, I like the energy/hoppy-ness.
Least Favorite - Quinn 
, Lack of motion/feels very rigid.
We recently did a very subtle polish on Jarvan cause his run was REALLY wobbly/janky.
Cheers and let me know your thoughts!
- Still doesn't have a running or shield casting animation for 5 years now. Maybe you should finally give her one?
- I like her's because she rides on her blades.
Fluid, carries an air of importance
Least Favorite: 
Clunky, looks like his pants are constantly falling down
- definitely not the worst offender but her running animation could be improved to make it look more natural. Right now she looks kinda like she was just walking extremaly fast not fully running. Her animations are stiff. Her legs and hands look like pretty weird and like they were broken or something. It's especially noticable on Mistletoe LB skin. Her cape could be updated to float behind her more fluid aswell.
- bring back her old pre-rework running animation PLEASE. I just hate how she's hopping around with her knees high up to the sky. Her old running animation looked so much better and more badass. Now she looks goofy and out of place just like she was some kind of clown...The update also ruined her Headmistress skin. Before rework it used to have animated skirt which slightly floated back and forth when Fiora moved. Her new model and running animation removed that feature from the skin.
specifically the second walk animation where he swaggers like his old model did.
: His overall animation needs work, or better yet just give him a Full Relaunch.
, it's somehow smooth
The least favorite - 
The flapping is just... odd looking, doesn’t flow well.
... She’s just so ugly when running AND walking...
Not a fan of her running cause it’s very dull.
: IM COMING TO SAVE YOU!
- favorite. by far.
- least favorite.
is pretty bad
is pretty good
"VGUs" you didn't do anything to their animations, except maybe add a stray one here and there. For supposedly being updated champions, neither Fiora NOR Shen have modern animations like recalls or homeguard runs, perfectly looping dances, and their VOs are still the ones they launched with. I find this completely unacceptable for champions you've supposed invested time in to "VGU." I would propose going back to Shen and Fiora and giving them the animations they need to be complete.
, 
, and 
's running animations. TF's and LB's are just stiff and stale, and they're not particularly interesting, and Shyvana just lurches around, similar to Vayne. Both of these ladies could also use some physics work on their ponytails to move a little more freely, like Lissandra's hair.
and 
. In the same boat, but with a VO is 
. In a vaguely similar boat, but needs more extensive work because they still look ancient and terrible are 
and 
.
I kinda wished you'd have her ride her seat from her splash art on a chariot carried by spiders, similar to santa braum? This would emphasize on her spider queen thematic, and I think it would fit her personality. She doesnt have a homeguard atm.
Least favorite 
He jus' doesn't give a fuck about anything. My favorite.
He walks really lightly, like a brisk jog. I love how he looks when he's charging the bow, but the normal walking is kinda enh.
Rigid, lacks motion, and sometimes seems wonky when moving at very high speeds.
, good progression in different animations, moves characteristically of an agile gunman.
Least Favorite - Karma
I love the rogue-y feel to his run cycle and the transition into Ghostwater Dive is amazing.
I mainly dislike how floaty he looks in his normal running animation and how his right arm is always sticking out. Looks really uncomfortable.
so I guess I'll throw that out there.
. I'm sure he'll get a VGU at some point, but his base model running is just so horrid to me. I know he's a clunky steam golem, and its probably hard to depict something that heavy and awkward moving quickly, but his sprint is just so awkward and overly clunky, almost to the point of being violent to look at.
D I V A !
It's so fluid and nice feeling. The transistion between being on her passive and then back to walking needs work though. Tends to have a second of jarr betweem.
is my least favorite because he has so much potential. Imagine if he had a menacing killer run where he's poised for action, his run smoothly transitioning into his parkour moves. Talon could use a real animation overhaul to make his parkour a lot more elaborately coded for more tricks, less weirdness, and a smoother inclusion of it in his kit. But the run is what needs fixing first.
This is mainly cause I feel Cait needs a visual update and Udyr needs a full VGU, but because of that their walks look really janky and even more so when they get sped up.
seems outdated all over the place
I dont like how his arms just kind of flay to his side
, in that sense she is the opposite ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), she is so rigid, she doesn't feel gracious at all like 
- I remember using him in an One for All game and his Running animation was awfull... basically because those short legs, I guess that Ammumu, Veigar, Rammus and Teemo may have the same problem.
