Would it be possible someday to remove the little teddy bear Annie holds when she summons Tibbers?

It's a minor detail, but considering how Tibbers is always depicted in cinematics as being the enchanted form of her teddy bear, I thought it'd be cool if it were that way in-game.

I always wanted that detail to happen, but there might be some gameplay implications to that, and would require some coding too!

Hello Sirhaian, Great Job on the Annie's VFX definetly will start playing with Wonderland Annie more often now! Do you think of updating Hecarim's VFX he is one of my favorite champions

Thank you! :D

And yes, he's among a lot of other champions I'd like to update at some point!

Im assuming you tried having it just be horizontal? If I had to guess the actual skillshot would look better but the animation would be goofy as hell because he tosses it out vertically

Yup, I did try that. And you're right! Another issue was that the anchor is so wide I had to scale it down so much to match the hitbox it looked a bit ridiculous. :x

Could've gone the Chemtech route, and added runes and glows and such on his body, but that probably calls for a remodel to prepare these zones first.

Yup, exactly. :/

His model is really old and difficult to work with.

Hi Sirhaian, love your work ! I don’t play Orianna but I dislike playing against her because it feels like her orb just zips around with no effect. Could you consider adding some VFX to make it a bit more visual ?

Thanks !!

Yup, she's definitely on my long list of champs I'd like to update.

(I definitely use definitely way too often)

I don't know about Naut's Q. Its a bit too "stale". It's a bit too much like this gif. A slight tilt would look alot better instead of SUPREME STRAIGHT RIGGID GRAVITY DEFYING ANCHOR TOSS.

Sadly, due to our camera, tilted objects can appear to have a very different hitbox depending on the angle they're fired at... So we try to avoid doing so. :c

I wish they kept the ice particles for Frostfire instead of just making it blue fire, but overall the updates are nice.

I'll be adding some more snowflakes in her kit!

It IS a 975 skin so it's probably acceptable for it to have VFX changes

Yup, that's planned!

This is great and all but where are the snowflake particles from the Frostfire skin?

There are some in there, but not visible enough. I'll add more in her kit!

Trynda has the problem of not having any particles, and his autoattacks are so bland

He needs a full visual update imo

Basically that ^

Want to add. The direction of the annie in wonderland VFX are so solid that I actually hope you go back to update all "card" skins to it. Start of a wonderland theme. Release a new skin with updates to old ones at same time for hype.

That's definitely something I'd like to see!

Only VFX, sorry!

Now if you guys could revert/fix Goth Annie's splash I'd greatly appreciate it, also nice work because the vfx looks really good

As an Annie main, I'd personally love that, but I only do VFXs, sorry. :c

Glad you like them!

Could you, in the future, be doing this to more recently updated champs that didn't get recolors on their previous updates? For example, Frosted Ez with his base gold particles is really sad... Noxus Poppy too.

As much as I'd love to, sadly those skins are 520, and they do not get new particles, sorry. :c

Sadly there's only so much VFX that can be added on Tryndamere. He barely has anything in his kit that uses VFXs... :C

Is it possible to give Frankentibbers Annie green fire like Zombie Brand’s? :xxx

Yup, I'll be giving her a recolor!

Overall good changes, but I don't really see the point of adding trails to Nautilus' autos when his shield isn't active. Just sort of feels like unnecessary vfx.

Sadly it's either trails or no trails, Nautilus is very old and I don't really have a way to add trails only when his shield is up, at least not without refactoring a bunch of his old stuff, which would be outside of the scope of this update. :c
