Sion Q&A on September 30th
"The Champion Update team’s taking a break from prepping Sion for war so they can host an upcoming Sion Q&A session on 9/30! If you have questions about how we turned the big green Arnie impersonator into a hulking Noxian colossus, come along and ask away!

[Continued] Dev Blog: Champion Animation
Following last week's developer blog on Champion Animation, Nickstravaganza stuck around the forums to answer a few animation related questions.When asked about Zac's animations and what makes him so complicated, Nickstravaganza replied:
"Zac's complicated because of how his rig's set up. The joint hierarchy is very different to allow some of the blobby motion we added. There was also a lot of model swapping for his different moves as well as some of our earliest parametric anims. Vlad and Nami's effects are actually created by the VFX artists, whereas Zac was a mix of effects and animation.
For the second question, every champ is different with custom... well everything. But we learned a lot from Zac though that we still use today.
His complexity was probably part of his skin choice, but I'm not the best guy to ask"As for the unique knockup animations on newer champions like Azir and Gnar and why they aren't enabled just yet, he noted:
"It's mainly the sheer number of new assets. We're making progress towards it and adding them to new characters like Gnar, but filling out the backlog, getting the design-side hookups and QA all take time. We'll get there though!"
Summoner Icon Descriptions in the works
In a reddit thread requesting descriptions on how or when Summoner icons were obtained be added to the client, RiotBrokenSword popped in to confirm they are being worked on!"Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. My team is working on this right now. No ETA, but this is in development."
When asked about his team, BrokenSword continued:
"It is very accurately called the "Summoner Icons Team" though. We've only had a dedicated team to it for the last 3 months. I hope you guys have noticed some improvement.
I'm just a Product Manager now."In response to someone questioning why there needs to be a team for something like this, he noted:
"Nah, it's only about ownership. There was no team owning the whole product of Summoner Icons before. Now there is, so changes are happening."
Summoner's Rift Detailed Art Feedback

If you have a critique and you want to guarantee that it is going to be heard, this is the place to put it.
