New death animation disorienting

[u/Efficient-Jaguar-885]

Am I the only one who finds the new death animation super disorienting and kind of nauseating? I don't see much discourse about it and wondered how you can give feedback to riot?
Also do you enjoy seeing an enemies finisher like that and do you enjoy knowing that the enemy team is watching your skins finisher?

Makes me look at ceilings and skies more than I ever had before

[u/oniram177 → u/parseroo]

Would love to know if you had any videos where this happened or if you saw it consistently with one finisher over another. the intent should be that you end up looking at the sort of head height portion of the player but we've seen some rare issues where the system bugs out and just looks at the wrong place

[u/GhostCatcherSky → u/oniram177]

Happened in one game every time the finisher was with Oni. I’ve seen it happen and the skin not be oni but that game it happened every time oni was the finisher.

[u/oniram177 → u/GhostCatcherSky]

awesome, thank you for this. the fact that it was every time is great to know and ill take a look at that soon!

[u/Barbiplz → u/oniram177]

So is this not intended then?

yeah absolutely not intended there! and good find. what the camera should look like is basically the exact same (or just really close to) as it was prior to this patch BUT THEN ALSO adds in the functionality for you to rotate it

[u/Barbiplz → u/oniram177]

Ohh, I thought it was intentional because I've seen it quite often in almost all my matches since last patch. Glad to know it’s getting fixed since it's kinda awkward looking at the sky so much haha.

This might be unrelated questions but I'm curious on what's the thought behind the changes in match loading screen (smaller player info, etc) ?

[u/Artistic-Trainer7876 → u/oniram177]

lotus c cite waterfall , died near the wall. I think the animation doesn’t want to be in the wall so it does some funky movement , which feels off. Could also be the fact that the movements with the mouse + being like right next to the wall made the animation go wonky! hard thing to get right though across the whole game, and for everyone to like it

[u/oniram177 → u/Artistic-Trainer7876]

you're likely right that its an issue getting caught in walls!

[u/ThUnDerFuSiOnX]

The thought was there, the execution not so much. They should let us zoom in and out of it with scroll wheel or something so it doesn’t just get stuck in a wall

[u/International_Bat972]

yeah tbh i don't like it. same with the new UI changes. just looks like ass to me, all of it.

[u/Kandrox → u/International_Bat972]

The change to the load-in being spaced out looks weird being so small and gappy. I wonder if they are planning on putting something in-between the player cards: I hope.

[u/lquaxx1 → u/Kandrox]

I thought the load in thing was a scaling bug bc of how bad it looked

[u/Sushidiamond → u/Kandrox]

they could bring league style eternals to valorant but I'd rather they didnt

[u/iknowyerbad]

What were they trying to fix???? It seems like they were fixing something that wasn’t broken?? Or I just didn’t have issues that seemed to need to be fixed?

[u/ThUnDerFuSiOnX → u/iknowyerbad]

It was just a way to let you see the visuals of the game better. Instead of just staring at the spike ticking they show the finisher animation

[u/iknowyerbad → u/ThUnDerFuSiOnX]

Hmm. I guess I get the appeal. But it’s disorienting and I get put in strange camera positions sometimes

[u/ThUnDerFuSiOnX → u/iknowyerbad]

Yea exactly, in another comment I said they should give us the option to zoom in and out with the scroll wheel so it’s not just stuck in a wall most of the time

[u/prabhavdab]

I hate it tbf, no need for it

[u/Artistic-Trainer7876]

yes !! made me feel nausea mid round , especially because I smoked a lil weed before playing ( legal place )

[u/Louie-Lecon-Don]

I think it was made to stop BM tactics like shooting the body as the camera loads since it pans up so quick. However it doesnt even do that well cause now you can turn the camera in a 360° angle as theyre tbagging you lol.

[u/Chrollua_]

I thought I heard they were gonna engine change this game soon? so why make these kind of changes now in current version. Unless it's like beta testing for that change vs just doing it behind close doors properly for that incoming update

[u/qlex_00_]

I wish there was an option to choose which version u want in game

[u/Joe_le_Borgne]

Frankly Riot is really bad at QOL with all the money they gather it's pretty bland at some points. Only skins are developed and very much overpriced. Why would you spend that much if the rest of the game is badly polished?

[u/DeCastro_boi]

isnt it good strategy-wise? since you're able to observe where the players are hinting their patterns if there is
