[Opinion] Current animation speed feels too fast and somewhat inconsistent

I played a little bit after the patch and to me the new animation speed feels too fast - personally I'd prefer a middle ground between the current speed and the previous one

Also, I'm pretty sure not all animations were sped up (e.g. Mystic Shot) - this makes the game's speed feel inconsistent

If a Rioter sees this, I'd like to make the following suggestions: - slightly decrease the speed of animations that were sped up - slightly increase the speed of animations that were not adjusted before - pause the timer during animations (maybe to a certain point to prevent infinite combo decks and such from abusing this) - possibly only when opponent's animation is played during player's turn and during champion level ups?

    I hope speeding up animations doesn't come at a cost of bit hearing the voice lines

    Nope! We definitely don’t want to hurt anything like our VO, champ moments, etc, etc...

    Thanks for the feedback! Getting the pacing of the game feeling good is definitely a work in progress so your opinion helps let's us know if we're on the right track. You're absolutely correct we didn't adjust everything. We thought a bit about holding back any of the improvements until we were totally done, but figured it'd be better to relieve some player pain sooner rather than later.

    In terms of the timers and animations we have some improvements that'll be hitting upcoming patches soon. I think they'll be a lot better for everyone and I'm sure you all will tell me if they aren't :) Thanks again!
