I for one think the new dance is great, feel free to downvote if you like. The old dance was indeed nice, but Riot did want the dance changed and there isn't much we can do about that but vote on what we wanted it to be. Apache seems like a great dance for her, because it's an awesome dance overall, and she can dance next to Singed for the lulz. So what if the dance is used twice, where does it say that it couldnt be? Its funny. The animation itself was so well done, so thanks to Ohmikegoodness for creating it. I also noticed people saying that it doesnt fit her, but that's the thing, the majority of the champions have random dances that don't neccessarily fit them either, they're just there. That is just my opinion, what's yours?

The first like 30 seconds is the dance.
FYI, you linked the patch preview vid, not the kayle spotlight. Might wanna fix that.

if she put he sword down and you could tell what she was doing a bit better i would definitely vote for the current one, but the flying in circles was cooler then this is currently as i find it hard to tell what she is doing with such tiny movements

I liked the old dance better. I don't hate the new one exactly, but I liked the old one with "fly up in the air, spin around!". It had a certain elegance to it that I much prefered.

I voted for no, well the new animations on the wings are nice, but it's just not graceful enough. As an angel, I expect to see Kayle to be really elegant and graceful, not jumping around...

It's funny how people say the dance doesn't fit her, but what Urgot's tango? Dances are meant to be fun! Part of the awesome is the juxtaposition. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion!

One of the champs needs to do caramelldansen, might as well be Kayle (not holding the sword please).

Yeah but Urgot has always had that dance so we're used to it - I don't find anything particularly wrong with it. If Kayle had this new dance right from the start, there would be no reason to be upset. But you guys decided to scrap a great (and unique) dance for one that isn't nearly as good for no real reason. That's why people are upset. I for one will seriously miss the old dance (and I'm never gonna /d on Kayle again lol).

I can understand if a certain dance is just really bad, or outdated or whatever, but there was nothing wrong with Kayle's dance. You mentioned that it was because it looked bad animation wise - so why not just fix it and smooth it out? Why create an entirely new dance?

edit: no feedback? upvotes/downvotes?
