Sorry! Annie will have to blame Riven for taking up my time! It's going to happen, but I can't say when, and I don't want to say "soon"!

She is so fluid and clean. I love playing her.

+1 for this. Riven is the most fun I've had with any champ released since beta. In large part due to her animations.

One small nitpick though. When her ultimate is active, her basic attacks really ought to have a seperate set of animations. 2-handed grip, heavier feel. At the moment, her one-handed horizontal slice thingie looks sota silly with a blade the size of the bouncy girl herself.

Jawa and Ulminati,
That was my original intention actually! I later realized I didn't want her blade of the exile attacks to differ too much from the normal auto attacks. Also, the big pauldron made it hard to make a cool 2-handed pose. Having big armor restricts movement big time. The original two handed attacks, her head would keep penetrating into her armor hahaha. Also, wielding a sword with one hand just allows for cooler poses. I tried to achieve the sense of weight with timing adjustments and posing. In some of her ulted attacks she does briefly two hand swing, but lets it go akin to the swing of a bat. Also, it's a magical floaty sword okay?

Mike, what champs did you have part in animating, or is it all of them so far? o.O

Better than having her drag it around like that lazy bum Trynd.
