For reference if you haven't seen the clips:

​

Level 1 equip animation (has the spinny animation we all wanted)

Level 2 equip animation (completely different and worse imo) Doesn't fit the \"karambit\" AT ALL.

​

I was actually interested in the bundle until I saw what level 2 of the knife looks like. I like the VFX with the light but I don't like how the knife doesn't spin anymore when you equip it. Idk if it's too late to change something like this but I would genuinely buy this if it didn't have that gross click-out animation. There's something addictive about spamming your knife and having it spin each time. I'd love to do that with the light effect the level 2 upgrade gives it.

Premium Content team:

I respect you for giving players what they've been asking for, I'm just not a big fan of the animation you gave the karambit when upgraded. I think people still wanted the little spin when equipping it and I understand if it's hard to change something like this a day before the bundle releases. Other than this please keep it up with the unique melees (jett knife, fan, and now karambit).

Edit: I am pretty convinced Riot is losing thousands of dollars because of the ugly equip animation. I was actually excited for this karambit but I guess I’ll wait until the butterfly knife.
