Recall



Recall is an ability that all players have access to regardless of selected champion. Recall causes your champion to hard channel for 8 seconds ( seconds in Dominion), if the channel is not interrupted the champion will be teleported to their team's Spawn Pool.

Gameplay
Recall is activated by either clicking the Recall button on the ability panel or by pressing the key that the button is bound to ("B" by default). Recall's channel can be interrupted by the champion performing a variety of actions such as casting abilities or moving, by being hit by an enemy's attacks or spells or by allied displacement spells such as &. Things that do not break Recall's channel include emotes like /laugh and /joke, certain summoner spells and items like and  and having allied spells cast on you like.

Enhanced Recall
When Dominion was released, Recall was remade to fit in to the game mode's fast-paced style, creating Enhanced Recall which takes seconds to channel.

Improved Recall
In Season Two, the Utility mastery tree included the tier 1 mastery to reduce the cast time of Recall by 1 second and Enhanced Recall by  seconds.

In Season 4, the Utility Mastery Tree includes the tier 1 mastery to reduce the channel time of Recall by 1 second and Enhanced Recall by  seconds.

Development history
The Recall function was originally tied to, which was a purchasable item that could be activated to return to base. The function was then made into an optional summoner spell, and eventually into a feature inherent in all champions.

Recall Animation
Since V1.0.0.140 patch, new champions and certain skins, like legendary skins (e.g. ), have received a special recall animation and a few have received special quotes. Also, when an older champion gets a visual upgrade, all of his or her skins are outfitted with a new recall animation.

Since the release of, with the exception of , the recall animations between the classic skin and the first released alternate skin of a Champion differ from one another. For example, classic folds his guns before him, while  produces a chair to sit in with drinks in hand. Below is a list of champions and skins released that currently have recall animations:

The following champions have recall animations across all their released skins:

The following Champions do not have a recall animation for their classic skin, nor for all their alternative skins. Though, some of their newer, event or high-priced skins do have recall animations as listed below:

Player disconnection
When a player leaves the game his or her champion will automatically attempt to walk back to base. Soon after arriving at the base, the champion gains a huge bonus to magic resistance and armor; this is to prevent enemies from using global abilities (like and ) to instantly kill champions that have disconnected early in the game. Players who have disconnected prior to the game starting are granted the same bonus Magic Resistance/Armor.

Trivia

 * The old is possibly a reference to the film The Matrix. In the film Neo is offered the chance to take a red or a blue pill, signifying his choice of whether to continue living in the world he knows or to wake up.
 * It was previously possible for champions with abilities that make them dash to an enemy champion to follow an enemy that has just finished recalling and teleported to base, making the champion fly all the way to the enemy base.
 * Projectiles will still do so.
 * If you recall while the Nexus is destroyed, the camera will attempt to center on your champion rather than the exploding Nexus.
 * When he was first remade, an oversight allowed to be able to use Recall to trigger his  passive, so he could refresh the cooldowns of all of his abilities by simply rapidly pressing the recall key.
