Recall is an ability that all players have, regardless of the champion they are playing. It causes your champion to channel for a few seconds. If the channel is not interrupted, it causes the champion to appear at their team's fountain.

Upgrades

Possessing the following buffs will upgrade Recall Recall into Empowered Recall Empowered Recall:

This article or section may contain obsolete information, but exists here for historical purposes.

When Dominated Dominion profileicon Dominion was released, Recall was remade to fit in to the game mode's fast-paced style, creating Enhanced Recall which had a much shorter cast time.


Improving Recall

In Season Two, the Utility Mastery Tree included the Tier 1 Mastery Improved Recall mastery 2013 Improved Recall that reduced the channel time of Recall by 1 second and Enhanced Recall by 0.5 seconds.

In Season Four, the Utility Mastery Tree included the Tier 1 Mastery Phasewalker mastery 2014 Phasewalker that reduced Recall's channel time by 1 second and Enhanced Recall by 0.5 seconds.

Development History

Recall (spell)

Recall (summoner spell)

The Recall function was originally tied to Blue Pill Blue Pill, a purchasable alpha 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 Skin Legendary skins (e.g. Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath Battlecast Prime Cho'Gath), have received a special Recall animation and a few have received special quotes. Additionally, when an older champion gets a visual upgrade, all of their skins are outfitted with a new Recall animation.

Since the release of Vi Vi, with the exception of Quinn Quinn, the Recall animations between the classic skin and the first released alternate skin of a champion differ from one another. For example, Original Lucian Original Lucian folds his guns before him, while Hired Gun Lucian Hired Gun Lucian produces a chair to sit in with drinks in hand.

Although Recall is disabled on the Howling Abyss icon Howling Abyss, attempting to do so by pressing the key bound to it will play the animation for the respective champion or skin.

In patch V9.11, players in the Season 2019 - Challenger 1 Challenger rank of the league system were given special, golden particles for their Recall animation. These particles would only be visibly golden for the 'regular' Recall but not for Empowered Recall Empowered Recall nor the minimap representation of Recall. Additionally, this special Recall animation would play in all unranked queues and ranked queues, but only in the particular ranked queue they are Challenger in (be it Solo/Duo Queue or Flex Queue).

Trivia

  • The first icon of Recall Recall was modified for several game assets.
  • It was previously possible for champions with abilities that make them Dash 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.
  • If you Recall while the Nexus is destroyed, the camera will attempt to center on your champion rather than the exploding Nexus.
  • When Ryze Ryze was first remade, an oversight allowed him to use Recall to trigger his Arcane Mastery Arcane Mastery passive, so he could refresh the cooldown of all of his abilities by simply rapidly pressing the Recall key.
  • Xayah Xayah and Rakan Rakan are the first champions to be able to interact and affect Recall mechanically.
  • In Teamfight Tactics Set 3, the animation for the when three Mech-Pilot Mech-Pilot units merge into the Super-Mech is borrowed from Recall.
