Riot Games' old website had a super satisfying hover effect for their menu button (top left -- you'll have to close the Wayback machine bar with the close icon top right) https://web.archive.org/web/20210301032806/https://riotgames...



Very nice example of texture animation driven by css transitions. I'm a game dev. After Unity began to support css transitions, I found myself doing more and more flipbook stuff to really give existing UI elements that extra punch. A recent example: https://vimeo.com/718225603


This one is great! I just wish there were a handful more animation frames, it's a tad choppy.

Heads up, you can add `if_` after the date in a web archive link to show it without the header. I.e. https://web.archive.org/web/20210301032806if_/https://riotga...


Neat tip, thanks!


Why does the hover effect not happen if I hover the ▼ part of the button though? It makes it seem like icon and the ▼ do different things.
