Tons of skillshot abilities are confirmed not to make a sound or noise when hit in the fog of war.

This includes Varus, Gnar, Ezreal, Aatrox, Bard, Yasuo, Brand. None of them make a sound when their abilities are hit in a brush or fog of war. Please Riot fix this asap, it's a huge bug for players who scout or think they missed a skillshot when they actually didn't. I've lost a bunch of kills as Varus because I believe I missed the target who was backing in a brush.

Other threads have been created as well. Here's a video a fellow summoner posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDN3ge8Uyrs

We've got work underway on this issue at the moment, though until we've got a fix verified we won't know when we'll be able to roll it out. Thanks for the report.

Morg Q also doesn't, the only way I know I landed it as support is when I see my gold ticking up for the gold support item. This occurs in brush or fog of war.

IF VARUS Q'S SOMEONE IN THE FOREST, BUT NO ONES AROUND TO SEE IT, DOES IT MAKE A SOUND?

Apparently not.

As a lux main who uses q when e is on cooldown to scout, yes please! Lux

Wrong. when Yasuo hits a tornado in the fog of war, it BOTH makes a sound AND shows you the tornado animation of them being knocked up.

What it doesn't do, which is a hindrance to good Yasuo players, is give site of the person hit so that you can use your ultimate on the player you KNOW is knocked up, but somehow can't see flying above the grass.

I played ahri today and alot of my charms into the fog of war made no sound at all. I had to face check in order to actually see that i hit them.

Let's make all single target Q projectile ability a skillshot

It shouldn't make a sound? I've never heard a skill shot make one and you can't hear anything else going on in that brush either.

I'm a little surprised that you don't run the Blade Weaving mastery on Varus, btw.

Shyv E isn't making the sound either, which makes counterjungling harder.

Are you sure this is a bug? This is just an advantage for people who listen closely, why should you be able to use a skill that doesn't grant vision to scout?

But for gnar, can't you just determine if someone is there by checking the boomerang to see of it came back faster/didn't travel the full distance? I still agree with you though.

Actually, I main Gnar and I always q check bushes, the sound of hitting ~~THOSE GODDAMN GARENS~~ something always registers for me when I play Gnar at least. It makes the normal boomerang whack noise

Would help IMMENSELY with Lux.
