[Gameplay] Nidalee Q Spear Sometimes Invisible- Notes Inside on How to Recreate
I have seen videos on this and just tried out some testing in a custom game with my husband to see if we could recreate it. This is what we found.
- Sometimes Nidalee can see the spear but the enemy cannot. Sometimes the spear is invisible to Nidalee, too.
- This is more noticeable in areas where terrain goes up/down, as the spear will disappear under the terrain. Ex: Throwing spear from creek into mid lane. There are spots where the spear will go invisible for the middle part of it's journey, as it goes under the terrain.
- We were able to recreate it a lot in creek bushes around mid. If you throw the spear slightly to the left or right, while in the bush, and it happens to go through a wall, it will make the spear invisible on the other side of the wall. This does not happen when thrown directly into the wall in a straight line. This happens on a lot of walls in the map though, where throwing a spear into a wall at a slight left/right angle will make it invisible on the other side. Note it has to probably be at around a 10 degree angle to get it become invisible, any more and it will become visible.
- Although I'm not sure if it's a bug, you can have invisible spears by sniping people through thick walls, because they cannot ward the terrain that is a wall and you cannot see spears in walls. Technically, it's fog of war, but you also can't ward the thick walls either. Ex: The wall by outer mid turret. I stood in a bush on the other side, Nidalee was under her turret, and she threw the spear at me and I could just barely see animations because I was looking for them. A little green swirl is all.
I have detailed exactly how to get invisible spears in some situations, although I fear this is not all of them since I have seen them invisible in lanes and we were not able to recreate those. I hope you get this fixed soon, and I hope no one reads this and abuses it until then.
Thanks.
