I believe there was a big(ish) post saying they wold probably update all spells vfx to match that clearer style.

Hey,

I had totally mentioned this to the design guys. Let me get an update for you or get one of them to come in here and chat.

Could you also look at a bug that causes varus' q to sometimes not fire? If smartcasted, the usual way it's supposed to fire is you hold it down until you want to fire, and then you release the key. What sometimes happens is you release the q, but the arrow doesn't fire. Instead, you have to tap the q key again to get it to fire. I first noticed this bug a long time ago, but stopped playing varus so I couldn't tell if it was fixed. Then, I played him in URF mode and it was still present. Maybe you guys have done some work on it since then, but if not, please have a look.

This is possibly intentional. Smart-Cast normally allows you to hold down your skill button so that you can check range indicators without actually firing off the skill if you're not ready yet, but if you click to move while it is happening, you can safely let go of your skill without firing it off. Varus' "bug" is likely just the natural result of the way his skill works with the way that smartcasting works.

The ability shouldn't function two different ways at random. That doesn't feel good. There's no way this isn't a bug, especially because it never behaved like this before.

I did chat with the design guys and they're looking at it. They've been a little busy lately ;) Something something mustache guy.

Thanks for your patience! We are listening!!

There's one thing about Xerath's Q that makes more sense on Varus and Vi's Qs. The charge bar that comes up when they being charging their Q fills when it reaches its maximum power, but in Xerath's case when the bar fills up that is when his Q cancels from charging too long. Maybe make his Q charge indicator like theirs?

Fair enough +1

Excellent point. I never really noticed this, at least not consciously, but now that you point it out it is a glaring flaw. Although I've always used the actual arrow on Varus's bow as my aimer.

except varus' skill shot is very easy to land because it moves so fast

Compared to Caitlyn Jinx Lucian Ezreal Corki who also have long range line-skillshots, it is actually one of the slower ones.

I have been maining supp in ranked for months now and I have fallen out of grace with my other roles because of it.....hard. Varus is one I need to get better as, again, and I think this would help immensly. I have been missing his Q left and right so much it's sad.
