Easy fixes for you Riot!

Hi summoners, isajohoff here!

Rito once wrote that if there was something they could fix without too much risk, they would gladly do it. This basically means clarity stuff, like drawing a line around a hitbox so it's more visible, giving something a range indicator (Good examples are the circle around the gragas barrel and fiddle ult). Bear in mind these ingame fixes (usually) have nothing to do with the actual power of a champion, just visibility and clarity. So here's a list I came up with, in case it might arrive at the right people. I included a few other easy fixes as well

  • Jax's ult passive and Diana passive don't have icons to show a) on which strike they are on and b) how long until these stacks decay. Just a little icon above the abilities like udyr-phoenix or yasuo-steeltempest would be enough.

- Ezreal's ingame icon has a yellow box thing around him. (Probably just a bug, but might as well point it out)

  • In champ select, mundo's abilities depict a doctor with a white labcoat, and not mundo himself. Been like that for ages now, so I don't know if it's intentional or not.

  • Also in champ select, Maokai's W E and R are just little "img" icons. Don't know if it's just me, but I'll write it anyway.

  • in most of rumbles skins, his ult looks like the hitbox is made up of multiple circles in a line. However, according to galaxy rumble, it's a long rectangle (so actually larger than is shown in the normal skins). I often stand at the edge of a rumble ult and still get damaged :(

  • Jax's leap still does damage even if he gets interrupted midair. Since rito fixed Irelia's dash, might as well fix Jax's.

  • Poppy can walk through Azir's ult if she ults someone else. Is this intentional, because I thought Azir's ult counted as terrain just like Aniv wall, Trundle pillar, and J4 ult? I don't mind, I main poppy, but I'd like to have this clear for clarity's sake.

  • If you place a ward in a place which is being scanned by red trinket by the enemy, the ward still becomes invisible for a short while after being placed, then disables like it should under the scanner. It would feel a lot smoother if it didn't go invisible under the sweeper.

  • If you're in queue, open up the shop or look at stuff like the champions or runes etc. the gong sound comes and someone declines or doesn't accept, you get knocked back to the starting page. Quite annoying if you're checking smt out.

  • There are some champions who have pets or clones which tp back to them when they are a certain distance away (e.g. Annie tibbas, leblanc clone). I find it quite annoying not knowing what the range is. Something like ori-protect range-indicator would be nice.

  • range indicator for kalista e like twitch e pls (the abilities are so similar, why not)

  • Cassio's kit revolves around the enemy being poisoned, but she has no way of telling how long they are going to be poisoned for (crucial information she needs). Maybe something like the timer indicators with udyr-bear-stance or yasuo-e would work here.

  • Whilst I'm here, may I just say that it would be nice if the leaver system didn't work for bot games. In bot games, the bot on the enemy team dcs anyway. Plus most people play bots just for the lulz. Some play it if they don't have enough time for a normal. Being punished for leaving a bot game is just.... Meh.

Thanks for reading this.

If you have anything to add to the list, please do so. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is welcome too of course (notice the word in caps).

Diana glows pretty brightly when she's on the third strike. Don't know how you miss that. They changed Cass again so she doesn't focus on how long people have been poisoned. Otherwise, pretty solid. Especially the Ez and Mao image glitches, I have those too.

That bit with Azir's wall, I think initially when cast its not a terrain but a knock back, then it becomes a wall. i've avoided being hit by it once as poppy and thats my conclusion. fun fact did you know you can E out of Jarvin4's pit so long as there is an enemy of some sort on the outside?

these are my speculations

I have something: Ulting with Fiora and drawing turret aggro again and again. The constant warning ping is frickin annoying. Could probably change it so that Fiora can't draw turret aggro until her ult is finished.

Oh wow, Riot actually fixed one of the clarity issues :D
