warwick cant SMELL invis people because blood somehow loses its scent

{quoted}

Why do people always pull out the "realism" card when criticizing logical fantasy arguments? You do realize that a good deal of fantasy is simply "how would something work if this was possible". Look at something like DnD rules and tell me they aren't trying to be as "realistic" as possible outside of the fantasy rules they have added.

On topic, it makes sense to me from a gameplay perspective that Warwick can "see" invisible people with his blood tracking ability. Whats even the point if the ability if people can hide from it anyways?

Following your logic, what's the point of an invisibility/stealth spell if people can see you through it? Warwick can chase 99% of the hero roster with his blood scent, that's the point of the ability

While I completely agree that a fantasy world has its own rules to follow and that the "realism" card isn't a very good one in general, I still find myself agreeing with Burgee. There are some cases where, for the sake of game fairness and balance, you have to ignore the "realistic" problems any given ability might have. For example, Teemo has a blind, but realistically his Blinding Dart shouldn't affect Lee Sin, as Lee Sin doesn't have a problem getting about because he is already blind. But what kind of game would this be if we had people immune to certain spell effects? Should Lissandra be immune to any cold-related slowing effects because she is unaffected by the cold? Should Brand be immune to Annie's spells because he's literally a man of fire? No, and that's all because--despite it going against the "realism" of the setting--it would be randomly unfair and inconsistent.

And second, we all know that the "realism" is not really what this thread was made for. This thread was made to complain about Nidalee jungle. The boards are where people in general come to complain, and in this particular instance the OP has compared Warwick (relatively UP) to Nidalee (FotM) in order to get a point across. I don't think they give a damn about realism I think they just were playing Twitch or something and got beat by a Nid who had the ability to reveal him.

As a side note, no one complains about Corki's reveal ability. From a realistic standpoint, why should a bright burst of phosphorus reveal people who are magically invisible? Further, Corki's guesses don't have to be as precise, because its an AOE skill shot.

Oh! the within genre realism. Ok they have magic powers that cloak their scent too.

The real question is, how can Nidalee see a enemy hit by her spear when they are either far away or behind her?

how about zac ? xD

"That ain't no damn brimstone . . . "

So...let me get this straight...if you face-check a bush...which nid has recently prepared with a trap...and happen to step on that trap due to your aforementioned idiocy...you get revealed?

Couldn't we just boil that down to: face-checking bushes can get you killed? I mean, the danger there isn't unique to Nid.

I'm starting to get the feeling that this is less of a "Warwick should have a thing" thread and more a "let's all bitch about Nid" thread.

But if we're going to complain about Nid, it just baffles me as to why THIS of all things would be our target of choice.

WW's massive AoE also gives (much higher) bonus MS.

And Nid's spear only works if the narrow, easily dodgeable skillshot hits you. Learn to dodge.

If you want to complain about Nid's spears doing too much damage, fine, we can have that discussion. Or one about her execute combo. Or about her impressive mobility, or range, or versatility.

But the comparison of WW's reveal to Nid's is just bloody absurd.
