Arc'Light Vel'koz skin....

Battlecast Bear·Feb 6, 2015·2 votes·1,431 views

Anyone else (WHO IS A FAN OF VEL) upset at the fact his W in his arclight skin, the hit box is completely visible for the enemy? Ever since I got it people keep avoiding my W casts now because they can see the hit box, I gotta go back to using his original or his battlecast (which is still an awesome skin :3) just to play ranked! :/

Riot gave iBlitzcrank a visual effect for his grab because apparently people couldn't see it (which if you stand in front of a enemy blitz....your asking to get grabbed) so I don't see why they can't fix this hit bot deal right?

This happens with a lot of recent skins. I dont use project yasuo cuz it's too easy to see when the w is. EDIT: and don't you mean protoss velkoz?

No, I'm usually more pleased by how shiny and pretty it is... but you're right, they should just have the rune box unfurl as it opens, rather than showing the full box. I noticed the Ahri I was just playing against kept moving out of it before it hit her.

so you're asking for riot to remove visualization for a skill, and your reasoning is a skill that they added visualization to?

alone that gives no indicator of the range or width of that skill, and while there are probably better ways to show that, making it just the mark is a bad idea

It's more that in the normal Vel'Koz skin, the line opens up in front of him up to its maximum distance, then ruptures. On the Arclight skin, the whole box is shown at once, and the runes fill it gradually up to the maximum distance, then deal damage again.

videos dont seem to show that, but i guess it just follow similar to how the other skins do.

Well the golden box that opens shows literally the entire hitbox, left to right and end-to-end, so there's no guesswork. The older skin requires a bit of guesswork -- you see the rift open, but the exact width of the damage hitbox isn't indicated by a border.
