"Target Champions Only" option should work together with "Player Attack Move Click"

BGH·Feb 10, 2016·1 votes·1,261 views

It would make playing ADC so much easier if there would be an option to attack champions only in conjunction with your A clicks. Right now if you use the target champion only option with A clicking it does not work and attacks whatever is closer.

There is an option where you can "Target Champion Only" with your quick cast attacks which is the "Player Attack Only Click". But that only attacks the target if you hover over them with your mouse, not as reliable as the "Player Attack Move Click"

Its especially annoying since I'm left handed so mouse click reactions are slower with my right hand.

It's intentionally left out. It'd be so dumb if you could stutter step perfectly just by mashing A-click on the ground.

They already 'buffed' the A-click a while ago so Champions have much higher priority than minions

That makes no sense. Half the champions are all about mashing buttons you can literally play so many champions by just facerolling but they won't allow something like this where it aids the player so they can attack? They dumbed the game down for casuals every patch with more jg info/preset wards in items/pings for warnings/tuturials and what not but this crucial element of the game that is present in many games is not available?

There's always at least some skill required in the button mashing

Imagine playing against Cait in lane with your suggested changes. She'd just A-click the ground and every time you came close for a CS she would AA you perfectly at her max range every time then back away, which is a difficult feat even for LCS ADCs right now.

Even worse: Imagine Kog maw, he could kite you perfectly with max AS just by spamming Move->A-click on the ground, which is something that nobody can accomplish right now.

But your opponent will be able to do the same. It's not that 1 champion that will benefit its everyone. Not to mention this game is not about skill its about teamwork and coordination. Sure a certain level of skill is required to play the game well but you also have to rely on teamwork/coordination/resource allocation in terms of gold/dragon/baron. If this was added in then it becomes a test of who is better at the game from a strategic standpoint rather than a "oh I am able to stutter step/kite better than you" game. If 1 champion benefits then they all do.

Oh and theres no skill required in button smashing hence the term "button smashing"

Might as well make Morgana snare point and click too

If you want to play a MOBA like that play HoTS, the game basically plays itself and all you have to do is move your hero to the right part of the map

Lmao if you are so hell bent on a game that requires skill go play SC or chess. This game is imbalanced as fuck. I don't need to sit here and write you a bible on how retarded and illogical this game is.

You don't need point and click Morgana Q when you have her shield that eats every CC. Which is not button mashing either right? Should it not stop only 1 CC? Noo it stops everything for the entire duration. That's balanced right? No button smashing there. No rational judgement required. Just turn it on and cruise away.

I ain't the one sitting here complaining about this game's mechanics

I've explained very clearly why these changes won't be made, if clicking on champions is too much work for you go play HoTS as I've suggested because it's targeted towards the extremely casual gamer population.

No ones "complaining", its a valid suggestion.

All you have explained is that it would make the game mechanics easier to work with. Which is something we already know. It's the whole point of the change, rather than having to put up with illogical movement options.

Lmao this game IS made for casuals. Its free to play, with over 30 million players and caters to the demands of the general player base very often. There's a reason why they have dumbed the game down from what it use it be. Like I said before, if you want something that requires real skill rather than half luck and other half FOTM go play a legitimate game instead of trying to suppress positive change being done to this one.

Anyways I ain't gonna sit here all day and argue with you. This is why I stay off the boards. Trolls and what not. Peace
