Reminder that slow moving skill shots feel horrible when everyone is moving at 400+ MS

Please make life better for champions who have to rely on these.

The term implies that some skill is involved in landing them, which was true in the past, but is no longer relevant thanks to mobility creep. For many skill shots, the window for the opponent to dodge is so large that you can only land what they let you.

and yet Morgana 's Q which is one of the slowest skillshots in the game is also one of the most deceptively easy ones to hit... something tells me you are just bad at aiming

Or I'm playing at a Diamond level, where the people in my games react faster than tranquilized monkeys?

Pro play is entirely dominated by champions with unavoidably fast skill shots and/or some form of unavoidable lock down to ensure they land (i.e. Ryze, Azir, Orianna, Taliyah).

Champions with slow moving skill shots, like Ziggs, Vel'koz, Morgana, Lux, etc. are unplayed.

oh look of every single one of those champions you mentioned only Lux has not been played this season... something tells me you have no idea what you are talking about and that you have a insanely terrible aim... please do some basic research before even replying at all

Ziggs is unplayed. Lux is unplayed. Morgana is only played as support, with 33% win rate, and she's only played as a niche counterpick for Rakan's engage. Vel'koz has 0% win rate. Good post, you clearly did a lot of research before spewing this garbage.

Ziggs was played on the LCK in a MVP vs Jin Air match, EU LCS on a Vitality vs Splyce match. This is only counting the main 4 regions and not the academy leagues either I can also tell you those if you want me to since that would be 10 total times that Ziggs would have been picked in a pro games across all regions and leagues, I can even tell you the dates if you so wish. "Ziggs is unplayed" yep he is so unplayed

What does it even matter if Morgana is played support or not? you said that she is not played at all... she is played so... yeah thanks for just looking for things to complain about. She is not a top tier champion you can complain about her winrate all you want doesn't change the fact that she is actually played.

Vel'koz is once again played in the LCK and he has won his last 3 games so much for 0% winrate... I mean if you only want to say that NA is the only competitive region that you care about then sure but I actually watch more than just NA

Good job you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and just want to complain for the sake of complaining. You should do your research before spewing YOUR garbage. Good sir

Hahaha lux skillshots are painful. Late game the only time you hit Q is if you're being chased.

You can hit E's about 25% of the time... I feel like thats O.K. considering its AoE but its missile speed should be upped by like another 50-100 by the top rank potentially.

R? God. So fucking dodgeable Theres a few times where you will always hit this; when running an opponent down a lane, running them into a wall (makes the angle so they literally can't dodge either direction), or a teamfight that is down the lane. But I actually think thats balanced since its super spammable.

I feel like missile speed should increase a little bit at later ranks. Not talking tremendous amounts but like, 50-100 by the end of it.

Sounds like someone needs to practice Lux some more.

Maybe, if you look at my lolgraphs though, I feel as if im doing alright, especially when you consider my DPS per minute compared to diamond, and my extremely low death count.

Maybe you're right though.

im a nidalee main and i dont find it that bad...

granted certain champs like Janna who get it passively, are ABSURDLY BROKEN in this regard.

if you have to use an ability that has a cooldown and costs mana as a speed boost to dodge it.. sure... but if you are just running in circles around me for no apparent reason... that's beyond stupid

You're leaving out a key factor to these: Hitboxes.

Most slower projectiles have larger hitboxes, and even some of the slowest of all

<<<Anivia>>>

Are still easy to land because their kits involve strong area control tools. Lux's Q and E, Morgana's spookyground and root, Viktor's laser, trap, and ult.
