Make Kayle Q a skillshot?

WookieJesuz·Sep 21, 2015·1 votes·788 views

I know everybody complains about riot's "make everything a skillshot" approach, but I feel that in kayle's position making her q a skillshot would help quite a bit. Reason why: Kayle is often kiting, or chasing people with her slows and speed. During a chase, it's pretty annoying to turn around, and use the channel time for the ability to slow, in that time they usually will have gained on you a considerable amount, reducing your ability to kite. Making the ability a skillshot would allow some additional power to be put onto the ability, as well as a QOL changed for kiting.

Why would making Kayle's Q missable make her better at kiting or chasing?

This^ Making it a skill shot wouldn't change the fact that kayle has to turn around to use the spell. It would just make it harder to use. Asking for Kayle's Q to have a shorter cast time/animation would be what you want.

But damn i'm all for giving her a skill shot ;)

I guess my logic is that it would be less cast time, like you said, but by making it missable, they could make it have more dmg/effects than it does now.

No thanks, she still has to turn around anyway. Plus she's very squishy, so if she gets jumped, and has to use her ult before the enemy it's over.

Riven's damage early is too high? --> Better nerf Kayle !

Skarner over 60% win-rate? --> Better nerf Kayle !

Garen build full tank and damage like a truck? --> Better nerf Kayle !

Darius heal 25% health every 4 secs and can reset his true dmg ult? --> Better nerf Kayle !

Vayne %HP true dmg and AS late game is ridiculous? --> Better nerf Kayle !

Come on, Riot . You didn't even nail the coffin . Q skillshot might make Kayle extinction --> Better nerf Kayle !

I disagree with this suggestion for the following reason: Kayle, the Judicator may NEVER miss a spell. You make her spells skill shots and should she miss merely one... the loss of face is too real.

If I'm understanding correctly, I like this. Are you suggesting reducing cast time in exchange for making it an ability that can miss? This'd really help kiting and make Kayle a more skill focused champ.

I say Nay.

Her current kt doesn't allow for her Q to be changed into a skillshot, I'm just waiting for her VGU.

Making everything a skill shot just empowers high mobility characters more. Characters like Lee sin, Zed, Fizz, Leblanc etc are a massive pain in the ass already because so many targeted cc spells are gone. Mobas NEED targeted cc! Its part of how you balance the game and have a more diverse pick pool. Some characters just have to be reliable in what they do.
