Its 2019 Riot, there is no need for Point and Click to be in the game anymore...

Seriously, most things except shields, buffs etc should be skillshots. There is simply no need for damaging abilities to be attacks with 0 counterplay. Skillshots are the superior mode of design because if you are good or clever, you can evade them but many point and click abilities you cannot. I noticed that you removed a lot of them from Supports, like Zilean's bombs and Taric's stun but hardly at all from other champion. Assassins in particular have loads of non-interactive point and click abilities that do not need to be point and click, like Zed's ultimate.

I think SMITE sorted out this problem a long time ago, everything is a skillshot and almost completely avoidable if you play right. So why can't League be the same way, why do the same cheap characters, need the same cheap point and click abilities year in, year out. (Like Veigar's R for example).

There is no need for this terrible lack of design in 2019.

I think this shows a very shallow understanding of how League is designed and balanced.

In fact, many League veterans think the exact opposite; they believe that the lack of point and click abilities has lowered the amount of strategy in the game, overall, and they hate it.

League is not Smite. They are very different games. Just because they are both MOBAs doesn't mean that both aim to, or even should aim to, deliver similar experiences. If you want a game with all skillshots, it sounds like Smite is perfect for you, but please don't hold League to that standard just because you prefer it. That's not good design, either.

I think this shilling shows why you don't deserve to be a herald... shill alert! NPC is here... incapable of independent thought...

I really do not care how League is "balanced" because we all know it is not. Its just so mired in corruption and developer favoritism, you can't really call it balancing.

Wait, how you know what's balancing?

Maybe Riot doesn't as well, but you does? How so?

The arrongancy and hostality that you are showing in this post, in few comments, is taking away any credibility.

One small Git gud, play Smite :)

Hahaha, Tbh with the mobility creep IMO there is more need than ever for some champions to have the reliability of point an click abilities.

Exactly my point, yet chosen champions get to keep theirs while others have theirs taken away.

Crying again? I see you deleted the previous post.

If zed/veigar Ult was a skillshot, they would need to have their numbers buffed extremely hard.

Also, Zed R does no damage on it's own, it amplifies the damage you deal to the target after you R, so you still need to hit Q to do damage. And if you only hit 1 Q damage is not that good. And he is rewarded with big damage if he hits 3 Q at the same time, so it needs great aiming to hit all 3. Now, if you already fed the zed 4 kills prior, then sure 1REQauto will kill you.

WoW, racism at it's finest :) thanks for that. Also, great ad hominem. :)

Point-and-click is the only reliable way to deal with hyper-mobile/flashy champs. If such champions are way out of position, they should be punished for it, like most immobile champs are for making even the slightest mistakes.

There is a section called "Rant". I think you will find your home there.
