Turret Range Difference

I Prefer Thighs·Jan 27, 2019·3 votes·2,826 views

Was messing around in the practice tool (practicing flash spots and wall hops) and I noticed something very interesting upon switching sides. The mid lane turrets on each side have different ranges! It is most likely not a big deal (as people rarely walk in between those two turrets), but I do notice that it is very easy to hop in between the turrets (with 's Q) on the red side and not take a hit from said turrets. However, when I was trying to do so on the blue side, it is much more difficult (although still possible). Not something that would really break the game, but is this what was intended?

I don't have indicators on for red side since it is pretty easy to do. I can re-enable them and re-upload a video if needed.

Doesn't this have to do with the isometric camera and the map not being able to be a perfect mirror? I'm fairly sure there are a couple other minor differences around the map but I just completely blanked on every single one of them.

yea, its due to the camera.

Kinda like how vertical skill shots aren't actually covering the intended area, in this case the lower towers just look more close together because the camera is dipping in that direction.

There are some other subtle things though, for example on blue side Elise can rappel to wolves, but on red side its actually impossible to (over the wall leaving base)

Hmmm, if that is the case, then is there a way to move in between them without getting hit (on the blue side)? I will have to continue trying to see if it is possible. Also I am not too familiar with the camera, but I do know that the ranges are the same (I didn't put difference in quotes for the title). Thank you for the input!

Unless you're able to move fast enough through that middle section before it registers.

That is what I mean (moving fast enough). I am using hops in order to get through each side. The blue side is significantly harder to pull off than it is on the red side. Certain characters also have an easier/harder time moving through the same side as well. Using the same character on each side, it is quite hard to go through the blue side in comparison to red. I have updated the post with 2 videos demonstrating what I mean.

From what I experienced, it is a lot different on each side. When trying to move through the blue side, the player will be shot by both turrets when going through the center. On the other hand, players moving through the red side will only get hit by one turret. I tried quite a few different angles for each side. I understand that the map is not perfectly mirrored, but this is something that kind of annoys me. I am able to consistently go from bot to top (an vice-versa) without taking a single shot from the turrets on the red side, but it is a lot more difficult to do so on the blue side. Rather than taking no shots, I usually come out taking at least one and sometimes two at once.
