Clarity in ability details

The Ecdysiast·Feb 15, 2017·9 votes·583 views

We shouldn't have to visit the wiki-- as opposed to even the official game page-- to find out what an ability actually means.

Examples: Katarina's Shunpo: "Dashes in the blink of an eye." It is a blink, not a dash. It should not claim to be a dash. Vel'koz's Void Rift: "cuts through the ground in a line." Does not cut through the ground, since the ground is not its own layer in the game. As such, it's blocked by two abilities which appear to be completely above ground.

It's sad that you have to visit external websites that aren't even designed by the makers of the game to get basic things like ratios and even damage values. The client doesn't do either of those things.

They should provide some serious in-depth detail about each champion and their abilities on the champion page. They should also update the tooltips a bit, not not so much. I don't mind colorful language and a lack of in-game numbers (that would make the game all about stat-checking), but they really should be careful to avoid using incorrect technical words such as dash.

I also wish there was a place that stated what abilities can be cancelled by what. If you read up on Illaoi's page on any site, you would not learn that her q cannot be cancelled even by knockups, but her w can be cancelled mid-dash by cc.
