Change Immolate range to edge to edge

Foerk·Jul 20, 2017·48 votes·1,160 views

The problem with the current Sunfire/Cinderhulk is that their range does not actually increase with model size. Cho'Gath for example can basic attack targets without being in range to apply sunfire. You have to pretty much stand on top of your enemy to use it with big model champs, which feels pretty off. Many of the sunfire/cinderhulk users are such champs.

If this change adds too much power to certain champs(looking at you Cho'Gath), they could just be balanced accordingly.

Its not suppose to hit enemy champions. Its meant for waveclear according to rito. But honestly, besides nautilus, no one really needs it for waveclear. Only tank without good wave clear that lanes is shen, and he gets hydra. Cho doesnt build/need sunfire anyway.

He likes to build Cinderhulk though if he is jungling.

The scaling size would also help with waveclear. Also if it was only for waveclearing, it would not do any damage to champions. So the little damage it does can as well feel good on all champions.

If Cho has gotten large enough that he can't proc Immolate, I don't think he needs any more minion CS.

It's an objective tool for those who have built full tank and cannot clear waves efficiently and therefore are lacking in the ability to lane pressure. CS'ing is one of its secondary uses.

Cho'gath can just use one of his HP-scaling abilities to clear it at that point. You know...any of them at all.

It already does almost no damage to champions. He builds cinderhulk because he likes to stack health and its amazing for that.

The fact that it's relatively low damage and the damage has a minimal impact to champions does not mean it shouldn't function in a sensible manner.

so if you had the range made to fit the champion model wouldnt that horribly affect smaller tanks like poppy or amumu?

not really, it wouldnt be a "scale to size" thing, it would probably be where they have the official start of its range be at the edge of the champion model.

thank you i wasn't understanding it clearly
