Why doesn't Zed have a max distance for returning to his shadows?

This kinda always bugged me. No matter how far you take Zed from his shadow, he can return to it if it's still up.

Why? I know there aren't many ways to get him far away from his shadow, but why doesn't it have a limit?

The better question is why can Zed still create shadows, when I have shadows turned off in Settings.

There is a limit, but only his ultimate shadow doesn't.

because it encourge tower diving with zed.

u can ult someone in the middle of the lane, they run back to tower, u destroy them under tower because tower do no dmg, then u press r and pop u are safe.

So there is a range limit for returning to his shadows if they are cast from his W?

So if he used his W before Poppy ulted him away at full charge, he couldn't return to it?

Papa Slothy1 votes

yea, pretty much

the range is actually REALLLY short for the return

Ralanr1 votes

Doesn't seem that way honestly.

Papa Slothy1 votes

you might have thought his r shadow was his w shadow

Ralanr1 votes

Probably.

Papa Slothy1 votes

they're identical so eventually we're all bound to get confused by it

Is there a time limit in between regular and ult?

Papa Slothy1 votes

what do you mean?

Ralanr1 votes

Like, how long does his R shadow last since he can cast W after his ult.

Papa Slothy1 votes

it lasts about 5 seconds I think
