Xin/Jax Ult passive meter?

Tri1Star·Nov 16, 2019·3 votes·3,361 views

So since you guys have now given a display meter for her passive , isn't it long overdue that and/or at least most of all got one for his ult passive? It's a bit more tolerable on Xin since his movements are a lot more vivid and ultimately it has a heal so you cant really miss it, but personally it's a lot more annoying on Jax due to his pudgy looking render and his natural attack speed building tendencies. Of all people, Sona was not hard to keep up with her version of that category of passive. I mean for god sake she even had an icon that told you when it was ready despite the simplicity of her mechanic and her vivid displays, so was 's for that matter. Melee champs like Jax need the treatment the most and that argument can simply be reinforced by the fact that they have to dive right in, and once they dive right in there's usually no going back against certain comps but a ton of information can get lost in the ruckus e.g. that very passive count. Of course these things can also backfire on them but I also think that in itself is fair enough because of how versatile and strong they both are. So these are just a couple of champs out of probably a few more that I think could use this treatment if you're gonna start doing this.

You mean like a 1/2/3 bar?

Ima say no dude. Imagine both of theme at high attack speed. They'd both be generating them so fast it'd be really visually draining.

Like imagine ur in a fight and your buddy Jax is wailing on someone. Out the corner of ur eye you just see this bar constantly filling up and emptying at rapid speed.

I mean I get your point, there probably are people out there that have that kind of issue and it would be nice if there was champ already out I could guinea pig test that experience out on. Personally I don't cause the way I coincidentally play/build sona might as well be an example of that. On an opinion-ated note of your first example, you'd have to be talking with Lethal Tempo cause 2.5 right about now feels slow af even with him, compounded with what I stated earlier about melee champs having much more to analyze being on the frontline I can't imagine being held back by something I (would have preemptively) tested out before going into a live game, still chose to play, and see on a handful of other champs that i blow through spells just as fast .

On your 2nd example you kind of assume that it has to be visual to anyone other than the player, so that player assumes all responsibility for wanting to deal with whatever comes with the champ when they choose him lol (good way to curb his use from another perspective). At the end of the day it wouldn't necessarily have to even be those meters, a lot of champs just have buff status icons for things like that still, hell HE does just for his general passive. Even ryze has his own specialized runes and at one point they were bigger than what they are now, possible nod at the issue you're stating. So there's a lot of arguments that can be made about this than the time i have to spend writing essays about it lol.

But jax that only matters once hes level 6 you know what right ? He only has that pasif once hes lvl 6 and select hes ult and for xin once he select hes w while for annie and sona they got that pasif from the start they dont need to click on anything to have it they just need to use abiltys.

You realize people spend more time in-game after level 6 than they do before level 6, right? By your logic, Corki, Pyke, and even other champions like Shyvana shouldn't have indicators because they need to put a point in it.

That goes against the whole reason for those meters being added in the first place, which was for clarity and QoL changes.

Dint said it was a bad idea though im just saying that it only starts stacking once they select the abilty i mean knowing were jax is at with pasif would be nice yes.

He's just giving you arguments that make that statement moot. Corki is the most clear cut relevant example and they even went the extra mile to literally show you when his empowered rocket will be next when personally, I dont even use his ult outside the empowered rocket lol. In fact iirc, he already HAD a basic meter like sona/annie/jhin and at some point they REVAMPED it into what it is now, time they could have spent giving another champ the much needed basic treatment.
