Does anyone else have trouble telling when Dawnbreaker Riven is ulting?

I legit can't tell. The skin is so damn flashy it all blends together.

Not including that animation cancels are way easier with this skin.

If you mean you can't tell that she has used R1 idk what to say since she's bright gold and her sword is gigantic. If you mean you can't tell when she throws the windslash there's a few possible reasons (but none you'll like). She either cancelled the animation, which would produce the same effect on any skin, or you're blind.. and deaf.. She very clearly shouts and throws the thing, there's not really another way to present the ability that adds more clarity than "HYAHHHH!!!" followed by the actual projectile.

It's pretty much impossible to tell when any riven is ulting if they cancel properly, or at least they won't give you a chance to flash it or anything like that.

You´ll always realize it like 1-2 seconds after their combo is over,.....possibly your champions life as well x)

But play against it enough times and you´ll have a "feeling" that tells you when they are about to drop the ulti combo, that's pretty much as close as you can get.

Doesn't she turn all yellow when she ults?

Skins don't affect animation timings.

Her W and ult self-animation are the exact same, so ill see her W'ing a minion and think "oh fuck she ulted" and flash away, then i realize my mistake and facepalm

Honestly to many champs/skins fall into this. I know they are flashy and help Rito make money but, if it gives someone an unfair advantage I call that pay to win.
