Question about the side Base gates on the PBE right now

Veraska·Jan 7, 2015·1 votes·843 views

As for how they function:

You can only pass through your OWN gate. - You can "exit" and "enter". 
Enemies can not pass through your gate and you can not pass through theirs
For enemy gates, you can Jump, Flash, or interact with them like a normal wall.
You can not see through them.

so how do they interact with hooks like Thresh and nautilus can thresh pull and opponent through an opponents gate? will nautilus's hook interact with the gate like it would any other wall?

I noticed one possible game breaking thing (well not game breaking, but pretty big). The gates act like bushes but I was wondering the enemy can put wards in them. I mean, if they can't, some champions with only targeted spells could never hit them like Elise Fiora Ryze

I don't think they work like bushes for vision, but like a wall. So you just can't see the other side unless you place a ward there (so you don't have to put a ward in the gate, but behind it - just like you would usually do).

For Nautilus, since the gates act as walls he would probably just pull himself to it.

For Thresh, he could probably (if he was far enough away and they were standing right by the gate) pull you through your own gate.

You own gates don't count as terrain, so Nautis hook goes through it, and you can pull enemys through their own gate with thresh. You can't pull enemys through your own gate, as it counts as a wall for them. The opponents gate counts as a wall, so if you hook on it as nauti, you will pull yourself towards it. However, both your own and your enemys work like walls for wards, so if you try to place a ward in them it will be placed at the closest point outside of the gate instead.

My main issue is can they place issues and see INTO the gates since it acts as a wall. Or can they place it on one side and see into it?

not 100% sure if their even is a 'into' as the gates are verysmall. hoever, if you step into it you get slightly transparent like in a brush, which probably means you can actually hide in them. and nope, if that is the case, you can't place a ward or something into it for vision(spells like corkies Q probably still reveal people in gates though) might actally be an issue to have a dead spot one can't get vision on.
