Skills that should be cast at max range

Zarkkast·Aug 22, 2014·6 votes·795 views

I don't know if anyone here will agree with me, but I think some skills really need to be cast at max range, so I'll make a list with those I remember now.

Fiddlesticks R - Seriously, the amount of times I've seen people fucking up ganks (including myself) because they clicked slightly out of the max range and walked out of the bush is ridiculous.

Viktor E - This is one of the most problematic skill casts in the game in my opinion. It's a skill that's supposed to make your life easier and that you can use while walking without any casting penality, but then you're running away and use your E to poke them away and instead of casting Viktor turns around because you clicked slight off the max range, and of course, you're dead.

Those are really the only ones I can think of now, but I know there are more out there. So am I the only one that thinks these skills should have this QoL change?

I 93457% agree with Fiddlestick's ultimate. I can't fathom why he doesn't just aim in the direction you click and start channeling there. I mean really - does Rito excpet us to Queue a Fiddlsticks ult from the fountain to a designated spot on the mini map? Oh hey guys, lets do Dragon while I get something to drink - gonna queue my ultimate from base. That situation totally happens more than "i see an oppening to ult from my murder bush". Rito pls. PLS.

Had to look up that robot guy's E. Didin't realize that was his laserbeam, thought it was his bola shield. I can see how that's annoying, but due to it's targeting where you draw on the ground, I can also see why he'd walk up to a location to do it. Victor in general is just hard to control properly, though a lot of it with him seems more like he's using complicated commands that do merit a solid amount of time in mastering them over just unintuitive stuff like Fiddlestick's derp ult.

I'm definitely gonna start doing that in my Fiddle games right now.

Perhaps make these abilities 'cheat' a bit by making them cast at max range if you aim a tiny bit over max range but otherwise make you walk up to the nearest spot to cast (as right now).

I was under the impression that the Fiddlesticks ult was like that so you didn't ult into the wrong side of a wall.

I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me

Dont use Fiddles but i use Viktor a lot and it is so annoying. On the flip side sometimes i will use it to walk Viktor forward and laser while moving to that spot.

Personnally, i use often fiddle ult cast on myself, when i'm in the little bush of the river, being chased, me or a team mate, and then i ult on myself, at the location where they are going to be in a few seconds ^^

Well, that is a possibility if, let's say for instance, you're in the river bush and the mid laner is coming for dragon. But let's say you're trying to gank a lane, you're not gonna sit there waiting X minutes or so until de laner decides to leave his lane.
