VARUS Q ISSUE

AustinGoombs·Aug 22, 2014·2 votes·384 views

Hello, This post is a bit late because I have tried to give myself time to adapt the change but I couldn't

I'm having a huge issue with Varus's new Q arrow indicator.

1.) It's huge and makes things difficult to see.

2.) It is pointless. -When using QuickCast on skill shot champions like Ezreal and Vel'Koz, there is no indicator. If I wanted an indicator, then I would have turned it on in the menu. Also, when I shoot an Ashe or Ezreal ult while on QuickCast, there isn't a huge Arrow indicator across the map showing me where it will go. So why should there be one on Varus's Q where the only difference is that there is a charge up and a limited range. It's the same as most other skill shots and should be treated as one.

3.)** Please give an option to remove it**. I know many people enjoy the change, I have tried so very hard to adapt, but I can't. To me its a nuisance.

Played Varus before, play him still, it's really neutral to me. Q is the only thing in his kit I don't smartcast (same with Xerath Q, Viktor E, Rumble R) It's just kind of there. Nothing horrid or amazing.

Please add a "meh" or "Neutral" option, there's three sides to this coin.

I have seen many people that say it's some terrible thing, and an option to remove it would be nice, though champion specific options are questionable.

the indicator is not pointless the skill on the other hand feels pointless everyone will dodge it because its not the fastest projectile and the charging time, entire cast and travle time of jinx's zap is probably shorter than charging the q, so you have much more time to react and something like 705 of dodge rate for this skill

Actually if you look at "skill dodge ability" there's a certain range at which any skill when correctly cast will be completely undodgeable. Blitzcranks grab for instance is undodgeable at 66% range (it can be missed but that's the blitzcranks fault at that point.) Varus' arrow is undodgeable at nearly 80% of it's huge cast range. If you're missing every one that's your fault.

Varus has a tonne of other issues and none of them are related to his q

(though I will agree I hate the new indicator as well, and I hate how I can't quick tap is q for a short range skill shot to quickly proc blight. Sometimes it just keeps charging or an extra second,or even more until I click q again. soo annoying) .

The way they balance ADC's these days is completely focused on either Auto attackers or spell casters alternating between those two. The third class, that bring utility and aoe through spells (Ashe, Miss fortune, Varus, Sivir) have been ignored for so long it is not even funny (Sivir was op with her rework, but the nerfed her to the ground). Its like they don't even care about this class of adcs. Its not even rock paper scissors between them, because its just a tug of war between Hyper carries and spell casters, depending on who gets which items buffed.
