Riot, please address traps.

In Patch 6.12:

The issue people are having with traps(especially Caitlyn's) is that they are hard to see if not effectively invisible when placed behind turrets and other terrain. We would have less to complain about traps if we could see what our enemy is doing so we can play around it, so what I'm asking or is a sweep across all the traps in the game so they give an outline to both teams when they are blocked by terrain unless they're in an unwarded bush or something. This will make champs that abuse this trait less frustrating and make sure we can actually do something about it, because blocking our view with terrain is just unfair and feels bad. Hopefully a Rioter sees this or something, so we can hear about this.

At least that one is an actually good anime.

I feel like it wasted a lot of potential, but at least some parts were strong. I just wish they did a little more with the premiss.

The downside of anime adaptions, gotta cram so much in one season.

The only thing that bothered me is that after the first episode, it was never brought up again if he tried to get home again.

Well he's an undead without glands, so for the most part he can only apply logic to his actions.

If he'd stumble across something that suggested the ability to come back, he'd investigate it, but making that his main objective would be a waste really.

Overlord is one of my favorite animes... but it's a guilty pleasure.

It's not a good anime, the pacing is atrocious and the story is disjointed as hell. It has a few moments that are glorious, but the vast majority of the time it's riddled with plot holes, horribly placed exposition and underdeveloped characters.

It was more of me taking a crack at Re:Zero. That said, Overlord is one of the few action anime I enjoyed.

I like both, and I recognize that both are deeply flawed anime.

That being said, Overlord made me want to read the Light novel (source material). Re: Zero did not. But I like them both equally.... I just found Overlord more appealing to my sensibilities as a hardcore gamer.

I wouldn't call Overlord an action anime but it does have action... it's hard to classify but I get your point. Still I will defend Re: Zero despite it's deep flaws. I guess that makes me a fanboy.

It's A TRAP

Sraeg20132 votes

Well, I can only see the face so it's hard to tell.

Now that I think about it, it explains why the other guy replied with an image of elf siblings from Overlord.

One thing is certain. I wasn't wrong about the "cat" part.

But the concept of a trap is something that is supposed to be unexpected or unseen. Not to mention, a trap doesn't fall under the same context as what Riot was referring to.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by this. I hate Cait, but I can see the traps just fine. I just think they make her too strong. Minions should trigger them.

Spice POWAH2 votes

the issue is that you can't see them when behind terrain except for a thin ring, so the glow only helps when you can see the trap itself.

NoPaxt4 votes

Cait's traps are quite very visible, I don't understand the problem. They practically glow...

Spice POWAH5 votes

they really aren't if they're behind a turret, it's a thin ring.

But those traps won't remove half of your hp plus root you lol

BBQChicken Alert3 votes

You can easily counter these traps with a sweeping lens or control ward. Also, Jhin's traps don't root unless he lands his W. They also won't do half your health unless he's AP.

I'm not even complaining about those wtf, howd you how come to that conclusion? Im talking about Caitlyn traps smh

"Getting the upper hand simply because your opponents cant see what you're doing isn't fair" I agree with the trap thing, it's pretty annoying. If she wasn't able to chunk 1/2 your life with a BF sword from 1 trap at (insert whatever that range is here) then it would be different. That note also made me think of someone else.

Inc downvotes but Evelynn As a support player, one of the few tools I have to effectively stop ganks in their tracks is wards, but eve is impossible to ward against. Being able to place one pink isnt gonna save you. She'll either clear it and walk right back, or take a different path. I don't think she's really OP, and I don't even think stealth generally is either, but a permastealth as a passive is pretty annoying to try and get vision on, since you really cant. So much for not being fair when we can't see anything she does ;_;

I know it's hard, but maybe you should actually finish reading a paragraph.

Get your jungler to ward her camps

Final Spark Lux1 votes

Still doesn't do much. Whenever I get a chance I'll usually ward the camps myself, but even then, she'll just stealth and come bot immediately or go somewhere else forcing you to play back and potentially lose a lot of CS / exp because you're scared of a gank and theres no way to see it coming. And that's assuming I have an ADC that will even listen to me.

I've had one instance where I played a premade with some people, and we all agreed to just play back at our turrets for the majority of lane phase, and it actually worked amazingly well. Eve fell off pretty hard because she couldn't get any ganks off. Unfortunately nobody wants to play back even if it means getting an easy lead, and eve will inevitably end up getting free kills because people think it's a smart idea to ignore the fact that the enemy jg is eve.

Cipse1 votes

You need wards in her jungle, she goes out of stealth when attacking the mobs. It's more annoying than warding bushes around the lane but it's something.

Final Spark Lux1 votes

Amazing how you quoted what I said, yet clearly didn't read any of it

Knight Sky3 votes

Yeah There pretty visible, and if you fall for the old trap behind turret trick then thats on you

that doesn't address the fact that she deletes people with only two items and doesn't fall off late game while still being a lane bully

I don't mind traps as long as they're cute.
