I dont understand I just got out of a game where everytime the Varus Q'd it said ''Channeling''

Why is it necessary to inform my opponent everytime someone is doing a skill, they cant see that for themself? Thats a horrible addition to the game.

We are literally at the point where the enemy can see ''CHANNELLING'' if were doing a skill like that? Seriously what the hell is that. Even if you recall it also says the same thing I dont enjoy recalls when theres big ass font ''CHANNELLING'' on my recalls either, it looks stupid.

This is just one of the step to make the game even more noob friendly In a few years even plants and rocks would be able to play it (and feed)

I agree its kinda pointless, but its not as if its any different before, as varus you also gave visual and auditory ques when you start winding up the bow anyway.

Visual ques for abilities have been requested for a while so that people who can't hear (or choose to play without sound) aren't forced to watch for subtle animations to know abilities are charging. This only serves to even the playing field by adding consistent ways to see actions that are taking place.

as someone who rarely plays with sounds, I agree that this is a tad bit annoying looking. Plus, for the people that learn to watch for abilities, they'll get better at the game versus someone that relies on a text bubble, alerting them of an ability.

Maybe they could have a toggle off option for people who want them off, I don't think they should be universally removed though.
