Animation canceling should be removed because it's too heavily abused and feels terrible to fight ag
Well, except AA resetting.
All animation cancelling on spells does is reduce counterplay and increase damage. It's absolutely stupid to balance champions around this, especially considering that it's not that reliable if you don't have super low ping. It just makes champions frustrating to play against when they're good.
Since everybody knows about riven, so I'll use renekton as an example. Renekton's w is supposed can be cancelled with tiamat, which in turn can be canceled with his q. You can basically do his entire combo in the span it would normally take you to w. Alistar is probably the most cancerous example, except riot actually had the sense to remove his. Hopefully they do the same to the assassins when they rework them, because rengar is another huge abuser of this.
It would allow riot to buff champs like riven, because for some reason they thought it would be cool to balance around it. It's not even hard to do in most cases, you just fucking mash buttons.
inb4 "ur just salty u got rekt top kek," I mained renekton at a point and you could absolutely blast ass with very little added effort.
