I play under low settings and this has never happened to me; its most likely your graphics card or perhaps just in that map it does it. I personally don't think this is a skin problem nor a graphics problem on Riot's hands.

No, I've always seen it like that too. It IS easier to see on SR, but it is still is way harder than it should be.

Well I can see all skillshots pretty clearly, except this one. Idk, how would it look like on Summoner's Rift, I don't play on that map.

It seems Riot continues to have some sort "pay2win" properties in some skins.

edit: I am not saying that they are doing it intentionally but you can't deny that some of these bugs give power for money.

Worre2 votes

I know many people misinterpret my statement. This isn't the first time that skins have made the champions stronger. Like iBlitzcrank's Q had more range, PFE had slightly more range and now this. This is why I said "pay2win" (note the quotation marks) as these skins did give more power for money.

Wut, they would have to manually change the hitbox for that to happen. This is just stupid.

Worre4 votes

Sounds stupid but it's true that those skins had bugs like that. If you think that just can't happen, there's also the fact that Purple side Rumble had more damage than Blue side Rumble.

RoyaiChaos1 votes

But then it would be a bug, not an intentional change. They aren't purposely using skins to give buffs.

Worre1 votes

That's why I didn't say it was intentional and had quote marks around "pay2win"

CYNISL1 votes

Yes it is known fact on the wiki and many youtube videos that EZ PFE skin, Blitz and other champions get slight dmg/range/hitbox buffs with certain skins. I believe Riot fixed most of them, but the animation for some of them makes it look like you might dodge it but in fact quite a few of these skins' hit-boxes are larger then the animations.( I've had this be true when throwing nid spears with various skins including Headhunter, good for me, bad for them)

you should have posted this under "report a bug" not gameplay&balance so Riot knows about this and fixes it.

Kalarepa4 votes

Well I was going to, but technically it isn't a bug.

SecretAgentHulk7 votes

I'd file a bug. Lack of visibility on this scale surely cannot be intentional.

Nah, Riot basically ignores that section.

I sometimes have this problem with Lux and her bubble, can see the ring when it lands but can't see it in flight, and Im not even playing on low.

I sometimes have this problem with Lux and her bubble, can see the ring when it lands but can't see it in flight, and Im not even playing on low.

this is why people cried about steel legion lux tbh, somehow riot managed to make particle effects that bug on some peoples pc's but not others.

I and all my friends never had any problems seeing her spells :/ Then we saw screenshots from people who had the issue and just... wow...

That is nothing. You should see Lux's skillshots, which are completely invisible on low settings. But that spear was still close to invisible, I hope Riot changes it.

Harder to see than on high maybe, but I've never not been able to see them clearly even when playing on a craptop on low settings with sub 30fps. Blame riot for somehow causing PC specific issues with FREAKING PARTICLE EFFECTS, something I have NEVER seen to this extent of things actually becoming invisible etc before.

Actually I did find it in the first picture...only took me long enough for nid to land 3 of them but can I has a cookie?

Syruess Cole3 votes

I think this might just be you. but just to be safe i would bring it to riots attention cause i own that skin and before i got my new computer i did play on the lower settings and my spear was still very clearly visible

Steelflame3 votes

Not something specific to the skin. As it turns out, just about all skillshots can do it. Just nid spears are the most "visible" of said skillshots due to their impact in a game. I think nid breaks them the most due to how she, as a champion, acts, sitting right at the edge of the FoW spamming them for a hit, and that is the condition that breaks skill shots in general most often.

i saw it in like 1 second

NinjaToad992 votes

Yeah but you knew it was there and was looking for it. If this was in-game you probably wouldn't have seen it.

Does anyone else think it's because he is playing Teemo

Frayace1 votes

Wow, I barely even noticed it even after you pointed it out.

gubigubi1 votes

Can confirm this happens on high detail as well. Sometimes for me her spear totally isn't there at all and all that is visible is the red particles that would normally be around the spear.

TeemoHunter13371 votes

if it hits for 50 pct of ur hp then u are really behind like 5 lvls or the nidalee is like 20-0-0 with 3 a bove items than u.

i play nidalee and even on adcs my spears hit only 25 pct of their hp (and im not behind)

CYNISL1 votes

I guess this is where one should also mention the fact that on medium/low settings Nidalee's throwing spears from a bush have invisible spears, on an unrelated champion, Akali can R from the bush and is invisible until she reaches the target.

Tentacle Love1 votes

I actually saw it before you pointed it out, but thought, "no, that can't possibly be it" and went looking around the rest of the teamfight for anything even close to a spear.

that is pretty crazy. Hopefully they fix it.

I almost ever see nidas spears in another way, than this. Thats why I ban her alway. Rito knows about it a long time, but nida is cute, so better not make spears visible. No one would play Ritos kitty anymore :( Not good.

SwiftKitten881 votes

i play nidalee and i saw it immediately. BUT that only becuase i saw where nidalee was and i saw where her targets where and i looked between them. (because as nidalee i constantly need to find a straight uninterrupted line to throw spears in.)

i have also seen this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyckncMUVgM

which lead me to belive this issue is only from nidalee spears throw from fog of war. (which would explain as i always mid nidalee i never see it myself or ever have opponents complain about it) the BIGGER issue i have is this next Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7a836M88Pk

which im not even sure its real but if it is its a HUGE BUG

and i don't even think the caster realized he got hit by a spear when the nidalee was on screen IN COUGAR FORM the entire time the spear was being thrown

because while i personally believe nid is 100% balanced, and i believe the trap nerf should be reverted (or rather the 150 damage cap vs monsters lowered to 50 vs monsters and the 10% damage reverted). and i EVEN believe that if nidalee throws a spear at your FROM FOG OF WAR your PROBABALY not going to be able to dodge it in time REGARDLESS if it invisible or not, so if this ONLY happens from fog or war. (as seen in the first video)i don't see how seeing the spear is going to change the fact that there isn't enough human reaction time to dodge it unless it had to travel max range

HOWEVER. even as a nidalee main an going to call bull**** on getting hit by an invisible spear with vision of nidalee when the spear was thrown WHILE SHE IS IN COUGAR FORM.

**THAT **IS SOME FRICKEN BS

im not sure it it was lag or what not but for all you non nidalee players.. nidalee cant throw spears in cat form. and to change from cat from to human form, throw a spear and back to cat from takes about 2-3 second becuase of the cooldown between changing forms.

as a nid player i dont think that nidalee could have thrown that spear from the bush and swapped to cougar from to appear on screen for that long before the spear hit. but thats the only fesiable explaination i have for that video. which i agree is bs.

if i see a nidalee running at me in cat form i dont expect to get hit by a spear regardless of whether or not the spear is invisble.

I've seen that happening not only with headhunter, but with every skin. Nidalee is really op and everyone is playing her so it's really annoying that bugg happening every game. When you're in a team with a Nidalee you can see them but when she's on the enemy team you can barely see it. I'll post a print of a game i was against a nidalee and another one of me as Nidalee. Btw, this is on very high settings with vsync and everything.

Since i don't want to show any names i cuted a lot of the screen and placed black boxes on the names.
