Ability "buffering"

Is really lame and decreases the amount of skill required to play this game. It is also unfair for many champions, such as anyone who is primarily an auto attacker. Ability buffering is basically saying "i want the game to play itself for me"

This concept quite literally REMOVES the possibility of an outplay by actually taking away the possibility for one to happen. Buffering casts the ability AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, thus making it impossible to dodge or react in time. What about that requires skill?

input buffering decreases the impact of latency.

someone with 8 ms ping doesnt get an additional advantage over someone with 60 ms ping. without ability buffering, latency would affect every single input, which would stack up to a significant advantage for people with a faster internet connection. (maybe because they just happen to live in closer proximity to the server site). with input buffering, latency only affects the initial imput and has much less effect on the gameplay.

League is not a skill game though. Riot continues to nerf champ's mechanical skills through rework and nerfs.

I'm curious to know what you think input buffering in LoL actually is.

Ability buffering combos was put in to make combos more consistant.

Obviously you've never dealt with having to try and Headbutt/Pulverize with Alistar and knocking the enemy to safety because you lagged.
