@Meddler: Projectile Speeds on Different Champions

Yhosr·Apr 14, 2015·1 votes·325 views

When I was playing the new Teemo Skin(I'm sorry, shoot me!) yesterday, I ended up fighting a Caitlyn and got to sit back and watch the difference in her projectiles and my projectiles. Perhaps it's only my imagination, but it seemed to me that her projectiles went muuuuch much much faster than my own. Not complaining, but I was wondering if there was any serious choices that went in to deciding how quickly any given champion's attacks travel. I'm sure it has some connection to their choice of weapon thematically, but I think it's good information to have.

They probably do consider how animation speed will effect balance, and they've used it to buff champions before.

Not long after Rengar was reworked, they buffed his Q's animation speed because it seemed pretty slow, and it could either get outspeeded or he could accidentally not cast it while trying to attack move. More recently, they buffed Katarina's attack hit timer - That is, her auto attacks hit sooner in the animation, to help early CSing.

I'd say it definitely comes into play.
