Sylus HUD Quality of Life

Elite4Runner··2 votes·1,468 views

Add the enemy team icons to his HUD like with Kindred and Rengar, but when the player moves their mouse over the icons it displays that champion's ultimate tooltip with Sylas's scaling, and cooldown timer for when he can steal it again. The icons have no other functional use. Sylas must still click directly on the enemy champion within range in order to obtain their ultimate.

Posted this the other day and got a lot of views but very little response.

It's a simple idea that would significantly improve the quality of gameplay for players who don't happen to know the details of every single champion in the game. Keep in mind that champion abilities change fairly often and not everyone keeps track of these changes.

If for some reason you think it is a bad idea please tell me why, but if you think it is a good idea please upvote so this suggestion can get some exposure and potentially implemented into the game.

Thank you.

explain it more? it sounds like how hunter mechanics works. but it would explain what each champions ults does. or you want to ping the enemy ultimate timer how long till you can steal it again?

I don't think they should have any mechanical function at all. Rengar's icons don't have a mechanical fucntion, they are purely informative, colored icons show targets who have not been taken down, and grey scale for targets that have. (Maybe clicking on the icon will ping the timer in chat?)

Originally I wasn't even including the cooldown in this suggestion, but I don't really see a reason it couldn't also be included. Even if it is just a 'pie indicator' like how Kindred's icons show the cooldown for when she can mark a target again. It would be useful.

The more important thing I am looking for here is the tooltip.

In the same way that a player can move their cursor over their own abilities, moving their cursor over the respective enemy champion icons would show the tooltip for that champion's ultimate with Sylas's scaling numbers.

agree, its annoying to steal ultimates of champion you dont play or know their exact scalings only to find out its a bad ultimate for you (or in my case take 1 min to read it after stealing) at least this will allow you to see the stats and effect of each enemy ultimate at the start of the game without wasting much time.

(p.s : i still see a lot of sylas stealing miss fortune ultimate only to realize it deal no real damage because of the low ap scaling)
