A small camera zoom out for Vel Koz ult, quality of life

Hexs Fortune··225 votes·3,676 views

The beam extends beyond the camera at certain angles and I find myself having to manipulate the camera while also aiming the ult.

Just a small camera zoom out during the ult would be great for usability

I'd like this. Do a Jhin type deal to it. Would be nice.

They gave the mechanic to Xerath as well because he needed it. I really think it would also be reasonable to get this for Velkoz

Eye'll keep my fingers crossed.

Impossible.

He has no depth perception. He can't tell distance anyway.

I've been playing Vel for a while, and I am perfectly fine with the way his ultimate works. I don't play with a locked in camera so I don't exactly need velkoz in my view in order to be efficient with it.

So I guess this doesn't apply to you.

It does, though, because if we end up using a watered-down version of Jhin's cam zoom, it's going to take cam control away and snap it back to the champion. So whatever change is going to HAVE to be a toggle-option in Controls for those of us who are used to using his ult as is.

Xerath's doesn't do that.

you can still move camera with Xerath's Zoom out, and i'm pretty sure it doesn't snap back

just let people zoom the map out more in general. it's way too tight the way it is..

Are sure its not something else that is too tight ;)

i would like that too, just a little bit and it would be so much better, atleast i think so...

As ex varus otp... PLEASE. Q is a fair bit bigger than the actual screen.

Maybe I just used to playing wow on max camera distance that I prefer being a pixel on my screen.

I hate Vel'Koz, but I agree with this. Some modernization would be nice (though make my laning against him harder).

Same for lux Kappa

mikemcparty1 votes

Lux's ult is essentially the same as jinx's. You fire it and can't change its direction. Comparing vel'koz ult to lux makes no sense.

Joes1 votes

Absolutely i agree 100%

Vanic9981 votes

Yes I completely agree. Also riot should deactivate the mini map while Vel'Koz using his ultimate so the ultimate doesn't accidentally aim the wrong way.

Shut off casting on minimap.

Vanic9981 votes

You can do that? How do you do that?

Automated Riven1 votes

hit esc when in game, go to interface. About halfway down it says "allow minimap movement" and deselect it. I am gonna test it really quick with vel ult to ensure that it works properly.

(edit) I checked and I couldnt get it to cast the ult the wrong way. But i didnt have a problem with casting it even while I was clicking on the minimap. it always followed my curser.

That's not quality of life, that's a buff.

mikemcparty1 votes

But jhin and xerath can have the same exact thing?

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

They have to recast their ults to do anything, vel has a persistent one. They have the zoom to be more accurate with their incredible range, vel's doesn't have as much range and his laser is persistent and doesn't have much warning

mikemcparty1 votes

So what is your point? They have to recast their ults, so they get a zoomed out camera? All op is asking for is that the the camera be zoomed out in order for the whole range of the laser to be in range. That isn't a buff.

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

When your camera zooms out your cursor moves. If it zooms out your vel koz ult accuracy will be greatly hampered because you get to reposition your cursor with the others and not with the persistent vel koz laser.

Thought that didn't need explaining

mikemcparty1 votes

Or you know, the cursor doesn't need to move and the screen could just zoom out for max range.

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

So it would have to zoom out with the midpoint being where your cursor is, which would look very awkward and probably make vel clunkier.

mikemcparty1 votes

Okay, so then have it zoom out before the ult is activated. Dude, this isn't an impossible thing to make happen.

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

No, it isn't

You're just incredibly easy to mess with

mikemcparty1 votes

Damn dude, you sure got me. I was under the assumption that you were an overweight, clunky, sad person who lived in your parents basement. Now that I know you were just messing with me, I still am under that assumption.

Faceroll Tactics1 votes

Projection - because something is observed or describes you, it's observed by or describes everyone.

An example is if you called someone overweight, clunky, or sad while you yourself are

mikemcparty1 votes

Nah man, that isn't how life works. When someone calls you fat and assumes that you are a sad person, it doesn't imply that they are. I am actually the opposite of most of those. Occasionally, I'm sad. Like when you hurt my feelings earlier. :(
Good one though. Here's a gold star for your mom to put on the fridge for you.

Nice fallacy there, buddy.

mikemcparty1 votes

Instead of just calling something a fallacy, explain why and have a counter argument.
