Every 3 hit proc has a visual stack indicator except for Brand's

Velkoz has a visual indicator on his targets of how many stacks they have of his passive. Talon just got one. Ekko Kennen Kindred TahmKench Darius Braum Varus Twitch Vi all have some way to look at a target and see at a glance how many times they've been struck, so they can judge when their 3 hit proc is going to happen.

Edit: And Ivern 's Daisy. And Gnar .

During the mage update, Brand joined the elite ranks of champions with a 3 hit proc passive, but has no visual indicator, even though his proc is extremely important to his play, both in lane and during teamfights. We can only see if a target is burning or not, we have no indication of how many stacks of burning they have.

I have included an extremely detailed example of how this may look, for Riot's viewing pleasure.

I've played against Brand enough to be able to differentiate what each stack looks like personally. If the flame is a lighter orange, it is the first stack. If it's darker orange, borderline red, then it is the second stack. It should be obvious when they reach the third stack.

A bit off topic but darius's passive takes five stacks :p the rest take three but as a darius main it bothered me that he was included with lesser champions [slayer-jinx-wink]

you do look visually different with his stacks, it is however hard to notice.

But you used the same picture. Without even looking at the second one, first stack of his passive is just a minor immolation effect while the second one is more engulfed. The third stack is already marked by a large circle that shows the fuse (a timer) an a range of the explosion.

Brand's passive covers the target in flames, 1 stack is a sofdt glow and 2 stacks looks more covered in flames

Brand has a 3 stack passive? I just thought that shit was random or linked to one of his spells.

a few rules to help you deal with brand. If an ability just did it's combo power, then his next ability is going to go boom. so if pillar of flame just did a fuckload of damage, if the instant one just hit multiple targets, or if the skillshot stunned you, you are gonna go boom.

He doesn't have it because he kinda doesn't need it. it is already very clear.

Brand has a three-hit modifier?

You forgot the 5 hit passive Darius

he does have a 2nd stack indicator, your character turns darker, albeit its a very slight change its there, but should be more visible imo

I can agree with this, especially since it would definitely help me to know who to target during team fights.

Just want to say that "proc" means programmed random occurrence, and 3 hit passives are not random. A proc would be getting a crit with less than 100% crit chance.

If they're stunned that's already two abilities. It's pretty obvious bud, and when you're on fire and haven't been stunned then you're either on the first stack or have been hit by a giant ass fire eruption which you can see.

Does Diana have any indicator now?

MS Paint is strong with this one. No seriously, yeah, lack of that indicator of Brand irritates me. Would love it.

Vayne ?

Out of subject, it would be nice to have an indicator for Diana Jax both passive .
