Not everything has to be a skill shot. Sometimes consistency of an ability is good. I don't really want every champion to be Xerath, especially when unfun champs with hyper mobility like Yasuo/Camille/Riven exist.

High-Impact targeted abilities are retarded.

How does it feel when Pantheon presses W on you, presses E, then presses Q for your entire health bar?

How does it feel when Quinn flies at 9000 miles an hour to hard CC and instant kill?

Or when Veigar misses all his abilities, but it's okay because he pressed R for 3000 damage?

Champions like Elise have very moderate targeted abilities. Nobody thinks "bullshit" when they are killed by her (unless she's broken at the time)

You sound upset. Just take some time off from LoL, take a few breathes. It's a game. Not worth a heart attack.

Then you itemize for it or stay out of his range if you're ranged. You don't expect to run up to someone and try to kill them without doing anyhting back. There are different strategies for dealing with different champions, you just don't understand that yet.

Yet you hide behind a forum smurf so nobody can confirm that.

Less annoyed than I feel when Yasuo EQs for a targeted knockup and presses R for his targeted ultimate.

Also, far less annoyed than when Windwall is thrown in the opposite direction and still blocks an ability: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OuN3HNCf0c

How is EQ a targeted knockup when it is completely avoidable?

EndlessSorcerer2 votes

How is it avoidable?

His dash is targeted and the knockup applies to the unit he dashes to (and those around him).

GULAG 4 U2 votes

It has a fixed distance so you can get out of the radius.

Pathfinder Yasuo4 votes

No lmao.

Dashing towards him Not being in range for EQ Stunning him while he's dashing will prevent him from ulting QSS will remove the knockup and will make him unable to ult.

He gets instafucked by any melee carry or diver.

look at this outplay

Handy Sandy 2 votes

You didn't buy a item 3102 then, as an assassin you're supposed to be oneshotting veigar. You misplayed, someone as mobile as Talon shouldn't get stunned from Veigar. That was your fault so yes, you got outplayed I guess.

I'm dumb? If you have a item 3102 and he puts his stun around himself, wait until it goes down and then blow him up, or just walk through it which the spellshield will block and then blow him up.

you mean kinda like pressing W or E and disregarding skill shots?

Every Champ has a targeted ability. We usually refer to this as: Auto-Attack.

Chill fam. Champs with targeted abilities are not just played in lower elos...

Pathfinder Yasuo3 votes

Because they're uncounterable when they're ahead

freelo in solo queue regardless of elo

Evelynn Khazix Quinn Camille Hecarim Jayce Graves

there's 0 way to outplay these champs when behind in gold unless they're acting like retards, which doesn't happen if they're smart enough to get ahead in the first place in higher elo. They just stat-check and right click + target ability you to death.

The only way to beat them when they're ahead is to have a retarded targeted ability comp. My one game vs a masters Nidalee she was 18-0 by 10 minutes. Our comp was Sona Ryze Vi Vayne Irelia . Was fun chaining stupid shit together to win. Not fun for the Nidalee that gets perma stunned with no counterplay

That'll teach her not to play a skill-based champ.

Anyone is uncounterable when they are ahead. That's why it's called being ahead. They must first have the skill, mechanics, judgement, and on occasion luck to get ahead. It doesn't matter if a champion has 4 targeted abilities. They still have to know when and how to use those abilities to get ahead.

If pantheon is ahead and presses WQ to kill you then you are an idiot for either not having armor or not being with someone who does who can protect you.

Locking this thread since the OP only wants to harass players replying.

MavenSong2 votes

I mean if we are going into specifics also Yasuo E as well. (just listing one not listed above)

Not all targeted abilities are bad. True, some can be problematic but most are just fine.

SithesisLord2 votes

Because targeted abilities need to exist. I dunno why you even bothered to ask when they´re getting removed. Well, never.

They are a vital part to the balance of some champions, while skillshots are vital to the balance of other champions.

Also complaining about Zilean, Fiddleshits, Veigar, Teemo, Anivia, Malphite and Evelynn? In 2017? Really?

Pathfinder Yasuo3 votes

Evelynn 1 tricks are everywhere in high plat

there's 0 counterplay to her

hence her upcoming rework

SithesisLord3 votes

She isn´t getting rework because of lack of counterplay. She's being reworked for the same reason Galio and Urgot are and Warwick was.

They´re old.

Lmao Jayce eq is definitely a skillshot.

But hitting your main point, there is nothing wrong w/ targeted abilities, generally they trade damage or length of cc for that reliability.

And also, are you really trying to say that being snared by a ryze for 1 second (2 if he's delaying combo damage), is more frustrating than being blinked around by a leblanc or katarina and blown up?

Tbh you just sound salty.
