Vel'koz ult camera zoom

Moody LLC·May 4, 2016·3 votes·810 views

Penny for your thoughts? Should Vel'koz ult zoom the camera out a bit (similar to Xerath or Jhin ult) to make aiming it at the tippy-tip feel better?

I would never dream of playing locked screen, but repositioning my screen with the mouse whilst aiming a Vel'koz ult isn't feasible. And I can only imagine it being neigh impossible for locked screen players to aim properly. Even different keybinds to move the camera would be abrupt thus messing up the aim of the ult.

What say you? Yay or nay?

Eh, I don't think he really needs it. The range on his ult is much shorter than Jhin's or Xerath's. It should pretty much always be on screen unlike those two.

in blue side i feel it's fine, but in red side it feels eztremely awful because the HUD blocks a large portion of the screen, and the mini map blocks a large area too and if the cursor moves on top of the mini map it will fuck up the aiming(for some reason rito decided to make vel's ult able to aim on mini map like all the globals, except IT IS NOT A GLOBAL).

he should have passive on ult that gives him 100% penetration on Ahri

I believe if you deconstruct her first very close anatomical research can be performed.

I like the idea but the problem would be that velkoz ult always goes towards your mouse. if your screen zooms out then your cursor would be in a different spot and cause velkoz to miss his ult.

the zoom out motion could be centered on the mouse location thus not affecting the aim of the ult.

YES! I was just writing a post about this then I saw this!

I would really like to be able to "zoom out" (like Xerath just got) when I use my ultimate so that I can better direct my beam to people who are running away, side stepping, and out of my line of sight. Although Vel'koz's ult isn't the same range as Xeraths ult, in certain situations I find it hard to keep up with a target running away because of the** camera** and the speed at which I can move the beam( I am not referring to the speed as problem). Im not saying the zoom out has to be to the extent that Xerath's ult is but somewhat of a better view so I can effectively keep up with my enemies running away.

As a Vel main I do believe he needs it... It is not even actually a "buff" to make him stronger.. just clarity. I have run into this problem recently at least 5+ times now and it is frustrating.
