Raptor smite doesn't activate when Eve is in stealth

Visigoth··3 votes·687 views

Was just playing her, and the most notable thing (other than wonky ass building) was that the vision smite from raptors only went off if I was already out of stealth. Why? This meant I had to W where ever a ward might be and hope that I didn't just unstealth for nothing.

Pretty silly if you ask me, I should be able to be in stealth and still be notified that a ward is nearby.

It triggers on wards SEEING you.

Which...if they haven't, why do you give a shit they're there?

Except they don't trigger on pinks, which see Evelynn. Also, because I'm not the only person on the team and the others don't have perma stealth

Yes they trigger on pinks.. Raptor buff is absolutely phenomenal on Eve, you can go right past green wards and only have the buff trigger when there is a pink that sees you (so you have true confidence that you aren't being spotted, which I guess is true for everyone, but at least it doesn't pop 10 steps away from the raptor camp)

but yeah as a general rule when I get raptor idc if there is a green ward wherever... it's not used for clearing wards, it's used to detect if you have been spotted while doing something. If you want to clear wards, buy an upgraded red, or like you said just use w..

What Aether said, I'm not sure if Riot thought this through, but yeah, Raptor alerts you when a ward spots you.

raptor lets you know when you can be seen by a ward.

^ the buff literally says that it shows when you have been spotted. You're invis.. you haven't been spotted. lol
