Zoom out during Vel'Koz's ultimate.

Vanic998··127 votes·3,921 views

Riot can you make the screen zoom out when using Vel'Koz's ultimate? Vel'Koz's ultimate, Life Form Dinsintegration Ray, has 1550 range and it's hard to see the end of it. It lowers the accuracy of max range ults. Also riot can you remove the mini map during Vel'Koz's ultimate so players don't accidentally target a spot on the map instead of the bottom right corner? Who uses the mini map for Vel'Koz's ultimate anyway?

You can just move the screen during Vel's ult though? The actual size of his ult fits perfectly onto a screen.

Some people play with the camera locked

I play with locked camera, only because for me its hard af to move camera while doing sht. EVERY TIME I try my courser ends up drifting off to the enemy base. I also don't know how to move camera down, I can move it up, left ,right with courser but down never works for some reason. Is there a way u can move it down or drag screen instead??

You move the cursor to the bottom of the screen

Big Black Croc1 votes

I do that but it doesn't do anything like I said.the screen dosent move.

Vanic99825 votes

Yes you can move the screen but in crucial moments, my cursor isn't always at the edge of screen when I ultimate. For me to move the screen my cursor would have to already be at the edge of my screen. Moving my screen while moving my ultimate would make things more complicated than they have to be. I think zooming out, at least just a little bit, would help a lot.

isn't your screen always aimed at the enemy you want to kill anyways? at least that's how it works for me.

And if they move out of your vision range, moving the camera while the laser follows and stopping it without jittering is not easy.

nice table2 votes

its not like your lazer would be in range at that point anyways

rtbf2256182413 votes

It follows the cursor regardless so it can lose damage.

Actually I find that I net a pretty reasonable number of kills on people who've escaped my vision range but didn't quite escape my ult range in time; I suspect the ult reaches just a little farther than vel's natural sight radius

rtbf2256182412 votes

Okay but i've missed a lot of my targets when they go out of vision range and i can't follow with my mouse cuz it's either a locked camera or it moves completely out of place as i move it on the edge of the screen without pushing it too far.

It would just be a nice QoL feature if they zoomed it out a bit.

That's the problem right there. Don't use your cursor to move the screen. Invest in a good macro keyboard and you can use your left thumb instead on a d-pad or analogue stick to move the screen. I use this. They're sold by Razor now instead of Belkin. But they've been around since before WoW or LoL was even a thing.

$10 more than a standard video game. And you're going to be using this for decades to come. Been using my Belkin since 2005. People working part-time minimum wage spend more than this on cigarettes.

Tell me, how much did your mechanical keyboard cost you? Or how much more is this than a standard $60 video game?

Don't listen to them dude. Kids have to wait for Christmas for this stuff from their parents and are jealous they can't have it. Nice keyboard.

It is the blackwidow chroma lol. It was CAD, so the exchange rate bumped the price up.

I use a laptop and a mouse that my dad didnt use anymore. I dont have money for a mechanical keyboard or for a special mouse. In fact i havent played league in 2 weeks because my laptop hasnt been working and i dont have the money to fix it

Cavesloth2 votes

I have a potato comp and i'm still running XP, why do you think I play league? Cause its one the few competitive games that I can run, so why on earth would I have 70 bucks to blow on a damn mouse.

Cavesloth2 votes

Oh for the grossly generalizing idiot about minimum wage, I don't smoke, don't drink or have any other expensive vices.

I remember that. This was the first one am I correct?

What's so bad about a zoom-out? It's not a one-shot like Lux or Caitlyn or Ashe, so it could serve for a bit of QoL.

Alleo4 votes

I'm a Vel'Koz main and used to be a Vel'Koz one trick mid and I've never had any issues with his ult. I just think zoom would cause more harm than good because his ult would be 1/3 finished by the time it got to the full zoom out.

Weathered2 votes

I may be completely off, but I remember testing having been done on this near when Jhin came out, and there was some statement about how it didn't really work well.

Vanic9988 votes

You're right. I remember that too. Players wanted Xerath's ultimate to zoom out too but riot said that zooming out that far would cause lag. Vel'Koz's ultimate however has less range than Jhin and Xerath so I don't think it should be a problem.

Predàtor11 votes

Xeraths ult does zoom out tho

Vanic9981 votes

Did they make an update? I recall players asking for it to zoom out when Jhin was released.

Predàtor4 votes

yea a long time ago, like a patch or so after Jhin was released, his camera mechanics were applied to Xerath

What riot needs to do is get rid of the annoying view angle. You have reduced vision in the left and bottom sides of the screen which is givin to the top and right side of the screen.

This is why I've always found this game stupid. The screen intentionally favors the blue team because the red team doesn't even have a 180 degree version. There is no camera adjustments other than offsetting the screen which doesn't do a whole lot and only serves to blind you further just to get a little extra left bot vision.

Alevity Xiaku1 votes

That would suck for midlane where you need to be aware of the top and bottom of the screen.

Alleo2 votes

It's really not that bad.

Pew Pew Lasers1 votes

A 180 cam for the red side would not negatively affect your bottom view, it would improve it by giving you the same forward stretch view towards to blue side as the blue currently has towards the red side.

ToolooT1 votes

yes Rito. Do it like the Xerath/Jhin ults. Do this and give him a new skin that's badass.

Vanic9981 votes

You read my mind! I also want a new skin for Vel'Koz. Preferably an ultimate skin as a reward for Vel'Koz being riots most balanced champion.

Mig891 votes

Most balanced?

Vanic9982 votes

Exactly. Vel'Koz's winrate has never exceeded 55% and his play rate never exceeded 5%.
