Nimbus Cloak Change: Speed after ult on self-root

iiGazeii··1 votes·1,007 views

Nimbus Cloak is a cool concept, but it misses the mark on many champions simply because their ultimate locks them in place, wasting at least a portion, if not all, of Nimbus Cloak's movement speed.

I think it would be a great change to make it so that Nimbus Cloak takes place after any self-imposed movement restriction due to your ult, instead of immediately on-cast. This would allow a great many more champions to take advantage of the rune and at least consider it as part of their rune page.

like which champions? The ones I can think of are Jhin, Miss Fortune, Fiddlesticks, and Xerath, and they only get the buff after channels (so when they're done ulting)

Nimbus cloak applies after a 1.5-second delay. It isn't instant. Which means Cait, Eve, Ez, Hec, Lux, Mao, Zed, and some of the others don't have any of the move speed wasted. Most of those champions wouldn't want to take it even if it was instant or perfectly delayed for them anyway
