Just like the ultimate on the Akali rework and the E ont eh Irelia rework, shouldn't there be a timer showng us how much time we have to use Kathus' ultimate when he dies?

If you called this a QoL update it would be one of the few times where it was really a QoL update. I see no reason why this shouldn't be implemented.

Seems reasonable.

passive lasts for 7 seconds, his ult takes 3 seconds to cast. You have a 4 second window.

well, with how his Q works, you only get about 2 or 3 casts and then you have to instantly do your ultimate or it doesn't work and that's against a stationary target

Hell yeah man, that's a good QoL update. Another good one would be to show your hp threshold when Urgot has his ult in you. A more obvious visual when rageblade is on 6 stacks. More obvious stormrazor visual. Kai'sa ult range marker when she has a stack on you, similar to Caitlyn's trap-headshot range indicator.

Idk just throwing ideas out there. I think hidden power goes completely against their design philosophy. I don't like being surprised by misleading or neglected-to-mention information. Especially on game changing abilities like ultimates or rageblade's passive.

I'd even say go as far as letting you know if you're isolated when Kha'zix is nearby. 1 unit outside the "isolated from teammate" range can be the difference in the whole game. In perspective, you have absolutely no way of knowing that it deals more damage when you're away from teammates unless you have read exactly how his abilities work; even then it's ambiguous on exactly how close you have to be.

Fairly sure there is some sort of hp indicator for Urgot- it's just subtle in your HP bar instead of a bite effect like say Cho'Gath.

There isn't one other then a circle around you when you're in ult range.

Which doesn't inform you what threshold you need to be in to die, it just tells you that you're basically dead. It would be nice to know in advance what the threshold is so you can plan around it better rather then flashing before he autos thinking you're safe.

You cannot cast the ult if you don't have enough time. It will not let you press the button/activate the ability if you have insufficient time

Edit 1: The button will light up, as soon as you don't have enough time, it goes dull (similar to when you get cc ed and can't activate anything)

hes asking for the timer lightup around the ability like akali ult/aatrox q to show exactly when it will not be available

I'd love this.

This is probably why the game requires no skill anymore, everyone wants an indicator for something, it used to be that you know the timing of an ability based on skill but now everything has an indicator

3TWarriorOct 11, 20181 votes

well, indicators only do so much. it's the damage and lack of viability in a lot of picks that makes things bad

TormentulaOct 11, 20181 votes

I mean its nice to know how many Q's you can throw before you can ult.

Not like you can rely on the timer since you can't see half seconds. This isn't like jungle camps where you can look at the time and predict exactly what time they pop up, this is an ability you only have a specific window to use and is easy to fuck up during that window.
