[ARAM] Mark needs tinkering

I've silently hated how they're classified for awhile now, and I feel like since this wasn't just some bug that was already in the works to be patched this needs to be said.

It should not be classified as a spell, and should be a projectile!

Now there are a few sides to this argument:

  1. "They're not spells wtf" You're right and wrong. Congratulations. They are spells according to Luden's, Liandries, BV and Rylies, but they are not spells according to Black Shield and Spell Shield;;; It procs Luden's Echo's passive, Liandries Torment's burn, and Rylies slow aswell as removing the Banshee's Veil effect, but cannot be blocked by Morgana/Sivir E.
  2. "Summoner SPELL" Fine, it's a spell. Why does Ignite not proc these items? Why can you cast Cleanse while silenced, but not any other spell?
  3. "Stop being shit and just dodge it" Tell that to all of your teammates. It's easier said than done!
  4. "Down with Dynamic Queue!" Wrong thread dude.

The only way to counter getting engaged on every 40 seconds is by hoping your teammates are capable of dodging a slow-moving projecti-- oh that's right, they cannot be blocked by Braum's E, Yasuo's windwall, etc, so it's not a projectile. This means the only counterplay to snowballs is physically dodging every snowball. (At the worst) you'll be dodging a snowball every 8 seconds, don't mess it up!

"I still disagree, they're spells! Burn in bronze." Fine, have it your way.

Yeah, the sudden, unannounced change a while back to have Mark apply spell effects was a little strange. Morg shield not blocking it is expected, since it's not magic damage, but Sivir shield not interacting with it too now is unusual.

it needs more visibility, that is all.
