When will red buff's description be updated?
Hi, I'm RomaRoma. I normally post in the EUW forums, but this is an important issue and needs Riot attention, so it is obvious to put it in NA forums because more red activity, but I digress.
In patch 4.20 red buff got significant changes. The damage was weakened early game but increased late game, the slow was reduced but there became a new passive. It grants health regen. "Crest of Cinders now heals its buffed target by +1% of their maximum health per 5 seconds." But when you hover over red buff if you have it, it still uses the same, boring description showing how it slows and deals damage over time but NOT the bonus health regen. I personally tested it in game by looking at my stats (pressing C) before and after red buff and it showed a significant improvement, so it is quite obviously in the game.
I feel it needs to be updated due to lack of knowledge. People might realise that even as a champion like Vladimir who is a caster with a lot less auto attacks than Yasuo for example, that the red buff he got from killing the enemy jungler is a lot more useful than he thinks. Of course, a lot of people who played before 4.20 will know that it gives bonus HP regen, but for any new players who don't look at it on the wiki page, they have no way of knowing it.
Thanks for reading this, I hope the in-game description of the Crest of Cinders gets changed soon to more accurately reflect itself.
Note: I wasn't really sure which topic to put this in. I decided gameplay and balance because in the end it effects the gameplay and balance of new players to the game. It won't affect me, but it could really matter to a level 7.
