Empowered auto attacks, Intent vs Execution, small issues that could use fixing
I have a very small champion pool (about 9, only 3 of which i regularly play) so i can only discuss this issue on the champions i play.
and all of these are small issues with simple fixes, and occur infrequently. and TECHNICALLY arn't bugs AND they have workaround. but many times.. prevent you from getting a kill and get your killed instead.
however. despite the fact that the occur infrequently. i still think the need to be address.
and the issue is this.. Empowered auto attacks.
MOST of the time i see this issue it is on
's takedown.
for those who dont know.. takedown is NOT a spell it is an empowered auto.
however the issue is targeting
becuase for nidalee to pounce in she needs to land a spear... and AFTER she lands said spear.. she can use a TARGETED (empowered) pounce to "pounce" directly to her target. upon landing she uses swipe and then takedown.
now the the VAST majority of the case the only target takedown can kit... is the enemy champion. however if nidalee happened to land in a minion wave or next to a turret Takedown has other targets it can choose from that are in range. and therefore even if the enemy champion i in range of takedown.. it is POSSIBLE to hit another target with it.
so how do we avoid this? well that would be to click directly on the target to attack it. and that DOES work. except the REASON why takedown missed in the first place was because.. they are in the middle of multiple targets. well while they may be doable for higher elo players with insane click accuracy. it is VERY hard to do for some player, certainly for me. and the fact that i rarely need to choose the target again because this rare happens further compound the issue of me not bothering to try.
now nidalee isn't the only champ with an empowered auto
i also play
and again while it is RARE to have pulled a and enemy champ toward yo and still have a minion in range to auto... it STILL can happen.. and i always feel REALLY stupid when i pull a target and and knock up the minion right next to them..
so how to we fix this?
well we can make empowered auto attacks automatically target champions within range. but for other champs that can cause issues. (we wouldn't want
to use his passive empowered randomly on a champion when he is trying to damage a tower just because it is in range)
and while for nNdalee you can simply solve this by making take-down prioritize hunted targets in range unless you click DIRECTLY on another target, that doesn't solve it for other champion.
So i have a question for the community.
> What other champions does this effect? is this wide spread on many champions? or is this small enough to be fixed individually on a champion by champion basis?
Granted there is the possibly that there is some in-game command or function that fixes this that i am not aware of and am not using. and if so please tell me about it. But as for as i know... that isn't the case.
