Riot - Please Re-work Point-Click Ults (Malz/Vi/WW)

Sweet Fean··2 votes·1,096 views

I understand that point-click ults don't automatically make a champion "OP." This change is not just about making a champion balanced.

Rather, the overall enjoyment of LoL increases when there are not point-click ultimates like Malz/Vi/Warwick. If you reworked them into a skillshot, it would increase even the overall satisfaction of the person playing those champions, e.g. "Yes! I landed it!" Perhaps more importantly, it will decrease the tilt and frustration of people who "automatically die" because they had no counter-play to those ultimates.

Compare a player who dies to an ahri charm versus malzahar ult. Even if they have the champions same win rate, someone who dies to an ahri charm-combo is like "Damn, I got outplayed, I should have played that better." Versus: "Wtf, Malz flash ulted me and their jungler destroyed me when I couldn't move."

If taking away the point-click aspect feels like a big nerf to the champions, you can compensae by adding more dmg to the ability perhaps, so that it's more rewarding to landing the skill shot. Even if the skillshot indicator for these champions is very large and easy to land, at least would help.

Possible solutions: Warwick: Same ult, be he has to be 75% closer to cast the ability and he has x2 movement speed when close to enemy champ to balance the nerf. .

There's a variety of ways to rework the others, for example, having a cast indicator the size of Xerath W or Brand W.

But then champions who have a lot of mobility would immediately get a buff from this. Point and click is needed to counter those champions not to mention that the suppression can be cleared through silver sash.

Quick silver sash counters malz ult and ww ult.

But only ADC's build that item. What about mid laners? And People don't build QSS until 3rd or 4th item.
