Work In Progress

This was inspired by Varus' Quality of Life change suggestion.
Please add your suggestions in the comments and I will add it to the main body of this thread if appropriate.

Remember quality of life changes are about updating old mechanics, ability indicators, and improve clarity for players.


###Varus Varus

  1. #####Ability Indicator
    Current Q indicator is unclear for players for how it is to be used and it's range.
    #####Solution
    Make Varus' Q indicator similar to Xerath's Q indicator
    Example

###Karma Karma

  1. #####Ability Indicator
    Karma's Q and RQ ability have AoE that is not represented
    ####Solution
    Make the indicator a line + an AoE shape to indicate it's size. Similar to Diana's Q or Frost Queen's Claim active ability.

###Zyra Zyra

  1. #####Ability Visibility
    Zyra's Plants can become lost in the fray!
    #####Solution
    Give Zyra's plants a thicker outline, possibly only when multiple enemies are nearby.

###Caitlyn Caitlyn

  1. #####Ability Count Indicator Caitlyn's traps have a limited number that can be on the field of justice but they are hard to keep track of.
    #####Solution
    Add an indicator 0/3, 1/3, 2/3, 3/3, and an "x" on the mini map to show which trap will be lost when adding a new one. Similar to the current warding mechanic system.

###Jarvan JarvanIV

  1. #####Ability Range Indicator
    J4's Flag gives no indication of the size of it's aura.
    #####Solution
    Add an aura AoE indicator around the flag in play when hovering over the ability icon. Or, when the flag is placed a faint AoE indicator persists.
  2. #####On-hit Timer
    J4's passive procs are limited to the same target every 6 seconds without a clear indication of when that time as elapsed.
    ####Solution
    Add a countdown indicator similar to the one Yasuo has for E.

###Kog'Maw KogMaw

  1. #####Ability Range Indicator Currently Kog'Maw can increase his range by activating an ability, no increased range is shown when hovering over the ability.
    #####Solution
    When player hovers over the ability icon, Kog's potential additional range is displayed.

###Lulu Lulu

  1. #####Ability Range Indicator There is no way to know when you are reaching the maximum range for Help, Pix!
    #####Solution
    When Pix! is in play add an indicator similar to Orianna's for her ball.

###Cass Cassiopeia

  1. #####Ability Visibility Units that are poisoned become lost making it difficult to accurately follow up with Twin Fang.
    #####Solution
    When an enemy champion is poisoned they turn a shade green, similar to Rengar's ult.

###Diana Diana

  1. #####Ability Count Indicator Diana's passive gives her an AoE attack every 3 attacks, if no attack is made the build up decays all without a timer.
    #####Solution
    Add a charge up count to the passive icon and add a countdown timer as well so players know when their next attack will be AoE and when it won't.

###Nautilus Nautilus

  1. #####On-hit Timer
    Nautilus' passive procs are limited to the same target every 12 seconds without a clear indication of when that time as elapsed.
    #####Solution
    Add a countdown indicator similar to the one Yasuo has for E.

###Udyr Udyr

  1. #####On-hit Timer
    Udyr's bear stance stuns are limited to the same target every 6 seconds without a clear indication of when that time as elapsed.
    #####Solution
    Add a countdown indicator similar to the one Yasuo has for E.

###Lissandra Lissandra

  1. #####Ability Indicator
    Lissandra's Q splits apart damaging a wider area of units than the indicator lets on and is unclear. This makes learning Lissandra a bit more difficult than it need be.
    #####Solution
    Modify Lissandra's Q indicator or add details to the tool tip to explain how this ability works.

Zyra Outline of Zyra plants so they are not lost in the midst of a minion wave or teamfight.

Caitlyn Numbering of traps, similar to current ward numbering. (When you hover over a ward you current wards are shown on minimap as numbered so you can tell which one will be replaced)

JarvanIV Show range of the flag's (E) AS aura

KogMaw Show increased range when mousing over W

Lulu Orianna style indicator of where Pix is

Cassiopeia More visibility (outline?) of poisoned targets to prevent bad E's

Mostly visual stuff right now.....I might remember more

Found this - I think it might belong here.

Btw what does QoL shorcut stand for?

Would this be easier to read if it was organized by QoL category change?
