clearing defining "Skillshot" and "AOE Abilities"

a skillshot has no predetermined target, it can be evaded, the skill goes outward in whichever direction the champion released it in HOPES of landing it, not by knowing it will land (similar to how Ezreal's abilities are wildly Skillshots with a single targeted ability) , an AOE abilities in most cases take little precision to land in comparison, no direct target, a high area to work with rather than a linear ability (Nasus W for example) , laughably even, yet people say champions like ANNIE have skillshots, where she has 1 targeted ability, a shield, and 2 AOE abilities, no skillshots! pls people understand and even Rito clearly seperate these two because people are super confused apperently.

by this definition, annie's w and r ARE skillshots.

Also,there are so many spells inbetween those to, ryze's E is a targeted ability, yet AoE khazix's w is a skillshot, yet AoE brand's e with passive is AoE, yet targeted.

you cannot separate them with 1 definition, you need to evaluate them seperately.

There's linear skillshots and point skillshots.

Annie W is a cone shaped AoE point skillshot Annie R is a circular AoE point skillshot RekSai's Q is a linear AoE skillshot Ezreal Q is a linear skillshot
