A Clear Blow Struck Against Clarity, By Riot Themselves No Less

Okay. Clarity is one of your design goals. That's great, and things like the Kha'Zix range indicator are a great help.

So, why? What possessed you to, for the first time in 5 years, give a champion ability the same name as another champion ability?

Yes, Graves and TF are friends. That's cool. But it's just confusing to have Graves's new passive and Twisted Fate's ultimate both called Destiny. Is there a plan to change TF's ult name?

I guess they really should avoid that, but I don't think I have ever heard a passive refereed to by its name. If someone is talking about grave's passive they usually say "grave's passive".

I have a hard time believing anyone will actually be confused by this.

Fun Fact: His shotgun is named "Destiny".

His passive isn't really going to be mentioned a lot. It's a very passive passive, if that makes sense. To give this more clarity, think about Kalista's passive. Have you ever heard anyone ever say its name? Do you even know its name?

I do, but that's because I looked it up.

His shotgun is named Destiny. And its not that big of a deal. Its not like we get Janna's ability and the item mixed up. How many conversations will you have in your life where you'll get it mixed up? That's right! Probably none.
