we dont even know if its cannon anymore considering it happend right before the lore retcon and the removal of the summoners and league

so we aren't sure if its canon

also in regards to the new mark icon i think its because if they did make it the winters claw icon the mark it will be hard to judge cause its too flat as opposed to tall and more readable for when it gets stacks

I believe that they stated that the Freljord stuff was still canon when they did the retcon announcement.

Azteryz1 votes

thats good but im pretty sure only 95% of the event will be cannon so they can add more stuff in it especially if the return of vestayans has anything to do with freljord at all

Aye! Frost bitc...ehm, witches FTW!

I'd pay a not inconsiderable sum for that icon... Signed up less than a month after the event had ended. Been crying ever since. :(

We tried. It really didn't read well ingame, so we settled for her flail

Aww, that sucks. It means something that you tried, though.

No luck in getting example screenshots? Not trying to be greedy, just genuinely curious. I imagine having it under the character would get in the way of a potential Braum passive as well, huh?

You can try photoshop it. :) I think the problem is that it's wide and would bring issues with clarity.

That sucks.

so where is the quality work in the maokai rework? cause all i see is everything is slower weaker and more useless than before

But it's still hammer not flail head.

Couldn't you have tested Winter's Claw mark on PBE with a bigger sample size rather than internal testing? Couldn't it have just been Handle->Handle->Axe Head->Axe Head, make the colours darker a bit.

I really feel this should've been testing on PBE server rather than internal testing. Edit: This would be a great time to get the voice of the community rather than just Rito peeps. This is also the perfect place to test it out.

I think the problem is the width. The Winters Claw mark would be wider than what we have now. If you keep in mind that they had to put it on the left or right side of the model (because Braum passive is on bottom and on top would be strange because of the health bar), then they just can't chose such a wide mark. It would block vision too much that way.

So they had to go for something more slim. Like the flail.

KoKoboto1 votes

They could've tested it being on the model or above the model and above the health bar. I'm just saying, at least give it a test on PBE with a huge sample size before you give us what we have now. Hopefully they can make the current mark look better at least.

But, that's not what her flail looks like....

Warlord Dienekes1 votes

So then why did you change it from the flail to what I think is either two hammers or axes?

This may sound dumb, but maybe it's a clarity thing with Braum's passive?

KoKoboto13 votes

That's not dumb at all. There is a chance of a clarity issue and that is most likely the reason why the passive is put to the right of champions rather than underneath. The Winter's Claw symbol and Braum passive mark don't look the same though so I see no reason to not use the Winter's Claw symbol as a mark.

GreenLore3 votes

This might actually be the case. Braums icon is rather broad,wheras Sejuanis is pretty slim,which was likely done to differentiate the 2.

Variks the Loyal2 votes

Agreed. Very cool suggestion.

Hige2 votes

Yes the current icon needs some changes, not only does it not represent the winter's claw thing but it also looks very clunky, a bit turned to a side and then the circle and, W applies 2 stacks but Q none? x_x it's very very confusing

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

E applies on autos, and I guess W counts as an auto attack.

Azteryz1 votes

its just melee autos and sej w

sej w is just an exception

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

But there are still some questions. Does Shyvana Q stack it twice? Does Gangplank Q stack it? Do Yoricks mistwalkers stack it? I need answers. ;__;

Azteryz1 votes

champion melee

so pretty shyvannas q will double proc

gp q wont

mistwalkers aren't champions so they wont

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Sure about these? Gangplank Q counts as melee AA for most purposes, for example it triggers the effect of item 3074. And as far as I know, the same counts for the mistwalkers. If I remember correctly, they used to work with the old version of warlords bloodlust.

Did someone test these interactions?

Azteryz1 votes

i might of brain farted about gp since i play him a lot

but the mist walkers i dont believe do

i have a pbe account so ill let you know asap
