Ability targeting and animations

Love the game and hope Riot keeps up the amazing work but I wanted to point out some parts which I found disappointing and see if anyone else agrees or if it is a big enough of a problem to make a change to.

When zed starts his animation to ult, his shuriken can sometimes fly in a different direction if the champion zed was targeting dies or moves. This makes for a weird combination of animations - zed facing one way while a shuriken flies another. But more importantly, I don't see this in certain other champions like, for example, fiora. When fiora starts her animation to ult, if the champion dies or moves she doesn't change her ability's direction (from what I've seen), therefor missing. Now is this supposed to be this way because zed costs more than fiora and so many 'works' better?

Other abilities are kind of anticlimactic when for example kennen ults while only one champion is in the area and does not move towards the enemy team to hit more champions. This does makes sense when looking at how other champions work like Garen has an Aoe Ult and yet doesn't move towards more enemies only stays on the one he was attacking. It is a little more dissapointing when your 3 gold champion with an way larger AoE ult than garen only has one champion inside though. I haven't tried but I imagine it is the same problem when kennen has rapid fire canon and doesn't move towards the enemy team to have them inside his ult since his auto attacks are far enough way?

I know darius has been changed to not start his ult if no champions are inside his ult AoE so maybe that's the case for kennen too but then that would mean that a kennen with rfc may never ult. I truely don't know which way to go for this. I would like kennen to move to include more champions inside his ult but then again changing this would mean that other champions with AoE ults might need to be re-programmed to ult to most amount of champions instead of either a random one or the one they were attacking and this might be hard to balance.

I dunno just right now some small things are a little disappointing is all.

Thanks again for the making and the continued improvement of this gamemode though Riot! Julian

i would rather see kennen just not ult with RFC rather than ulting nobody, that way if someone jumps on him he has his ult ready, kennen is great on the offensive but he could be the dollar store kindred if he has an RFC, i would like that, he does good dmg and can also keep any carries beside him alive should they get jumped on hmmmm actually that might be too good, idk

i also think it would be cool if he just simply ran around when ulting XD

also look into the stun on kennens ult, ive watched him die to basic attacks from champs that are "stunned" but they decide to auto one more time anyways dont get me wrong ive appreciated my champs killing him real quick when hes ulting but i know thats not how it shoulda gone down, my dudes should be dead and kennen potentially alive
