i swear when they are thrown from a bush they dont actually appear till they are half way to me already

My problem with them is they're about 3-4x wider than they appear to be.  There are several skill shot projectiles in the game like this.  Riot really needs to adjust the graphics to reflect the actual size of the hitboxes.  So many times, I will be acting on pure reflex to dodge one of those things as tightly as possible because I'm trying to maneuver efficiently in the middle of combat, and I'll get hit because I forget that the spear is actually an entire tree in disguise.

That'd be nice. It's like how effects like MF's Make it Rain and Cho'gath's Rupture now have little outlines. Do that for skillshots too.

They pretty much have already done that with Xerath. That said, I really don't like that they did that. It takes the skill out of actually avoiding a skill shot. MF's Make It Rain is okay, because it's sustained damage. Cho'Gath's Rupture is NOT because it's not sustained damage. It's burst damage. You can walk back into Make It Rain and take minor damage. If you have a line showing you the spear's path, it's far too easy to avoid. Xerath's line is sort of okay because it's instantaneous.

I really don't like how they did that with Rupture. Frankly, it was decently easy to avoid even before the targeting circle (unless Cho'Gath cast it from the brush, because that cancels out the sound cue).

I don't need a line showing the flight path of the object.  I just need the object to look as wide as it actually is.

The lines would be unnecessary for the skillshots if their hitbox matched their model. So many things hit way too easily. Nidalee's spears are spears, so make the hitboxes to be spears too and not wide as cars.

Alright, yeah. Nidalee's spear shot looks like it should be as wide as Olaf's axe throw, but it really isn't.

 It takes the knowledge out of avoiding a skill shot. The veteran can correctly avoid the Nidalee spear using his superior knowledge, whereas a novice, no matter how gifted, will not necessarily achieve the same result using the visual cues provided by the game. It's a matter of design philosophy - leave in the rough edges here and there, letting the players figure out the nuances on their own, or create a more consistent gaming experience where the mechanics and visuals blend seamlessly together.

The GP one actually looks pretty good

I love how in the last picture even the small friendlist icon has been modified.

[penguinofhonor]

I'm a fan of Dravraka.

[frostshotgg]

Dravdalee will give me nightmares.

So it seems like PFE is getting his own patch tonight. See you in a week, Jayce!

Mundo's Infected Cleaver appears to be fairly small, but then you realize he's actually tossing mid sized sedans at you...

Well apparently something is broke now and when a Dominion game starts (havent tried SR), it doesn't actually start loading when the timer in the lobby runs out, you're just stuck discussing how retarded Pantheon's new portrait is with 4 other people until someone from either team bails out. Had this happen 3 times in a row, guess I'll wait a bit before starting a new game.

No.

Everything's broke.

An unnecessarily rushed patch which broke everything and added nothing important, but removed Viktor's best feature. Don't play today, wait till they have fixed all of it.

In other news, yesterday when I played Mordekaisi, I saw a X^Z who actually focused my ghost instead of me. People never focus the ghost. I have no idea why this Xin did, because the particular ghost he focused wasn't very deadly. But if I ult and ghost someone like Trynd or Kog, they ignore it. Attack Morde, ignore the carry who rapes you. Oh, low on hp because I didn't focus the ghost? Nah, can't be, it was Mordekaiser himself who dealt all of the dmg.
