That's a really good point. I never really noticed how valuable death recap is, even though I use it ALL the time But this is mostly because it has been so seemlessly integrated into the game.

Especially when I first started, I was ALWAYS clicking on that bad boy to see what pwned me.

Now I use it to counter build(armor/MR). Or to see what owned me so I can better position myself to stay away from said skills that killed me.

I'm now in awe of death recap.

well, we are overhauling him

lol.

Or DotA's Nerubian Assassin. Good luck having any mana during laning. Loved playing nerub.

just one question ^^, for me skillshots are much more fun than point an click skills
so why dont heroes have more of these ?

Ok, so your argument for rupture is that someone wouldn't figure out why they are taking damage. How is this any different than undying rage, a new player would be wondering why tryndamere isn't dying. It just says ENDLESS RAGE. No new player will understand why they can't kill him and he is killing them. Why not implement rupture, and have the words DAMAGE WHILE MOVING flash above his head? That's basically what endless rage is, except would actually tell you what it's doing. Or like you said, in the death recap, put a description of how rupture hurt them. When I first started, I didn't understand why some of annie's casts stunned me, I didn't know why I got slowed after twitch hit me a few times, I didn't know why mf's double up hit me seemingly where ever I went. The "don't understand" argument could be applied to so many current skills.

Dunno, maybe it is just as simple as I disagree that a new player would take more than 2 or 3 tries to realize that rupture deals damage based on movement.

And who was the designer doing play balance when DH MB got massively nerfed?

Too easy. That's my only complaint.

It's always nice to try and explain things, but taking complicated effects out altogether is a cop-out. Multi-purpose abilities also are just that: used for multiple purposes. There's no need to have every ability have a single purpose period. If that was the case, why does Zilean have Time Warp?

Ok what about the mismatching? It seems to me this is the biggest problems with the design. When you have characters that excell at dishing out damage and tanking, not only does it eradicate plain tanks, it eradicates glass canons(except maybe twitch).

Sorry if I come across as a jerk, or a misinformed player. I'm just speaking from my own experience.

because not everyone is like you

I'm with you personally though.

don't do stupid stuff like this :/ please.

You misunderstand his point. It's not a matter of what YOU like. It's a matter of what is enjoyable. Being useless in a fight is not enjoyable. Dying is understandable. Being drained to 0 mana and just being useless for a long period of time? Boring and stupid. It feels good for YOU, but so does getting a kill. Being drained to 0 is ACTIVELY unenjoyable for the opponent. Dying is "****, I died, let's get it together". Being stunned and mana drained to 0 for 30 seconds is "Oh. Yay. I'm useless forever now."
