Of course I figured that out too late as I had no time to dodge it. The next time I was confused yet again. The third time he tried to pull me, I was like "LAWL CAN'T HIT ME". I think the particle should be changed to make it easier to understand what it is doing.
that is part of the issue, the other is that in a group or with minions around it gets easily lost, especially when fired from a brush.

I'll edit this. I had a long post, but a friend pointed out and I agree: There's utterly no point in trying to converse with somebody who just reduces an issue to a misquoted "L2Pnoobs" instead of bothering to address the actual issue. I agree. No point in it. Change your skin if you want. As you pointed out, it's your game and you don't design by committee. I'll keep that in mind whenever my reactions to things are sought out by Riot.

While on this subject, has riot realized that pulsefire ezreal's skin tends to bug last hits on creeps? There have been many cases where the minion would have the skins death animation yet no gold would come. This is actually something that must be looked at, i agree the icrank skin's pull is a bit more difficult to see but you know the champion, and understanding when someone is going to pull is part of the game. I honestly don't believe the skin needs a change to it. BUT ezreal's does.

Well thanks for replying anyways. I'm open to any changes you guys make to the Q, but I still think there's a lot of overracting to the whole thing.

I swear though, if there's still complaints after it gets fixed, I hope that raises some eyebrows about the possibility of mob mentality.

We'll make missteps sometimes, but I want to crystallize our commitment to solving these in a really timely manner.
Will it have some sort of wirelike thing. I only ask because I feel that the normal wire on the skin would seem incongruous with the sleek modern look of the skin

Your concerns disparage players and claim it's their fault they can't see something that, by our standards, does not meet the bar for clear readability. Maybe that wasn't your intent, but that was your message.

My point is that I don't think players are the blame, but instead we need to correct a mistake we made. I think that's pretty simple.

Not a full wire, but something that shows the VFX off in a similar manner. We do want it to look cool and appropriate too (that balance sometimes being tougher to achieve!)
