We changed it so that it will always use the target's bounding circle, but this means the potential reach of a skillshot is extended, and we have to slightly reduce the range of skillshots.

This explains why, for example if your dodging Lux's ultimate by moving upwards. You would still be hit by it even if you should have been out of it's range.


Also curious but, can you list what champions are effected by size changes and skill shots changed.

I hope this fixes Lux ult, the hit box on that thing is beyond screwed up, doesnt hit when it should and does when it shouldnt. Idk what patch messed it up, but its definitely buggy and frustrating.

I dodged on of those against Lux as well and it still hit me straight in the face. I just thought I was lagging :P

In order to retain the current gameplay we have on the Live servers, we've had to slightly reduce the range of most skillshots since targets are effectively slightly bigger and thus slightly easier to hit.
Will this mean that Nidalee's javelin throw will have a lower max dmg?
Or will you boost her numbers if you are decreasing the max range?

Can't wait to see what kind of ridiculous new bugs this introduces.

Can't wait to miss tons of kills as Lee because I was rewarded for taking the time to learn the exact, explicit range on his Q that's now been altered.

At least the game is slowly getting more consistent.

So the Lux ult bug won't be fixed by this?
