  • Are there any plans for skill shots? (directional targeting and ground targeted abilities)

    The title pretty much says it all.

    For those that aren't familiar with MOBA's. A skill shot generally refers to an ability in which you have to aim the effect in to the desired target taking into account the targets direction of travel, target speed, and the speed of your projectile.

    Example (burning shot to a skill shot): Press Q and a flame arrow is fired in the arrow direction and travels until it hits a target or reaches the end of its predetermined range.



    Example (barrage to a ground targeted ability): Press E when your cursor is over the desired target location and after a short delay the area is pelted with arrows and anything in the highlighted area takes damage.



    Adding skill shots to this game would be -amazing-

  • Combat should definitely have direct skill involved. By direct skill I mean physically aiming attacks, I'm fully aware that even with combat being as is there is skill involved with tactical/situational awareness nor I am debating that.

    The more skill requirements you can implement into combat the more you weaken talentless zerg's as well.

    Agree wholeheartedly with OP.

    I don't think its as much of a zerg thing as it is a fun thing. Connecting on a well placed skill shot is fun and rewarding gameplay.
