Why current hitboxes are a terrible design: Let's play a game

If you would have read the post I was responding to, they were talking about her healing abilities.

Fine. Don’t laugh at my joke.

I did though, it was amazing hardcore chuckle.

Point-N-Click abilities should allow you to click on the portraits at the top of the screen. I do not play point-n-click supports anymore, simply because I just CANNOT stand mis-clicking my abilities!

And so, that which is old is made new again.

I wish they’d do this already.

Cleanse is point and click. Divine Palm is point and click. Should those be castable on a portrait? That would significantly lower the skill cap of heroes with said abilities and dumb them down.

Uh. Yes?

It’s not particularly mechanically challenging to use a point and click ability. This suggestion just aims to remove accidental misclicks

This already causes problems when targets are in plain view with no obstructions.

Skill shots tend to miss very often. When hovering over your intended target will cause the skills to aim “high” and miss. Even though you know its the hero circle that matters, queuing up a damage skill shot will miss if hovering over a target. Your best bet is to magically find empty floor space where your mouse can keep its un-adjusted targeting to aim true…

Hero circles are the only thing that should matter when targeting/skill shots are concerned. This includes healing, point and click, skill shots, and AOE. Bodies should not be targeted or highlighted. Hero circles are the only things that barely overlap and are a reliable place for targeting. Hero circles can overlap and make it much harder for skills to land on the correct target, which I think should be a strategy. Using this strategy with bodies can be unrewarding this is a perspective view not a positioning view.

Don’t feel bad. You were still technically correct, since her upgraded Nano provides potential healing to the intended target.

Darn it, I was just starting to enjoy my self-pity.

Oh… um… Well your Artanis swaps need work! Yeah!

Ooh, brutal. Now I can safely feel bad about myself.

Not really. You’d probably cast it too late if you went to click on a portrait for it. I’m not advocating for this to be implemented. I think it’s a dumb idea. If you can’t manage clicking on the right hero, that’s your problem. I’m just saying your use of ana as an example was meaningless as her heals are skill shots.

It’s a point and click ability. That’s about as low of a skill cap as you can get. The usefulness of a cleanse comes from knowing who to use it on and when, not the ease of access to it.

Yeah I fully agree with this sentiment. Do we really need to make point and click abilities easier to land? Like how many do you actually miss because big guys are clumping up near little guys? This “problem” is being blown out of proportion.

Your healing reminds me of when a mother goes into a teenage boys room. It’s always awkward and ill-timed (gotem).

Oh yeah? Your DPS reminds me of a Chihuahua. Hyperactive and ineffective.
