Typhoon (lol)

OK can this spell be fixed please!!
Its already the most useless knockback in the game (with regards to the actual knockback not the slow effect after) but then if there is terrain elevation changes it gets even worse.

For example
If you are elevated above your intended target it wont even touch them
If you have a tiny little ‘stair’ in front of your target (like the little changes in the top floors of the bunkers in AV) the knock back will only knock back a couple of yards (if that)

And just some other info its also a knockback that requires the player to position themselves BEFORE casting the spell (in other words requires some skill) and not just running into a group of players and hitting a button sending 5 people into the EOTS abyss

please fix

Yeah blastwave and thunderstorm send people to Narnia with easier positioning meanwhile Typhoon sends people 3 feet from you. Definitely feels bad.

Vortex is equally terrible when compared to other ‘pull-in’ mechanics. Both spells feel very unrewarding and underwhelming on their own.

Like Typhoon is an ‘acceptable’ ability but ONLY WHEN IT WORKS as intended.

I hate it when you cast it and the knockback is like 2 yards. (this happening a lot of the time caused me to make this post)

WOW!!!
Just did a Typhoon on an Incap Roared opponent and it knocked them back…NOTHING!!

Fix this ability PLEASE

It would be cool if it lifted the targets off the ground, spun them, then flung them in a random direction within the cone. Kinda like a typhoon might do.

I suppose that would require some next level design stuff though.

Typhoon knockback was always a good amount worse than thunderstorm. I don’t think they should really buff it too much but to change it up a bit it would be nice if they gave it damage again like make it hit as hard as a Starsurge or something now that would be cool it used to be a good finisher back in the day.
