It's not my idea, that's what happens. It's not a term either. It's like calling "went to the bus" a term. It's not a term, he just went to the bus. Last post of last page to compare. | ||

It probably shouldn't be a term, but Riot's basically turned it into one using it to describe a specific subset of skills in the manner, and a significant subset of the player-base perceives the meaning of it based on this. The fact that you're confusing the shit out of everyone furthers my point. | ||

I agree with their decision. Mana is fine as a resource, but it's not the sort of resource that your opponent should be able to attack, same reason I hate the idea of a character that attacks gold. I just don't think the gameplay it introduces is very deep, it feels like incredibly binary play (completely rapes the opponent or does nothing to the opponent with basically no room for a middleground). | ||

Too bad Shyvana can't, she'd have been my new solotop dominator.

That just confusing as fuck given what you actually intended to ask. Except for the fact that Garen's is the only one that's different from everyone else's and I mentioned Garen for a reason as I'm perfectly aware that every Q resets autoattack the normal way. Guess what standard means there? It means, like Nasus's, Wukong's, etc. | ||

When it does matter, it's not fun for the person being mana burned. There's no way to interact with that mechanic except not get hit. Mid-late game, it doesn't really matter, because you you have 5 billion mana anyway, so the actual mana burn doesn't do anything. I think the mechanic can still be useful and interesting...they just only put it on Wits End, which was priced and usually bought at as a mid-late game item. | ||

If you want to test go play Garen against Nasus, get Withered, and go try to auto -> Q -> auto with Garen. If you time it "right" you'll auto -> Q -> stand there till your autoattack is off cooldown -> auto. edit: Actually I don't own Garen so it's possible his in particular works differently. That would be very strange though. If you think Garen's is different go test with an attackspeed of something like 0.2. I can't watch your video because I'm on a bad connection (though it sounds like others suggest it wouldn't be helpful anyway). | ||

On November 03 2011 03:18 crate wrote: When you use a skill that "resets the autoattack timer" what it actually means is what Yango said: it just puts your character back into a neutral state (well, also issues a command to attack your current target if you have one). Said skill doesn't actually count as an autoattack for the purpose of your autoattack cooldown, isn't sped up by attackspeed, etc. Those skills apply on-hits and some (all? never bothered testing) of them can crit (but I think they have different rules for how crits boost damage than regular autoattacks, again never tested), but they're not an autoattack, and it doesn't set your autoattack cooldown to 0. So if you have low attack speed it's quite possible that after a skill like Nasus or Trundle or Garen Q your autoattack hasn't come back off cooldown so you can't autoattack right away. If you get more attack speed this delay will decrease, until you get enough so that your autoattack cools down faster than your Q animation and it'll look seamless. If you want to test go play Garen against Nasus, get Withered, and go try to auto -> Q -> auto with Garen. If you time it "right" you'll auto -> Q -> stand there till your autoattack is off cooldown -> auto. This is what I think as well. Its just a question of your attack speed. | ||

It's a binary mechanic, and not just on mana-less champs (mana-less champs just make the binary nature more apparent). Either the skill does nothing because a target will die before they conceivably run out of mana (AP carries with large mana pools/blue buff, mana-less champs, squishy champions that die faster than they lose mana), or it's tantamount to a permanent silence once the target reaches no mana. It would be a nightmare to balance its comparative worthlessness against the former type of target vs. its enormous strength vs. the latter. | ||

As an ex-WoW gladiator, every time I see the words "mana burn" my cholesterol level spikes up and I hear the "PING" sound of a priest mana burn in my head. And on top of that, you can't really line-of-sight or interrupt in LoL. | ||

Go test it with an attack speed of something like 0.2 on Garen (get Withered), that'll clear it up. | ||

I think Nerubian Assassin from Dota, has this mana burn ability. Burn some mana, and do some damage. Doesn't do a huge load of impact because of the way mana is designed in dota (or well it's been years since i played) | ||
