When I first played League, I played Garen a lot initially. Me and my cousin would argue over whether or not Garen’s E granted movement speed while he was spinning. Apparently that wasn’t the case, his Q did but not his E. I never thought of hovering my cursor on the hud itself because we both took an oath to figure out what abilities did visually and not by words. That was years ago, now I know what everything in the game does. Though I might lack some knowledge.
Far fetched question here, but some abilities do not give enough information based on what you see. That’s for you to react and interpret what’s going on. If you’ve ever been to the LoL Wikia, than this post should occur to you.
P.S. This isn’t limited to champion spells, it could be something as small as not knowing that Cleanse removed ignite and exhaust debuffs
