Original Post — Direct link

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

This one doesn't really fit the thread, but, silence abilities (Malz Q) and those that interrupt channels (Kassadin Q) both remove the protective shell from Scuttlecrab. No need for hard CC.

Protective shell?

Yes, Scuttlecrabs take significantly reduced damage from all sources until it's been affected by hard CC (root or stun). After that, it can be defeated very quickly.

Bonus Scuttlecrab tip: for about 2s after you DO apply hard CC to the Scuttlecrab, she takes INCREASED damage too. So, if you were Vi, you should Q through the Crab and then quickly fire off both your E punches as rapidly as possible to clear it quickly.
