TLDW; In short, on live servers, tethers sometimes fail to break immediately when flashed out of due to server frame checking. Now, with the implementation of area checking, they break instantly, which slightly nerfs champions like Karma, LeBlanc, Nocturne, and Morgana. Compensation buffs may be considered for affected champions.
good summary, thanks
Honestly very cool. I expect Leblanc to be hit the most but I still kind of expect it to be relatively minor.
One that I'm very curious about if it even applies in this context is Varus R spread. I feel like quite often the spread doesn't break even when you're pretty significantly out of the spread circle
I believe Varus R uses a different system but I'll take a look at it later today and see if it could be improved
Hey Endstep! Thanks for the video. Quick question- is there a chance that champs who used Armor and MR shards (Galio, Malphite, etc) are being looked at for slight compensation buffs on their passives for the lack of damage from those runes? I noticed in my recent Galio games going into Akali and not being able to double MR shard was very noticeable in both my survivability (w reduction scales off MR too) and passive damage for trading.
It's possible, I recall when we were working on them there was discussion around things like this. I'm not up to date on whether there's still followup happening or not though, that would be on the Live pod which is more Phreak's area.
Related in tick rates, can you make soraka e properly silence people, they can flash out of it especially after hourglass because the tick rate is so slow. It also doesn't cancel pyke hooks on low ping
I can take a look at Soraka E but no promises, as I believe the issue with that is a very different one than the tethers (to my knowledge, both are tickrate related but in a quite different way).
Will this fix soraka E letting people flash after zhonya ends ?
This is unrelated to Soraka E, as Soraka E is not a tether. This change only addresses tethers.
You seriously need to make more videos like this! I am in game dev and hearing your tech talk is music to my ears.
Thanks very much!
