Skoria shouldn't look like meteor

Sy1ph5

It's not a huge deal, but it is a lil irritating. I don't mind that skoria has warning in line with other monster procs, but the ring shouldn't be the same as meteor.
It messes with you and leaves buggy audio as the only real clue if you gotta block or you REALLY gotta block.

Yeah I jump block it alot lol. Maybe is they have it a noticeably different color?

But it does’nt? I might be wrong, but i feel it has a VERY visible red / orange color, when it is Skoria, as opposed to Meteor. I have not had any issues with this.

Both Meteor and Skoria have very distinct sounds that should be easy to distinguish from each other. The ring of runes/Daedric Script that appears beneath the target's feet is also of a different colour (Orange on Skoria, Light Blue on Meteor), and I'm fairly sure Meteor takes longer to drop down than Skoria proc does. Seems to be an issue where one just has to learn the difference, not too difficult.

Well before it was actually easier to tell it was skirts because you listened for the noise. Now when I see the ring I automatically go to blocking because I’ve been trained to do that ever since I was a wee lad. I see the ring WITHIN all the other negative effects I’m being blasted with by countless zerglings and I block to avoid a the stun and damage. Sitting there and looking for the color of the ring is sometimes difficult. Especially in lag when, if it is meteor, the stun will hit me before the ring actually reaches its full size. That makes things time sensitive

I can't do anything about the lag, but what you've just said means that you have to adapt. And if you get killed because of lag, that's hardly the fault of the ring

So it's different now yes? Because I never before had been confused by Skoria vs Meteor but now I am constantly confusing the two

I find it more frustrating in BGs when an ally procs it on an opponent. Not being sure if the opponent is about to be stunned or not has led to some ill timed bursts.

GhostofDatthaw

It's lazy programming tbh

Just take the same ring and reshade it instead of developing something else

Ok, so I'm new to PVP, what should I be doing if I sense an ultimate or proc is incoming? Until know, I just try to run out of anything incoming. Should I instead be jumping or just blocking? Still learning mechanics to all of these abilities and procs.

pros:
- notification leads to better burst by knowing when to cc. Much easier to see now
- blocking when notification happens means less burst for those fighting against it. meteor or valkyn, doesnt matter youll protect against the burst.

Cons:
- hard getting used to.
- against good enemies, hard to plan cc around the proc.

conclusion:
great change because there's no way to know which skill it is, therefore more counterplay without requiring a hard nerf(for those that aren't idiots at least).
