Why no one addressed the elephant in the room

I guess it's possible there are just some gremlins adding to inconsistency, which magnifies the frustration that we so rarely get a straight answer from the devs.

As an example, with Blota I'll sometimes get the chain animation indicating I've snagged something in range, then it just vanishes. What does that mean exactly? Something has clearly been detected. Did it just time simultaneously with the target hitting purify? It's like the business with the skill "working" since it goes on CD, but nothing absolutely happening.

We've always had to work around issues like this to some extent, but there are now multiple situations where we simply don't know what's going on. Or at least I don't.

Not gonna lie I've also been puzzled by the blota animation doing nothing to me a couple of times, and it got me really wondering because I sure as hell didn't have purify up. Guess I ran out of range and the chain lacked the reach or something due to the delay? This sounds fun for an ability that's supposed to be used... from afar.

Yeah it's puzzling because it seems to both register and not register. No idea how in a deterministic algorithm that can happen.

The hit detection has been so bad as NIN I avoid using hyosho at all in my matches now because it's a better damage gain to use raiju or gokka over it...

Its absolutely bonkers some of these abilities take so long to come out now and they haven't tried to do anything about it yet besides mostly meaningless number changes. Trying to toss yourself into a teamfight and getting a {Phantom Rush} let alone an {Ouroboros} out in a reasonable amount of time is hellish, the fact you can disjoint {Ouroboros} so hard that you can go into {Snake Scales} or heal multiple times during its windup just feel wrong, like sure it works in PvE but sure as hell isn't in PvP. If this doesn't get a revert most instances of this or general considerable changes in 7.2 then *whew*, good luck folks, we'll all need it.
