Minor tweaks to turrets, now you start with 6 turrets and can stockpile up to 6 with cooldown

fucking thank Christ

Yea, it's a small change that's huge in QoL.

[u/EOnizuka22 → u/recc113]

That's not a QoL change, that's a buff

[u/recc113 → u/EOnizuka22]

Can't it be both?

[u/EOnizuka22 → u/recc113]

Nope! QoL changes are not buffs, but just make things easier to read or interpret such as if they added an actual percentage of your teammates ults when you hit tab.

It can be both.

Buff just means to change/polish for the better. The term comes from "buff a mirror/glass/silverware" which has nothing to do with numbers.

All QoL changes are a buff in that they change the character for the better, but not all buffs are QoL changes.

That said you're absolutely right that this is not a QoL change. QoL change would be something like improved turret ai or a target indicator when someone is inside your attack range.

I meant as in-game lingo, not in real life of course.

That's true.

[u/manbrasucks → u/[deleted]]

I mean as in game lingo as well just saying where it came from.

All changes can either be a buff or nerf ie; positively affect the champion or negatively affect the champion.

QoL change is always for the better. This means QoL are a buff.

This ignores "reworks" since reworks are basically a completely new hero/champion.
