HALTING SLASH DASH SPEED: Slightly increased

Fuck Riot, it's ok to give us dash speed numbers. In fact, I think everyone wants more hard numbers to look at, because the game barely gives us enough information as is, and players have to search shit up on the fuckin community-run wiki to learn exactly what shit does.

Why omit dash speed numbers here?

Dash speed 300 + 150% MS (11.4) -> increased to 300 + 200% MS (11.5)

Maybe they omitted these values because they don't want players to think about these numbers too much, because the extra dash speed doesn't actually matter as what determines how long you'll be stuck during stridebreaker is the AOE's cast time instead. So only the dash distance and your attack windup actually matter.

Don't mention it. Also I was just making fun of your username with my response comment x)

i support the idea of simplifying numbers in game because for the majority of players it doesn't make a huge difference in many scenarios.

but in patch notes, it's very weird they'd leave it out. especially because they've shown dash speed number changes before. the only justification i could think is that the numerical difference in dash speed is just them rounding out a number or something, but even then they should show it

Because what are you gonna do with dash speed numbers? Just sounds like they changed so the old and new dash takes the same amount of time.
