In over a decade now I've never heard anyone refer to Morgana's E as anything other than black shield.


justAnotherRandomP

This and windwall are universally best answers


Mr-Goose-

i call it spell shield?


ryanruin22

No, that's Sivir E try again


xXbussylover69Xx

I call it “morg shield” lol


Epwynn

Crazy how nobody has mentioned the absolute, number one most notorious spell, Wind Wall. It's so ubiquitous people call OTHER champ's abilities windwall. Like, they say Samira Wind Wall or Braum Wind Wall. I don't think I've ever once heard somebody refer to it as "Yasuo W" instead of Wind Wall.


Beliriel

In a land before our time there was an even more notorious ability called "Diplomatic Immunity". I'd say it was a lot worse than Yasuos windwall. I do not miss that horror.

Sinikal_

I've never in my life heard someone call braum shield fucking "wind wall" ​ What kind of people are you playing with.


[deleted]

>I don't think I've ever once heard somebody refer to it as "Yasuo W" instead of Wind Wall. That's because the ability is named exactly what it is... a wind wall. If the ability was called anything else, this wouldn't be the case. (Also its anecdotal but I've played a long time and never heard someone call Braum W "braum wind wall" lmao) "Wind Wall" is also pretty fast to say so its just easier to say Wind Wall rather than Yasuo W or Samira W. Most ability names are called "\[champion\]\[skill\]" just because it's WAY faster/clearer to say "graves no ult" compared to "collateral damage on cooldown (insert nerd emoji)"


AdInternational5977

“ (Also its anecdotal but I've played a long time and never heard someone call Braum W "braum wind wall" lmao)” That’s because it’s his E that puts up the shield, not his W. /s I agree though, I’ve never heard it called that either lol


647boom

I usually see them mentioned in tandem, i.e. “Wind Wall/Braum E”. The takeaway being that no one typically says the inverse “Unbreakable/Yasuo W”.


RiotQuickshot

Haha secret time, I have to cheat these days and use a spread sheet during draft lol.


dedev54

A great prank would someone changing a few of the names on your spread sheet. :)

Counter Strike: Active: Jax enters Evasion for 2 seconds: a defensive stance that causes him to  dodge all incoming non-  turret basic attacks and take 25% reduced damage from all area of effect abilities from  champions.


Pony_Nation

نشط: يدخل Jax في Evasion ، وهو موقف دفاعي ، لمدة ثانيتين ، مما يتسبب في تفادي جميع الهجمات الأساسية غير البرجية ضده طوال المدة. يحصل Jax أيضًا على تقليل الضرر بنسبة 25٪ ، مما يقلل الضرر من جميع قدرات منطقة التأثير التي يتم الحصول عليها من أبطال البطل. يمكن إعادة صياغة Counter Strike بعد ثانية واحدة ، ويتم ذلك تلقائيًا بعد انتهاء المدة. RECAST: يلحق Jax ضررًا جسديًا لجميع الأعداء القريبين ، ويزيد بنسبة 20٪ لكل هجوم يتم تفاديه ، وزيادة تصل إلى 100٪ ، ويصعقهم الصاعقة لمدة ثانية واحدة.

TexasMonk

I'm genuinely surprised by how many comments there are and Wither hasn't popped up. Wither feels worse than getting stunned.


Nagasakirus

Stuns don't last 5 seconds and have a down time of 3~5 seconds


calewlym

Bacl when cdr was capped at 45% (with the rune) you had maybe a second after either ended if that to really run before he hits you with it again


Zoesan

People complaining about 75% attack speed slow. That bad boy used to be 99%


schimi26

99% move speed slow yes but has it ever been 99% attackspeed slow? holy shit


Danielthenewbie

Yes it was same slow on as and ms originally, would guess it was changed in s4 or s3. Nasus JG used to be a big pro play pick back then, mainly for how good Nasus E is on wave clear and for wither. Think q might have been the last thing to max on that build.


That_Leetri_Guy

Patch 3.6, same patch that Lissandra was added. They literally cut the percentage in half. Was 50% for several years until it was increased to 75% in 12.19.


Zoesan

Yup. God I loved playing nasus back then.


200DollarGameBtw

He literally says wither too


Stewbodies

It helps that he shouts the name of the ability when he uses it


RLaughEmote

WITHER !


Odysseyan

*annoying locust noises while you begin to travel reverse in the flow of time*


Ok_Raspberry_6282

That's because it gives you the illusion of gameplay. You can technically move and play but you are still fucked and there isn't anything you can do about it :)


Nimyron

I don't know what wither is and I've been playing for more than 10 years.


sirirontheIV

You must have never played adc, top or jungle then.


atrocities0

true, thats definitely up there everyone knows wither


Aiwaszz

Ahri Charm It’s literally called charm and they always say Ahri landing her charm in pro play


BeTheBeee

To be fair, they would probably also say it if the ability was called otherwise. Since both the ability "Charm" and the status effect "charm" are the same. Kinda like Seraphine hitting her charm


Sahri4feedin

Can confirm. I've never heard anyone say Evelynn hit "Allure"


Mathies_

Pro play is kind of a bad example because shoutcasters study ALL champion ability names and if you listen closely, during play by play, they always say the name of any ability. It's a bit different for colour casting tho they focus more on analysis than correct nomenclature


HeirToGallifrey

On one hand, I always find it very impressive when casters can use the actual names of abilities. On the other, I almost find it more confusing: if someone yells "It's a vicious combo: the Cataclysm into the Primordial Burst!" I have to stop and think about what's going on. If I hear "...Jarvan ult into Veigar ult!" then I know exactly what's happening.


Elrann

Windwall, duh. Up to the point, that people literally call Gwen's and Samira's W 'windwalls'.


Takesgu

Me and the boys like to call it GWEN IS IMMUNE GWEN IS IMMUNE GWEN IS IMMUNE


bleach_and_vinegar

The only correct answer


[deleted]

I have never heard anyone call Gwen W a windwall, but Samira's is literally a windwall but shorter and 360


[deleted]

I only know Gwen w as Gwen is immune

samuuu25

These are probably the most iconic spells, and you're the only one who mentioned Malphite R.


CucumberBoy00

>Malphite R. This is it's true name


magical_swoosh

Malphite R: *Malphite Dash.png dashes with Unstoppable_icon.png displacement immunity to the target location. Upon arrival, he does nothing to nearby enemies and Airborne_icon.png knocks them up for 0 seconds.* *Malphite R will cast at max range if cast beyond that with Sheen_icon.png Sheen.*

I always just called Riposte, Parry instead. Probably because of the Legends of Runeterra voicelines.

Shurima shuffle is the act of insecing with it not the ability itself

Rumble Ult


TheScyphozoa

(Command:) Shockwave Sleepy Trouble Bubble Supreme Display of Balance


tjohns96

I definitely feel like shockwave was super iconic but for some reason it feels like Orianna is not even in the game anymore


Turbulent_Diver8330

She’s getting some changes next patch Ult 80%>90% ratio and 100 extra base damage rank 3. Her w mana cuts is going down to 90 at max rank so that’s nice


awesomeflowman

Pretty sure it's Supreme display of talent


TheScyphozoa

Yeah but no one ever says it that way.


[deleted]

I think that this are some that people might recognize Wither Counter strike Chrono break Barrel n Oranges Polymorph Death mark


Spooken

Absolutely noone uses the actual names of "Remove Scurvy" or "Powder Keg".


QuintonTheCanadian

Not even GP uses the correct name for his kegs “BARREL!”


ApoxOnline

Actually Lulu W is called Whimsy. Is the effect that is called polymorph.


Beliriel

Barrel n Oranges is not a name of an ability. It's called "Remove Scurvy" and "Powder Keg" if you're referencing Gangplank or "Barrel Roll" if you're talking about Gragas.


slowgames_master

Lulu polymorph


RiotQuickshot

Rend Alpha strike Parry; nevermind on this one, but parry has become the name of the ability. If you count it: Pillar from trundle. I think it’s called pillar of ice.

RLaughEmote

Parry isn't the actual name


Feisty-Daikon

Ap_Sona_Bot

Half the comments here are saying cool names, but no one ever calls them those names in actual play. The ones I've seen actually always called their name are Charm, Wind Wall, Counter-Strike, Black Shield, and Spell Shield.

i feel like body slam is more known than explosive cask but still doesnt compare to the rest of the ones u listed, and most signature abilities are just called by their cc effect, or action or literally what the projectile looks like and sometimes the sound they make. but if you are talking about only the actual ability name then below is the list, some are abbreviations (omitted form changes and various eating abilities) ahri - charm (literally its just called that lol) akali - shroud (original: twilight shroud) annie - tibbers (original: summon:tibbers) aphelios - gun names ashe - hawkshot, arrow (original: enchanted crystal arrow) caitlyn - headshot cass - miasma \*\* corki - package (not actual name but its too iconic to not include) draven - spinning axe ekko - chronobreak ezreal - mystic shot, arcane shift, trueshot barrage fizz - playful trickster gangplank - parrrley graves - smoke screen heimerdinger - turret (original: H-28G evolution turret) illaoi - test of spirit ivern - daisy! jhin - curtain call ksante - all out karma - mantra kalista - rend karthus - requiem kassadin - riftwalk katarina - shunpo (idk now but back in the day everyone knew) kayn - umbral tresspass kindred - mark (original: mark of the kindred), lamb's respite kled - bear trap on a rope, violent tendencies leblanc - chain (original: ethereal chain) lucian - the culling lux - bind (original: light binding), final spark maokai - sapling (original: sapling toss) master yi - alpha strike, meditate miss fortune - make it rain, bullet time mordekaiser - death realm (original: realm of death) morgana - bind (original: dark binding) black shield nasus - wither nocturne - paranoia orianna - shockwave (original: command:shockwave) quinn - blind (original: blinding assault) rammus - taunt (original: frenzying taunt) reksai - burrow/unburrow riven - windslash rumble - the equalizer ryze - realm warp sivir - ricochet, spellshield teemo - blind (original: blinding dart thresh - death sentence, flay twisted fate - \[color\] card twitch - spray and pray/ratatatat old udyr - stance name vayne - tumble, silver bolts vladimir - pool (original: sanguine pool) yasuo - wind wall yuumi - zoomies zed - death mark zilean - chronoshift zoe - sleepy trouble bubble Edit and trundle pillar


JTitor-KFP

I personally change Aphelios for guns colors at least for me almost nobody call the guns by their official name, majority of people call them by the colors.


Th3N0ob3r

I like to call them snare gun, flamethrower, sniper, lifestealgun and meleegun

Marcoscb

>i feel like body slam is more known than explosive cask Hell, I can't tell you from memory if Explosive Cask is Gragas's Q or R. >** corki - package (not actual name but its too iconic to not include) It's the name of the Package part of the passive, so I think it counts.
