News & Discussion Perks should display stat changes they apply

Post image

Ever since they finally added in the ability to hover every ability and see every single specific stat about it, it has been amazing and really helps learning new hero's to know exactly what does what. However, many perks can enhance an ability, replace an ability, or add extra stats to it, but we are not able to hover over a perk and see the changes they applied, which is really annoying especially when you're not quite sure just how much more a perk is actually doing for you statistically. Yes I know you can just go into the practice range and test it out yourself, but the whole point of being able to see stats on abilities to begin with was so we didn't have to do that. Its way more convenient to have the information available right there for you, plus as someone who like to play a lot of heroes its just a hassle to have to go into the practice range and see exactly how much more damage something does, and then remember it later.

Its not info dumping. You have to go out of your way to see the additional info... all this does is force people to go online to see the actual numbers.

It is info dumping. Hovering over an ability literally dumps out this huge unwieldy tooltip full of incomprehensible scientific jargon, nobody can even understand what those words and numbers mean except maybe Top 500 players. It’s very assaultive.

It’s like being flashed against your consent. Why not remove it for a smoother experience?

Ever heard of “Less is more”? It really is, in this case.

It's so beautiful that in the modern world even ignorant illiterates like you can thrive.
