QoL: An overhead duration indicator for Tempest Doubles #699

Open TheZett opened 2 years ago

TheZett commented 2 years ago

Description

Similar to Morphling’s old Replicate illusion or Wisp’s Relocate, the Tempest Double would benefit from having its duration timer displayed as a visible number above its head.

This indicator should only be visible for allies, but not for enemies.

It would make it a lot easier for allies to figure out if they can gank an enemy hero alongside with the Tempest Double, or if the Double is about to expire and the ally about to solo gank the enemy.

Example Match ID (and possibly Timestamp)

How about you Arc warden players just communicate with your team?) Besides, isn't there a circular small green remaining time indicator under clone's hp bar? IMG_20220608_080112 Like here. What's the point of adding one more?

The circle is not exact enough, unlike an actual number, and since the Double’s duration varies, you cannot even estimate it reliably (e.g. half a circle = always X seconds).

They just added a new indicator for Underlord’s Fiend’s Gate, but following your logic "the Underlord should just communicate with his team", which is not constructive feedback at all.

This is called a joke, and to indicate that this was a joke I added a little smile next to the sentence. Speaking of constructivism, Fiend's gate doesn't have visible time indicator so you gotta click on it to check the remaining time, while zet clone has one, so adding one more seems redundant.
