When shopping for mechs i think it would be nice if in the place where it describes the ability of that mech that the description would be a little bit more flushed out. for example, telling the user how long the ability last, how much it increases damage or how much boost you get returned in the scouts ability. it currently says it returns a "good" amount. i dont know what that means lol. dont leave new players in the dark. the nice thing about league of legend is that your spells all have descriptions of exactly what they do when u scroll over them.

Specifics are always good.
I'd recommend this be applied to items as well.

It makes it much easier to discuss balance when you have an idea of what is doing precisely what.

Yes. support the motion. More information leaves less room for speculation and falsely based claims of something being "Imba"

ya, i wasnt gonna bring it up in alpha or beta 1 but i cant believe they havent change this stuff yet. it again grants a large advantage to those of us who play more because we have experienced the weapons and abilities and understand their outputs/cooldowns.

This needs to be visible inside the game client. You cannot expect every player to even know about the existence of a proper wiki.

Agreed info is always good.

Totally agree.  You'll see some significantly updated tooltips in open beta.  With each major patch you'll see the information in the garage get better and better, with the end goal of players knowing exactly what they're getting prior to picking up a new mech or item

Thx for the feedback, and keep it coming!

I agree, I think descriptions are good now but they could use a little more detail.  Thank you.

Before the proper beta3 showed up, weapon descriptions when buying a new weapon (at least on my brawler, only had the 1 lvl 20) were in german >.> is that still the case_
