Revert Wrecking Ball pathfinding changes

Mad Maggie main here.

Since the Mad Maggie buff i would like to complain for once about the recent changes that happened to Mad Maggie and her ultimate "Wrecking Ball", the recent new tweaks aren't good and literally made the ultimate slower, unpredictable so basically making the ultimate useless.

The changes made to the ultimate movement pathfinding made the Ball gets even more unpredictable paths (bouncing of the ledge of a box, changing direction instantly after hitting an enemy rather than going forward, getting blocked by enemy etc...) check 2nd linked clip of ball weird behaviors


The ball who was very good to cross huge open fields, isn't anymore because of first the pathfinding the balls gets and also how slow the ball moves now; especially when steep slopes (check 1st linked clip)

sometimes the ball double explodes on the enemy sometimes (same path) it doesnt (third clip)

sometimes the ball instantly explodes on your face when launching (if enemy is being a door or mirage decoys) even when going far enough of the blasting range it still hits or explodes on our faces.

sometimes ball doesnt even explode even though the enemy is on the pathway (this never happened before 4th clip)

with new pathfinding the ball now sometimes misses targets behind cover because of the ball trying to avoid the so called cover.

The addition of the fortified is good but would've been perfect if ball kept old pathfiding tech. the new one isn't good and benefits the enemies more than it benefits Mad Maggie herself.

Please revert the new pathfinding traits and bring back the old one as of right now the old pathfinding was way better, predictable and more useful.

Thanks.

    i've been playing Mad Maggie since she got released in season 12 and never swapped legend since. This is the first time i'm questionning myself to swap Main legend because of those most likely terrible changes that happened to her.

    the only good changes was the "buff" on Riot Drill even though Riot Drill has one of the weirdest behavior in the game. i could make a full video about all the bad things about it.
