[Request] Imperius Q cursor to middle/end

I love Imperius, but his Q makes him very clunky to play and it's very unintuitive. Abilities that can do extra damage at the end, like Genji's E swiftstrike, Orphea's Q - you are targeting the endpoint. I think it would be much easier to hit Q if your cursor was behind or on the targets. Given that it's still his trait build that defines him, I don't think giving a bit of love to the Q would make him OP.

The cursor position decides where Imperius will land, which we think is important when trying to use the movement part of the ability. Think of it like a Zeratul blink with a stun attached to the end.

Thanks for the answer! Keep up the good work :). I always saw the Q primarily as a stun, not a teleport. Maybe I just need to change my perspective a bit.

Oh it's definitely a stun first, for sure! When we were testing though, trying to figure out where you would land or if you could make it over a wall started to get really difficult until we changed it to the way it is now.
