Only the most recent offenders: Augmentation // Augments

I don't think I need explain why this might confuse newer players?

On a broader scale, Omeda should probably reassess how things in the game are named - especially for the sake of clarity via voice comms and when disussing and/or explaining the game as a whole. It must especially be confusing for people of different languages or varying MOBA experiences

Names like Argus and Zarus are hard to distinguish for people unfamiliar with Western languages, and even harder if someone’s using a bad mic or talking over heavy combat noise

Likewise, “Feng” Mao and “Fang”tooth can be situationally confusing during comms (Fangtooth would be the safer one to rename - unless we want to piss off the purple man's fans)

Other close calls:
-"Fey" vs Phase (and sorry Epic, but “The Fey” was a weak name to begin with)
-Rev vs "Sev"

Theres also abilities that largely have this issue. I'm not gonna sift through the entire game, and every name, but I recall kwang being a big offender. Isn't every ability named like Heavens X?
Just rename everything to "Light/Judgement/Surge" and then leave his ult long form. (just as a rough example.)

I’m not necessarily suggesting we overhaul existing names at this point, but at the very least, can we avoid making it worse going forward?

This is a good idea, a lot of newer players tend to confuse lightning hawk and storm breaker to this day (which isn’t too serious but it sort of applies)

Naming conventions should always try to name for clarity and uniqueness and having too many things short form or long form that sync up or match is definitely a hindrance to the newer players.

Lightning hawk implies chain lightning.

At least the only important item timewarp doesn’t need to be changed 🙏

I honestly feel like this is something that should've been done well long ago in alpha.

With a Paragon remake/revival project - I never really expected all the names or anything to stay the same. So it's honestly a little bit surprising that they did.

The very least we can do is at least make it better going forward since it's a bit too late to fix that now.

Also, change primal fangtooth to something else. Prime and primal shouldn’t be two separate buffs lol
