Can we stop missing information out of the official Spotlights, please?

Can whoever is uploading the Champion Spotlights please stop missing out information?

Let's look at Beta Ray Bill's spotlight:
Apparently, his SP3 generates a Resonance buff. That sounds important to understand.

Except.. I can't. Despite there being Dev notes about it, I still don't actually know what a Resonance buff is or does, after reading the Spotlight. It's some kind of source of damage; but it's not clear how it works - does it rely on hits, Crits, Special Attacks, Damage over Time effects...



It's the same for his Steady buff. Apparently he gets one when fighting Tech opponents. But nowhere does the Spotlight explain what it does...



Now, I'm an old hand, and I've been playing this game a while. I'm familiar with Ant-Man's Unsteady debuff; and I've read elsewhere that Beta Ray Bill counters Glancing. So, I'm guessing that a 'Steady' buff counters this?

But why am I guessing? This is supposed to be the Champion Spotlight - the primary description of the champ, online. Why on Earth is there no mention of 'Glancing' in the description of his 'Steady' buff? Does the Steady buff stop him Glancing completely? Does it reduce the ability accuracy of glancing? Does it make him immune to Unsteady debuffs? Who knows...?

Sorry to sound like a rant; but this is a recurrent problem - new champs are introduced with abilities which aren't actually described in their Spotlights.

Let's look at Patriot.

His main defensive threat is his Reversal ability. Read his Spotlight, and try to figure out: what the heck does Reversal actually do?

It's not clear; because it's not in there. The Dev notes do almost explain it, although not quite.

Similarly, at no point in Onslaught/Dani's Spotlight does it clarify that Neuroshock prevents Miss. It's touched on by the Dev notes, but not using clear in-game terminology.

I could go back and find more examples - I've almost written this post a couple of times.

The information is in the game; usually in little highlighted text pop-ups like this:




So, a plea to whoever updates/uploads Champion Spotlights onto the official Webpage: if something needs an explanatory pop-up in the game, please can you add the same information on the Champion Spotlight page?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! Will review the spotlight going forward to see if we're better able to incorporate info like this

Maybe we could have something like an index for nodes and ability definitions where the words are hyperlinks to their spot in the index. Kind of like how in game pressing on the words pops up a box with the definition

Thanks Pinwheel - very much appreciated!

Any chance I could ask a cheeky favour?

I've put a thread of buff suggestions for the Summoner's Choice champions here: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/comment/2596700/#Comment_2596700

I'm not expecting any feedback or comments, but would you be able to fix a stupid spelling mistake in the comment I've linked?

In the first sentence of my suggestion for Elektra, the sentence "Elektra gains +15 Critical Rating for each percentage of their health the opponent is Bertie maximum."

That's pretty much nonsense, and it would make a lot more sense if it was changed to "Elektra gains +15 Critical Rating for each percentage of their health the opponent is below maximum."...

Thanks for taking the feedback here on board; and double thanks if you can help with the above. Cheers!

Also I noticed on these pages that they don’t include the champion’s tags, like offensive burst, damage over time, size: XL, etc
