I hate spam and likely always will, but as for a compromise, I think at the very least fake WOP should be only used to trick your opponent, not completely hide their spell. I keep hearing that it is used to "trick" your opponent, but all I see is it being used to hide the spell.
So, when your hit your opponent down to low(ish) HP, you say ".WOP Kal Vas Flam" one time, and it is up to him to decide if it is real or not. If its real and he thinks its fake, he has to be real lucky for his bandage to give him a decent health boost. If its fake and he thinks its real, hes just wasted a bit of mana trying to heal. Same effect.
Hell, like I said before, even removing all words of power completely (real ones too) would have the same effect. Some subtle clues would have to be added to make it so ganking isn't simply a matter of getting 3 people to silently FS, but would be doable and I think far better.
But, for clarification, Im talking like a 2-3sec delay for .WOP text. Although, people would probably then start spamming regular text and keep abusing whatever bugs they are now to get around the built-in speech delay.
Eh, who am I kidding. Not even sure why I spent the time to make this post.
