Not like it matters too much, since you can just double the radius in your head. But it's a matter of common coutesy and not making people who don't want to do math do math.

...I'm still not getting this. At all. I don't see how in any instance diameter is easier to visualize. When I see a circle, I can find the center. When I look at an ability, I want to know the relationship between where I position it (The center, where I click) and the area it'll cover (radius). Diameter doesn't help that. As I've said, the ONLY use for diameter I can think up is figuring out the max distance that you can hit two people. That's it.

I hate to break it to you, but your way of visualizing circles is not the only way of doing it. I personally can better visualize a circle without a defined center using the diamater than the radius. Therefore, I think we should use diameter for these kinds of circles. But again, it really doesn't matter since R = .5D and therefore is easily calculated. It'd be nice for me and some others to have diameter, but there is no real point. It's just being courteous.
