[Gameplay] Xin Q continuously applies to inhibitors

I Have OBCD·Jul 2, 2016·1 votes·403 views

As Xin, activating your Q while taking an inhibitor (and probably Nexus but did not test) applies the bonus damage from Q but doesn't use a stack, allowing Xin to get a ton of extra damage when taking inhibitors.

Attack inhibitor with normal autos and note damage
Activate Q and attack more than 3 times
Note the increased damage until your Q times out

Are you sure it applies the extra damage, not counting the initial triforce proc? I know lots of champions who's spells that modify autoattacks get consistently reset but not actually apply the damage (Draven, Viktor). This is to prevent certain champions from bursting down towers like Draven juggling axes and Viktor's low Q CD, but also to not force them to choose between taking objectives and making best use of their prepared spells.

If it does actually apply the increased damage (Mind the initial triforce proc if built, and any time he casts a spell after for any other triforce procs), then that is a bug. However, I have a feeling you misinterpreted Triforce or the increased damage he deals because of his attack speed steroid.

Yeah I'm sure, and I didn't have a triforce or anything at the time, it was an attackspeed build. I went from doing 120s to doing 210s a good 10 times before the Q timed out, which definitely sped up the inhib kill. Also, his W damage doesn't apply to the inhib.

I meant the active portion, the AS increase. Didn't want you to misunderstand increased streams of damage as increased damage per hit. And if that's the case, may be a bug. I'd test it again personally. Watch auto damage before and after closely.

Recorded in a custom, the gyazo gif cut short (I have nothing better to record with sorry) but you can clearly see the buff not changing as I q'd. https://gyazo.com/5850f52180b2458a00dd355140748530
