[Gameplay] Gangplank's "Poison" and Cassiopeia's Twin Fang

Eeyore·1/20/2015, 11:07:17 AM·15 votes·2,803 views

Gangplank's Grog Soaked Blade has recently started using the poison particle effect (could have been last patch - I honestly don't remember seeing it before). However, it does not count as poison for Cassiopeia's Twin Fang (unlike Twitch, Singed, Teemo and Gromp, which DO count). I had an annoying game of ARAM where my Twin Fang would keep going on cooldown in fights despite targets appearing poisoned (because the particle effect is the same as mine).

BUG: Either Gangplank needs a bespoke (unique) particle effect or his poison needs to count as poison.

  1. Create a game with Gangplank and Cassiopeia on the same team.
  2. Gangplank attacks/Parrrleys a target. Observe the poison particle effect above a target's head and the word "poison" in the debuff tooltip.
  3. Cassiopeia uses Twin Fang on the same target. Observe that Twin Fang is not put on reduced cooldown.

Frequency: Every time.

Wait really? When did this happen?

This had to have been this patch, I have never noticed this.

Edit: Ya know, the passive actually being poison.

If this is true, that's a pretty bad bug. Riot should disable Cass until it is fixed.

perhaps it's time that Anivia's E finally have similar interaction with other chilled slow effects too?

Bump 'cause it's still using the poison spell effect but doesn't work with Cassiopeia. I've since had another game with Cassiopeia and Gangplank, and it's annoying. Q_Q

Gangplank the Saltwater Trundle.

It really should count as poison for Cass. Not sure why riot wouldn't make it so.

I actually played gangplank the other day and noticed this, didn't see it in the patch notes..Definitely needs to be addressed.
