Hi, it's yo salty sona main here had to finally make post on this issue. Pretty self explanatory title (***I meant vanishing power chord stack that I should get for using E/W after empowered autoattack), steps to reproduce:

Get two power chord stacks
Stand next to enemy you are about hit (less than 300-400)
In very quick succession do: Q->AA->W/E More on video. I wonder how many times I've died thanks to this :D literally unplayable pls fix

I'm failing to see what's the problem. I see you getting the chord and triggering it on the next auto. Am I missing something?

after triggering I use spell (either E/W), for which I should get power chord stack.

You're charging 2 stacks on Powerchord, then slamming Q -> AA in rapid succession. Hitting Q is granting you the Power Chord, which you are expending with the attacks following using Q. If you look at your own video, you will see the Power Chord Blue ring appear around you when you cast the Q near the enemy, which is expended with your next attack.

I see that now. The only thing I have for you is that you're probably doing it too fast for the system to register expending the Chord and restacking simultaneously.

It's actually range issue, notice how I first moved as far as I could (autoattack range) and I got the stack, then I moved as close as I could and I didn't got the stack. It's pretty weird tho

It's a speed issue because when you're in close range, your attacks hit the target faster (not as far to travel), so there could be an overlap in the processing of autoattack, Powerchord hitting, and reapplying the next one in such rapid succession.

I thought at first it's power chord travel speed issue but going this train of thought if I am further the power chord travel time is longer then when I am close range and I thought maybe using next spell so quickly couldn't add next stack because power chord isn't used yet (still traveling) but it's actually quite opposite, only when using spell->power chord->spell close range there seem to be problem.
