Malphite can "Save" w for later by stopping the first w attack midway agiasnt a monster, minion or tower, and then the effect will trigger on his next basic attack nomatter how long you wait, this also means that you can attack (first W attack will activate) and then you can use w agian to do the first w basic attack agian. Although this isnt the most important bug, it could definetly be exploited by people. How to do the bug

  1. Use w
  2. Basic attack, but then move at almost the same time you basic attack
  3. Wait until your normal five seconds of empowered basic attacks run out (Dont do anything)
  4. Now you can basic attack any target for an empowered attack, meaning you can basicly use w twice

In terms of how difficult this is to pull off, well i whould say 7/10 times you try you can pull it off as long as you have praticed it for a bit. This is how it looks when you stop the attack https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638738773605351437/642101409071759409/unknown.png and in this one you can see me using the saved w https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/638738773605351437/642102142659854347/unknown.png

So the 1st W actually registers or not?

The first basic attack does not register until your next attack, so you can do this to an redbuff or some other monster without you even taking damage.

But then if the 1st W doesn't register what exactly is the issue? You're merely canceling it. It's an empowered attack and since you didn't attack anything it'll work the next time you attack someone. I mean I don't play Malph tbh. Was it supposed to be timed and if you do this it becomes permanent until you hit something? Is that the issue?

Yeah, it was supposed to be timed. Also, you could make his e last 10 seconds instead of lasting 5.

The AS debuff? Or what do you mean?

SpysGreed1 votes

I meant w not e btw. His w makes his attacks also deal damage in a cone and deals a bit more damage to the target for the 5 second duration. Which is why it lasting 10 seconds could be very op in a Armor/Attack speed deck.

I thought that might've been the case lol. So you 'save it' and that puts it on cooldown right? Then you get to use your delayed W and by that time it'll be off cooldown and you get to use it again when it expires. I assume that's how it goes.

Yup

Sweet, secret mechanics. Might be a bug but nothing game breaking so it might be a while until we hear about this one in the patch notes if ever since they got plenty on their hands right now.

Whould it be exploiting if you use the bug though?

Ashe mage AD1 votes

I wouldn't worry about it, if it's that much of an issue let them fix it I say.

Heyo friends! Just letting you know that I put a fix in for this bug. Should be going live in the next patch.
