[GAMEPLAY] Two Jungle Bugs Related to Patience
-
If the first damage you deal to a camp happens while untargetable, such as smiting during Master Yi Q or Fizz E before landing, and is over 10% max HP of the camp's big monster, the big one will ignore you and infinitely reset. This is terrible early game, as they are unkillable, but sort of useful for damage junglers lategame as they can deal more damage than resetting will reset without taking damage. You can replicate this 100% of the time with correct timing.

I'm not exactly sure how this happened, but I will put exactly what happened and what I think caused it. 2.1. I was AP Shaco top and was leashing my jungler at Krugs and red at the same time. Krugs went without a hitch, but... 2.2. I placed a single box at red and started tanking after it died. My jungler started to come over just as my box died, so I kited it back to just inside maximum patience range. 2.3. Upon switching targets, it lost half its patience instead of the normal amount and continued to lose patience until it reset. 2.4. After fully resetting, it kept losing patience upon anyone aggroing it, about its entire patience bar over 5 seconds.
I think red buff thought that my box still should have its aggro, so it was losing patience every time it aggroed onto something else, then tried to aggro onto my dead box, and kept doing that. I'm not sure if that's what actually happened in code, but that's what I think happened. I'm not sure how easy this is to replicate, as I've only seen this once and have not tried to replicate it.
