[Gameplay] Using certain abilities to attack Baron

Lao Fu the Tiger··1 votes·383 views

There are certain abilities in the game that make killing baron rather difficult by introducing a delay between ability use and auto-attack.

What happens is these abilities (Such as Master Yi's Alpha Strike, Lee Sin's Resonating Strike, and sometimes Talon's Cutthroat) place the hitbox of the champion on top of Baron's now larger hitbox. After using such an ability, while the hitboxes are colliding, there is a noticeable delay between the time you use the ability and the next time you can auto attack. During this time, the computer is moving the hitboxes apart so they don't collide anymore.

It's a little hard to explain, but it's most noticeable with Master Yi's Q, I've found. You lose a precious 2-3 entire auto-attacks' worth of time every time you Q Baron as well as taking extra damage from Baron's attacks because there's over a full second delay sometimes before you can attack again after casting Q.

Steps to reproduce: a) Pick Master Yi. b) Wait for Baron to respawn (build some tankiness if you'd like to survive a little to see more clearly). c) Alpha Strike the purple bug. d) Try to auto attack baron immediately afterwards.
