[GAMEPLAY] Kayle's E doesn't count as 'Ranged' technically pre 11.

For instance, Runaan's doesn't work with E making the 'next basic ranged'.

Working as intended.

Not really, since it makes the next attack ranged, and Runaan's works in such a way against Ranged attacks. That's not how it should work.

Especially since Tiamat doesn't proc on E pre lvl 11... so is the auto attack neither ranged nor melee?

How do you manage to get enough Gold to buy a Runaan's pre-11 though?

First item Runaan's isn't that hard (I was in Practice Tool anyway). Then it's more of a this is obviously not coded as a ranged auto attack kind of thing even though the ability itself says it becomes ranged. You can definitely get 1 item (Rageblade for instance) before 11.

Rageblade for example jumps from 3 to 6 stacks for melee with 1 auto at 3 stacks.

At level 10, you'll jump from 3 to 6 stacks even when using E even though your AA is ranged.

An example of where it WORKS as it should... Tiamat, at lvls less than 6, your Tiamat will work on regular AAs, but it will not work on E buffed AAs.

I mean, making it count as a Ranged Basic Attack would be a disadvantage, rather than an advantage.

For example, let's say you're playing Grasp Kayle (for whatever reason).

Making your E count as a Ranged Basic Attack would leave you with less damage, healing, and permanent health.

On a side note, I don't know know if Grasp currently counts as a Melee or a Ranged hit for Kayle's E, as I haven't tested it.

I'm more of just mentioning it because I feel like Riot needs to do more work on being consistent. It's not coded as melee. It's not coded as ranged (even though it specifically says it becomes Ranged). It's all case by case coding which is a sub optimal way to do it.
