[Gameplay] Potential Bug for Bond of Stone @Riot

commit an hero·Dec 14, 2015·1 votes·982 views

I was playing Blitzcrank while running Bond of Stone. I was top lane with my Wukong and were running from this Lee Sin. I am a good distance from the Wukong but close enough for Bond of Stone to work. The Lee Sin autos the Wukong and Black Cleaver was applied to me when I was nowhere near Lee Sin. This seems like a pretty big deal.

tl;dr Black Cleaver stacks are being applied when you have someone near you with Bond of Stone. While not actually taking the damage from them.

This seems like it's working as intended to me.

Lee Sin deals physical damage to Wukong, and since you were close enough to the Wukong for Bond of Stone to work, 6% of that damage is instead dealt to you. This damage is still being dealt by the Lee Sin, so you are indeed taking damage from him, which would apply the Black Cleaver stacks.

The problem with this concept is that it hampers the support and gives the damaging champion something for nothing. Would Iceborn Gauntlet also apply the Ice Zone to the support? Should I also be bleeding from Grievous Wounds, and all of the other effects he could apply? To me, this unnecessarily cripples the support champion. I'm already taking damage for someone, and now I'm getting hit with all of their negative effects too.

Further, it makes it incredibly difficult for me to get from where I am to where they are, and all along the way, I can actually hamper unrelated champions when the ice zone goes off on me and slows people near me. Now those champions are also suffering, despite not being involved in the action.
