@RiotRepertoir. Major Bug on W stacking on Garen

LegenDariusGaren·1/11/2016, 12:02:20 PM·60 votes·7,016 views

Patch 5.16 W: Passively, Killing units permanently grants 0.25 Armor and Magic Resist (1 for kills on Champions, Large Monsters and Epic Monsters), to a maximum of 30 at all ranks.

Patch 5.17 W: Passive bonuses now stack twice as fast on alternate maps.

However, On Summoner's Rift, you only get 0.25 armor and magic resist for killing champions, large monsters and epic monsters. On alternate maps, you only get 0.5 armor and magic resist for killing champions, large monsters and epic monsters.

I tested it in a bot game, custom game, ARAM, normal, twisted treeline, and dominion and it fails to stack correctly on all of them.

Thanks for bringing this up. This does look like a bug relative to the expectations the patch notes set, but the in-game tooltip never reflected the increase on champions, large monsters, and epic monsters. I can fix this pretty easily, but I need to run it by the balance team and see if we think it's the right call, since there are power implications to the change.

I'll try to check back in with an answer when I have one.

I suspected the same thing playing ARAM. I'd kill minion after minion and only have like one or two bonus armor and magic resist from his W. Thanks for posting your findings. Hopefully they will work on this.

My life has been so very empty without jungle Garen.

Quick, downvote before Garen gets buffed!
