[GAMEPLAY] Poppy's W does not negate the damage on Hecarim's E

When playing Poppy, if you successfully negate the dash on Hecarim's E, he will be knocked back as intended, however, the damage will still go off.

  1. Use your W as Poppy
  2. Have Hecarim dash into you while your W is active (with minimal distance travelled)

I get that the damage isn't tied to his dash and that it is actually tied to his auto attack that gains bonus range based on distance travelled. I also get that at max distance travelled with his e, he can get up to 250 attack range which brings his attack range up to 425 which is longer than Poppy's 400 range on her W. However at short range, he can only really get around 50 - 100 range on his auto attack which isn't enough to bring his auto attack range above 400 however he still deals out his damage to Poppy regardless, meaning Poppy will essentially give him an attack range buff for blocking his dash... which makes absolutely no sense.

Hecarim sure is an odd champion.

EDIT: Apparently no one can read properly lol, I'm happy to be proven wrong but if you're going to bother commenting at all, read the ENTIRE THING PLEASE.

DISCLAIMER: I KNOW POPPY DOESN'T BLOCK AUTO ATTACK DAMAGE. THAT'S NOT THE POINT :)

When a melee autoattack completes its animation startup, it deals damage. It doesn't matter what happens to the attacker afterward. If there's any dash to block at all, it's because the startup is done and the target has been guaranteed to suffer the autoattack. Devastating Charge doesn't care if its leap is longer or shorter than Poppy's bubble; it only cares that Poppy is a target that can be autoattacked.

i'm not sure how many times i have to say this before it gets into your head but here we go.

THE AUTO ATTACK SHOULD ATTACK AT IT'S INTENDED RANGE, IT SHOULDN'T INCREASE BECAUSE OF POPPY'S BUBBLE.

I think this is intended as Hecarim gains a maximum of 450 auto attack range EXTRA. Poppy's W radius is 400, meaning he can have up to 625 auto attack range, which extends past her W.

I still do not understand what the "bug" is supposed to be. Is Hecarim somehow attacking your bubble instead of having to target Poppy? When he's knocked back, is he standing outside your bubble after the knockback despite not having enough windup distance on E for that charge to have reached Poppy's body?

Poppy's w doesn't stop auto attack damage. It does stop the charge, but it's not a Pantheon passive. Working as intended
