[Gameplay] Varus W base damage doesn't scale.

Varus' Blight detonation damage is not scaling with abilities rank. The base damage is locked at 2.5% max hp per blight stack, when it should scale from 3% to 5% max hp. This is a pretty significant amount of damage that is missing from Varus' combo.

The bug is easily demonstrated in the practice tool using target dummies:

  1. Add an enemy target dummy.
  2. Attack the dummy once with at least one (but less than 5) ranks in W.
  3. Pop the applied blight stack with W, Q, or R.
  4. Add one or more ranks to W.
  5. Repeat steps 2-3 and observe that the blight pop damage is unchanged.

That's not the only bug that consists with his W (I have made several threads in regards to multiple bugs due to his W on both Reddit and LoLBoards).

Other W bugs:

  • W - Blight Stacks don't detonate against Shielded targets.
  • W - Leveling up W for the first time in-game disables Critical Strike animations permanently.
  • W - and now W Blight Stack damage doesn't even scale.

Riot if you are reading this can you now please do something? We are getting more and more bugs every patch.

We also have a channel ability bug that effects not only Varus but Xerath, Vi or any other champion with a Channel Based Ability.

They should fix this bug instead of buffing his Q.
