[GAMEPLAY] Warlord's Bloodlust not functioning on structures with Rapid Firecannon

Duckmaster·Jul 27, 2017·2 votes·505 views

The keystone mastery Warlord's Bloodlust does not function on structures, even when you have Rapid Firecannon. Warlord's Bloodlust is described as an energized attack, and Rapid Firecannon's description states that it allows energized attacks to function on structures. Nowhere does it state that ONLY the damaging portion of an energized attack may function on structures, and Warlord's Bloodlust is a heal, NOT lifesteal, meaning that it either should definitely be working against turrets with Rapid Firecannon, OR if the interaction is intended the tooltip should be updated to clarify this inconsistency.

well it's a tower. I wouldn't expect you steal life from a non living structure and neither did riot when they probably changed it along with wards. if the speed boost is not working that's another matter but no lifesteal works on towers and warlord's is no different.

That's all good and fine if you want to talk about what it SHOULD do. I'm not arguing that, im saying there's a disparity between what reading the tooltip would tell you, and what actually playing would inform you. A disparity that shouldn't exist and should be rectified.

I think they put it under their "common sense" clarity updates. translating roughly to "we hope people kind of assume you can't steal life from rocks so we're not gonna bother telling anyone about that because vandiril does such a good job anyway."

Don't forget about Malphite

In all seriousness, not everybody has common sense, either in the sense of them actually reading the tooltip or assuming that this specific instance of lifesteal applies to towers unlike all the others. Besides, it's a charged effect like item 3087 and item 3094 , and hell, I thought Shiv worked on towers until I checked a minute ago.

That's the thing, shiv DOES work on towers when you have rapid firecannon. Rapidfire makes it so that something that DIDN'T work on towers now DOES. I would hope that would be a constant across the board UNLESS NOTED OTHERWISE. And again, Warlords is not lifesteal. It is health gain. Lifesteal is a stat, warlords is an effect.

And yet, there goes irelia, gaining health from her w while hitting structures.
