[GAMEPLAY] Face of the Mountain Passive not activating properly.

Tysius··2 votes·614 views

My friend and i were playing as Gangplank and Wukong both with Face of the Mountain. While trying to apply the Face of the Mountain passive (Gold given to team-mate), Gangplank with lower Q (Parrrley) damage than Wukongs Q (Crushing Blow). Gangplank would apply the passive on minions of same HP that Wukong could not.

In short - A Gangplanks weaker Q would apply the passive where Wukongs stronger Q would NOT apply the passive.

Also: The Execute damage in the description of Face of the Mountain was listed as being "603" for me (Wukong), though even on minions with less than 603 HP, it would not apply the passive with either his Q (Crushing Blow) or Basic Attacks.

On the League of Legends Wiki, it describes the Face of the Mountain as having a flat amount of Execute damage: "UNIQUE – SPOILS OF WAR: Melee basic attacks execute minions below 400 Health.". I'm not sure if the Wiki is correct with that information, but it would make much more sense than the actual item description.

The execute health threshold is affected by the bonus damage from critical strikes and other autoattack modifiers (like Gangplank's Parrrley), but not from Sheen.


Also, I almost instinctively downvoted this before opening it due to assuming it was yet another "Thresh Cannot Proc Execute" thread.

I think I may have an issue.

I'm pretty sure you're correct, but we were chatting via Skype and testing in a custom game. The Wukong's Q was definitely dealing higher damage.

Haha, i've had to explain that exact same thing to so many people. XD

I've edited my post. I Included a post from the wiki which will hopefully clear it up.

Perhaps Wukong's Q is treated differently in this matter than Gangplank's Q.

I'm guessing that's the case, which is where the bug lies that i'm trying to report XD

Wukong's Q is an autoattack modifier, so should still apply the execute from FotM passive.

I know it's a trivial thing, but i solely play ARAM's and it can be quite handy to have on there on a broader horizon of champions than SR.

Thanks for the input though, mate! I appreciate your help :)

I feel your pain.

Face of the mountain only activates on melee AA's. Gangplank can activate it because his Q acts like a melee aa in every way. The best way to know if this is intentional is to see if a wu Q applies hyrda passives.

I can confirm Wukong's Q applies Tiamat, Titanic Hydra and Ravenous Hydra. Hence why i believe it should also apply Targon's/Face of the Mountain passive.
