[GAMEPLAY] Twitch - Venom Cask not applying stack of Deadly Venom on landing

cfsm·Feb 9, 2017·2 votes·862 views

EDIT: Updated with clip in first comment below.

Enemy champions standing at edge of, but within, the Venom Cask indicator when it first lands are slowed but do not always receive a stack of Deadly Venom.

The ability states that enemies struck when the cask first lands will receive a stack of Deadly Venom.

This can be seen at 6:12-13 of the linked match. Zyra is slowed, indicating she is within the cask area, but does not receive a stack of Deadly Venom.

I have been given a clip with evidence of this:

Lee Sin is slowed but doesn't receive a stack of the venom.

From what I can see, he received 3 debuffs, one for the Venom Cask slow, one (which seems) deadly venom stack and one death fire touch stack (from Rumble), so from my very weak eyes it seems like it is working. Maybe the visual is messed up, but I do believe (if you zoom in really hard on the top left corner) that he did receive he deadly venom.

Hey

The 3 debuffs are (from left to right):

DFT (rumble)
Harpoon (rumble)
Venom cask slow (twitch)

There isn't any poison debuff, which has a distinct appearance and a stack count. As further evidence poison wasn't applied, you can see that Twitch can't cast E although he should be within range.
