Akali q proc and e both don't deal damage sporadically.

Pierce The Veal··2 votes·680 views

So these may be two separate bugs, or one and the same, but here are the issues:

  1. On occasion, when you autoattack a target with the q mark on them, it won't actually trigger the mark. It appears to occur most often if you auto attack shortly after the proc appears on the enemy champion, but I have seen it also occuring if you auto attack immediately when you get out of your ult (using a similar animation canceling trick as that with riven and her autos, especially).

  2. Her e won't deal damage on occasion, appears to especially occur at the farther reaches of her e. If they are standing instead it, but at its maximum range it appears to not deal damage often enough to make it game breaking. I have, however, had this happen even when the enemy units are almost on top of me, so I am not 100% sure what the problem is.

Thanks for your hard work @Riot.

  1. Never happened to me, probably lag
  2. maps are 3D so probably it's a fault of camera angle?

  1. Not possible, lag should be making it so that by the time I auto the mark should already be there. You need to be really fast with the proc.

  2. It's not a matter of camera angle, I can guarantee that. There are even a few videos where the enemy champion is clearly inside the circle that is generated by a few akali skins, it is very apparent that what should be hitting isn't. The range on her e is larger than her auto range, and there are many cases where I could auto, but I press e and it does 0 damage for some reason.

Q projectile speed is slow, and animation can be misleading sometimes, so even if you did see the animation of Q hitting the target, you still have to wait slightly before you AA.

For E, you need to have video proof. There needs to be a solid way to reproduce the bug.

I play Akali only, and I don't have the issues you are describing.

I also play akali mostly, and have been since season 4. Her q was slow, but never did it not proc 1 second after it was applied.

Here's another bug report with video proof of the e.

In fact it was you who submitted it. The e just doesn't seem to hit in multiple cases.

Yes, indeed I submitted that report. It was another player that posted the video and I wanted to make it aware to other players as well. However, I can't seem to reproduce the bug.

As for the Q, I have yet to see that happening.

The only other bug that is solid and reproducible I am aware of is the Shadow Dance dash speed bug which was introduced by the strikethrough.

The e bug seems to occur while some dashing is going on. That or it's completely random and Riot has some spaghetti code to fix.

If you know how to animation cancel the last part of your ultimate into an auto attack, you should be able to reproduce this bug. That's when the q not procing occurs most often (even though the physocal damage from the auto did proc).

How do you animation cancel Akali's ultimate?

Right click then attack move click at the very end of it. It will stil deal the damage but it will cause you to auto attack at the same exact time.
