Titanic Hydra active is incredibly buggy with high AS champions.

Hydra is meant to be an AA reset but it behaves oddly. There is such a huge delay between the active and the AA after it that it is most definitely slower than a normal auto attack. At very high AS it seems like it would be faster to just AA rather than use the active as an AA reset.

Super easy to recreate. I can feel the effect on Volibear with nothing but his frenzy buff and AS runes. He just stands there like an idiot for a full second after using the active, even with 1.50+ AS.

Edit: Since someone is already confused, let me be precise. Upon using the active, your next AA is incredibly late. You effectively lose AS moments after using the active. It's gamebreaking when you use the active and just stand still while your target gets away or kills you.

Don't really see the point of an auto attack reset when you have high AS already :O

Yes, certain AA-reset items are slower than certain high AS builds. These items are therefore much less efficient with those build. So don't build them.

I don't want all items to work up to their full potential with all other items. That would be bland. Some combo better than others, some (like this case) worse.

Might just be an issue with Volibear because I use Titanic on Eve after I use Ravage (E - Gives you 120% AS) & it doesn't stick or slow me down.
