Rengar Bug - Regular Q grants Attack Speed

Sooo, I may not be the most popular guy for pointing this one out but..

I've noticed that Rengar's normal Q attack will grant bonus attack speed for one basic attack on top of the listed benefits in the tooltip.

I remember Scruffy saying he would test out this mechanic to help Rengar's early jungle clear, but as far as I know it wasn't supposed to actually go in the final kit. Since this isn't actually listed in the tooltip I figure it must be a bug.

Honestly I'd consider keeping it since its actually quite neat.

You get the Attack Speed buff as soon as you activate the ability and it will stay on you for 2 basic attacks (the first enhanced basic attack plus one normal attack). This does mean that the Attack Speed boost will be gained even on Structures.

I should also note that this Steroid will stack with the Attack Speed Steroid from his Enhanced Q.

Reporduction steps:

  • Pick Rengar
  • Use Q
  • Observe Attack Speed

Edit (20-06-14): To clarify I'm not referring to the attack reset that occurs. Its a literal hidden +x% attack speed buff.

Thanks for the report. That attack speed bonus for a single attack's deliberately there to ensure the regular Q is quick/responsive. A few other champions use the same approach (Vi's E from memory for example).

Does the % AS show up in the stats area? If not, could you get this bug on video and post it here?
