Darius Q bug is the reason why he has such a high winrate!

5 Stacks GG·Aug 30, 2015·46 votes·18,926 views

so I was lvl 2 and i got ganked, I then spammed my Q key to heal myself and hopefully escape from the gank then suddenly my Q got casted twice giving me a bunch of health back twice so 60% of missing health since i got them both time on the blade, after i escaped I see that the jungler and the laner I just Q'ed had 5 stacks on them even tho they should only have 2.

that may be the reason why his wr is that high.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krq1xsXECDI&feature=youtu.be There a video of the bug watch carefully in the slowmo end of the video at 14 seconds he gets healed 2 times

Edit: adding another video

Many thanks for the video, those are always really helpful with stuff like this. We'll look into this Monday, completely agree that looks bugged and that it's the sort of thing that could be adding significant extra power.

Are you freaking kidding? People report about this bug for weeks and you've noticed it just today? Really? I remember similar threads even on PBE but who cares

RetillinAug 30, 20159 votes

Yeah... It kinda counters the idea that PBE is used for anything other than advertisements for new skins.

ArkenStormAug 30, 20151 votes

and yet people still complain about PBE feedback(see: skarner)

Nah. No one saw this coming. I'm talking about Skarner

ArkenStormSep 1, 20151 votes

I don't really follow, but if you are saying that nobody realized how strong skarner was, then you are wrong. everybody who actually played skarner was like "holy crap this guy is strong"

VelrexAug 31, 20151 votes

It's not just that, it's that a video adds much more context then a simple report.

Pf-f... Previous thread had videos as well.

Are you ever going to fix Kalista W on drag/baron and AAing when she is hard under CC/GA/Zi ult?

Avios1Aug 31, 20151 votes

I believe the PBE is really full of quiet and/or trolls/flamers that just like to try out things for free without noticing it being broken or not.

Tails DollAug 31, 20151 votes

They still report this bugs and then after they get shipped to live they still get reported. Yet nothing is done about this game breaking bugs.

MarkedOfKaneAug 30, 20154 votes

Its kind of weird how bugs such as that get into live when they have a server specifically for testing them out..

Mistress MadokaAug 30, 20158 votes

A server that at this point is populated by the same people who read the changes and complain on the boards without actually trying it out.

The same People who thought Morde Bot lane would be horrible The same people who thought Skarner's Update would be useless.

ArkenStormAug 30, 20154 votes

The reason people complained about Morde bot lane is because it's not what morde has been, what he should be(according to those who played him frequently), nor how he should work. It wasn't that it wouldn't be a strong pick, it was the forced change and identity/kit changes that was so irritating.

Also anyone who actually played skarner knew that he was stupid strong. Which was about half the people that posted on the PBE boards, but nobody listened to them.

Axis the DragonAug 30, 20154 votes

PBE players have been talking about this bug for a while, actually

People thought Morde would be terrible period, not because he's weak (his zones of power haven't really changed) but because his identity has been destroyed

The people that thought Skarner's update would be useless were right at the time. Then Riot buffed Skarner 3 times in a row over 3 consecutive PBE updates without even giving PBE players time to test each change individually. The Juggernaut patch went live shortly after.

Champion SkinAug 31, 20151 votes

And to be honest... Skarner hasn't really changed much... He is still the same ball of stat that runs at people and kill them by spamming Q

Though now his stun is quicker (one auto attack after landing E instead of needing to hit 3 abilities first) which does enable him to stun with his E and then quickly follow up with his R

Axis the DragonAug 31, 20151 votes

Well, yeah. That's why PBE players thought the remake would be terrible. Skarner still has all of the same problems as before, bandaged with a ball of stats. Except that, like Ryze, he has moments where he's unstoppable (i.e. never 1v1 Ryze with his passive up, never 1v1 Skarner if he's near a shrine). Also, Riot added the Spire bonus whenever he uses R or stuns someone with E->Auto, which I feel was somewhat unnecessary.

Champion SkinAug 31, 20151 votes

I knew Skarner got the buff from procing the stun on his E.. but I didn't know he got it from his ult as well (not that it is the most useful while using ult as the attack speed buff can't be used with R as it disables auto attacks)

Riot added it to allow skarner to accesses the power of his passive without being in range of one of the spires.. well I think that was the idea (or if he is behind and the enemy controls the spires)

(Well I suppose it also gives Skarner some more "counterplay" in that he loses a lot of his power if you are able to avoid his E)

Axis the DragonAug 31, 20151 votes

Yeah, because outside of his Spires, Skarner is basically just old Skarner, but with less stats. xD

True, but remember he still gets bonus movement speed, making ult pulling into his own team a lot more reliable. Also, Skarner+Kalista is a thing (yes, Kalista can ult a Skarner that has ulted someone LOL)

Champion SkinSep 1, 20151 votes

Though his spires are pretty insane... 150% attack speed, 100 ms and almost infinite mana...

Or something else that can be fun Skarner + Nunu.. simply wait for someone to walk near Skarner then Nunu ults as Skarner pull them into Nunu's ult (Works even better on TT because well removing 1/3 of the enemy players is better then 1/5 and there are usually more melee champions there and no wards)

Axis the DragonSep 2, 20152 votes

Skarner -> Thresh Lantern is funny too, you should try it sometime =P

Raid Boss MordeAug 31, 20151 votes

I'm a PBE player, and I played the heck out of Mordekaiser on the PBE. I never said he was weak, but I thought that changing his identity was the worst idea they could implement for him. No one said he would be terrible... most people, including myself, are frustrated that he can only go bot lane to do well.

IGotScuttleCrabsAug 30, 20151 votes

I'm pretty sure it's just for people like Brofresco to make money on youtube while also advertising the new stuff.

EasterGooseAug 30, 20151 votes

This explains so much. I thought it was just a visual bug until I did 300 damage at once at level 4.

Also any chance we can fix the Woad King Darius W bug?

BakedLotionAug 30, 20151 votes

I ganked a level 5 darius as zed, with a gp on my team, and i ulted him thinking he would die, since he was like 50 hp. He Q'd my gp and healed for like 30% with one cast(i didnt get hit), fucking insane

SlampieceHawkeAug 30, 20151 votes

Pretty sure this happened to me too. Darius Q me, I go from 60% to 0% w/ defensive ball curl activated and armor stacked out the whazooo. NOT OK Rammus

MetalGearTeemuAug 31, 20151 votes

And yet this board still argues with me when i say Darius is the one you have to look out for.

As far as I can tell the doublecast bug only seems to happen when you're under CC, possibly related to when 2 crowd control effects overlap while you're winding up Decimate. I haven't had much luck reliably reproducing it tho.

VozzoAug 31, 20151 votes

I saw that bug too. Sometimes, his Q strikes twicely. It looks like the 1st strike doesnt need "time to spin", it comes instantly. The second one is natural Q.

I think u guys have just forgot to delete some parts of Darius Q's code.
