About Reworked Leblanc Mimics

So not sure if this was discussed before, but after playing around with Leblanc in customs I decided to test out some post-rework mimic interactions with respect to the mimics...:

  1. Applying no auto-attack damage like old mimics.
  2. (As an extension to the first point) Not benefiting from critical strike chance.
  3. Applying on hit effects like old mimics.

I found that when I commanded my mimics (excluding the uncontrollable RR mimic) to perform auto-attacks against targets, the attacks actually applied physical damage! However the damage was lower than my regular AA damage (seems to do about 90% of my regular auto attack damage for some reason). Mimic auto attacks could also crit, but do not receive additional damage. Pics of some tests please excuse crappy quality.

They also applied on-hit effects as expected, but I don't believe the clone benefits from Leblanc's magic pen. I noticed reduced damage on the Lich Bane spellblade procs for my clone than myself when I had runes+masteries mpen, but when I tried again with no magic pen the spellblade procs did the same amount of damage for both myself and the clone. Don't have pics of this one atm.

This would be easier to show in a video but my fps in game absolutely tanks when recording. In any case it seems like Lich Bane Leblanc might actually be situationally more useful now than before if you can micro the mimic auto while doing your thing. And those special snowflake on-hit/ADC Leblancs have an extra excuse to make your enemies' life bars disappear in cruel and unusual ways (provided that this is intended...).
