Re: new conqueror
I've been tinkering with new Conqueror on the PBE somewhat and have seen some misunderstandings about how exactly it works, so I figured I'd provide what I've found so far.
-
DoTs. This one seems to be the thing everyone is super concerned about, and having tested four different champions with DoT abilities (Brand, Darius, Malzahar, and Cassiopeia) I can say that the DoT neither adds stacks for its ticks or maintains your existing stacks. If the DoT is on an active ability, it will provide a single stack for hitting the ability, but those stacks will fall off with the usual timer, often while the DoT itself is still active.
-
Pets. There aren't many pets in the game but I only tested one so far, Malzahar voidlings. They do not provide or refresh stacks, even on the first hit from the pet. I assume Tibbers, specifically, will provide one stack if you hit someone with the initial damage, although I have not tested this. These two combined pretty much kill any possibility of Conqueror Malzahar and seriously limit its usefulness on Yorick.
-
Multi-hit abilities. An ability that is one cast but hits multiple times (such as Sejuani W or Vel'koz W) only provides on stack, even if multiple hits land.
-
Multi-cast abilities. An ability that can be cast multiple times (Like Aatrox and Riven Q) will provide one stack for each cast, provided you hit a champion with each cast.
-
x-hit passives. I haven't thoroughly tested this, but I can say that vel'koz passive does not provide a stack when it procs. Given the previous trends, I would not be surprised if this applied to all x-hit passives.
-
Multi-auto passives. This is pretty much just Yi and Lucian, but their passives provide them with two stacks when they activate, being two separate autos and all.
if you hit multiple champs? prob only one stack... and how does it work with
? does the phantom hit passiv give an stack?
's multiple hits with a soldier and multiple soldier hittings? I feel like this would be hella broken if it worked.
's seems like it can stack AND refresh, so yeah, I hope she gets some reaaaaaal nerfs since she already deserved some
