Why can't Gangplank proc Stattik Shiv on barrels anymore?

Wasn't he able to proc Stattik Shivs lightning on barrels before?

I thought that I might've been remembering things wrong, but then I looked at this old video that I found, and it does appear that he was actually able to proc Shiv on barrels back when his rework was released: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J5jWdDeEu0

I'm not talking about the barrels proccing shiv, but rather you proccing shiv on the barrel itself, and spreading to targets around the barrel. He used to be able to, but now he can't, not even with basic attacks.

I just assumed that if Stattik Shiv could be procced on minions, monsters and champions, it would proc on barrels as well.

I also read through all the patch notes and changes to Gangplank, as well as the changes to Stattik Shiv, but I cannot find anything on not being able to proc Shiv on barrels anymore. I never noticed that it was removed, I just accidently found out when I was in practice tool.

I linked Gangplank's wiki page so you could look through the patch notes yourself on the history tab.

I'm not complaining, I just wanna know if it's a bug or if it's intentional. If it is intentional then please Riot; atleast let us know about it. If it's a bug, then I was hoping this post would spread awareness about it so that Riot could eventually fix it.

Thank you for reading.

if he could he would be overpowered

If you watch the video, he clearly could.

My problem isn't if he should be able to or not, my problem is the lack of communication from Riot about removing it, if that's what they did.

But if it's a bug, then spreading awareness of it could potentially get Riot to fix it.

It was a glitch. His Q is like an empowered auto attack. If he Q's the barrel, the spagetthi-code thought that it is a real enemy. It wasn't the barrel procing statik, but the Q. Obviously, that got fixed, as you can't see stuff like that anymore.

I know the barrel wasn't proccing it, but it could be procced on the barrel itself and splash to the targets around the barrel. And it's not just the Q, he can't proc it on barrels with basic attacks anymore either. I just thought that if you could apply it to minions, champions and monsters, you would be able to apply it to barrels too, you know? But if it was a bug, then it was never mentioned that it got fixed, and that's what bothers me.

would u have a problem if riot secretly took 5 ms off irelia without telling u?

First of all: No, because I don't play Irelia. Second of all: That wasn't a secret though, it's in the patch notes: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/patch-821-notes

that was sarcasm my friend.

Usually sarcasm has a point, I don't see any point in that comment, and it doesn't really relate to the post.

But thanks for commenting, I guess.
