According to the original announcement it could stack infinitely. Now it has changed to a cap of 254. This is all well and good, however according to the ability text on the PBE spears disappear after four seconds ( http://www.surrenderat20.net/2014/11/114-pbe-update.html ). Given a max AS of 2.5 attacks per second, this would cap at ten spears plus one for her Q. So a question for anyone that has played her: Do auto attacks reset the timer or is this actually the max stacks?

GanksLikeGast0n1 votesJawesome, thank you much!
Marthian1 votesdo note. You are realistically never going to hit the cap.
GanksLikeGast0n1 votesOh of course not. But you see it's the principle of the thing. And the ability to extended trade in fights. If spears didn't refresh she would be forced to build almost pure AS, which has diminishing returns on her passive.
Fed by Snu Snu1 votesSo, what exactly makes 254 balanced and "infinite" broken and it needed to change?
Marthian1 votesit was actually capped at 100 (when they said infinite). That said, both numbers are highly unlikely to be reached in actual gameplay anyways. Even Sion's Health, Veigar's AP, and Thresh's Armor/AP cap out at some point because programming (although a stupid high number you will still never reach in actual gameplay unless everyone hates themselves.)
