Electrocute is glitched on Zed.

"3 seperate attacks or abilities"

You can proc electrocute if zed lands both q's and his e.

Q ability damage should count as 1 source of damage. Im so tired of this champion having all the benefits in the god damn game.

Electrocute DOES NOT work when Lux lands and ability + auto + passive damage, so why does it work when Zed lands a q from himself, shadow and his e?

I would appreciate a Riot response, because there's no god damn way this champ should get to abuse literally everything in the game.

It's not a bug. Q and shadow Q are different abilities. You had to cast Q W and E to land electrocute. How is that not 3 abilities?

because w is not a damaging ability, q damage is q damage, period.

the shadow is throwing a separate Q, they are the same skill but from a different source.

They are two different projectiles so it's possible for one to miss. It's the same as any other champion casting two abilities.

more like.. why should Lux be rewarded for just having to E and rightclick but Zed not for landing 2 different Qs at once?

Electrocute specifically states it has to be 3 unique sources of damage. Q damage is Q damage. Spell + auto + passive damage IS 3 unique soruces. Q damage is not

It are still 2 seperate instances of damage. The Zed shuriken and the shadow shuriken are technically not the same spell, they only get casted from the same button.

The interactions on auto attack bonuses was removed because it is just stupid if any champ with an auto attack bonus damage can proc it basically for free.

And if you want to tell me now that it is harder to E aa with Lux or Q aa one time with Teemo than to hit 2 Qs with Zed this conversation is over.

And the second Q is from his W. Three unique sources

Very interesting PoV and I get what you're saying. Eletro is the best mastery on Zed IMO and this is likely to upset those Zed players out there... sorry if you get down voted.

The way I believe Zed's shadow works is it creates another champ in the game temporarily (similar to when Illaoi pulls someones soul or Mordekaiser kills someone with his ult) but with special parameter attached to it (un-targetable, can't move, etc) but it's still doing damage coming from a source of him; Mordekaiser's ult, once a champion dies from it and are now his pet, still applies damage as if it came from him, so his Caitlyn pet would be able to proc electrocute.

Following this belief, a shuriken flying from Zed's shadow would be a separate ability. As such, it would count as a individual stack of electrocute respectively. As someone's who's played Zed, being able to proc your electrocute off of a properly timed combo is important for his damage but also a reflection of your skill.

In regards to electrocute not stacking off of a Lux ability+auto+passive, I believe this is because the game is treating the passive as an empower onto her auto attack, combining the two into one ability. Another example of this would be Varus, apply a blight mark with an auto and then triggering it with an ability, although I've not tested this so I am not sure.

I'm not a rioter and and this might not be the response you were wanting/the person you were wanting to respond, but I hope this was informative/helpful.
