can Expose Weakness stack with multiple champions taking it?

Fibrillous·Feb 25, 2016·21 votes·3,311 views

so if all 5 players on a team have expose weakness and all attack one target, do they each then deal 12% extra damage or are they all at 3%? I would assume the latter, but just checking

upvoted because this is a serious concern. Otherwise could totally end up wasted if you want to grab it on an aoe mid like brand and your jungle malphite also thought to grab it (Malph would be applying it and yours would only help malph...after he already used his engage and most his damage)

Something I'd like to know is if it works on stuff like Singed's poison trail. Singed could theoretically poison an entire team. Would that mean that everyone that is poisoned takes 3% more damage from Singed's allies?

Or karthus.. If he's ulting, does the entire enemy team takes +3% damage from Karthus' allies?

It works just like it used to.

When you damage an enemy they take 3% from ally damage sources.

When an ally damages an enemy you deal 3% increased damage to the marked enemy from all damage sources.

When two allies damage the same enemy each ally deals 3% additional damage to that enemy - not 6%

So no, if all 5 of your team members have this mastery and all hit the same target the enemy will take 3% increased damage from every member of the enemy team, not some cumulative ~12%

The only benefit of multiple people having this is that, same as any aura item, you all get the effects but they do not stack.

Season 4 or 5 had a 1% mastery that worked exactly like this.

Thats a massive error on Riots part then. If you personally cant benefit from this mastery, then how do you even know if your team is taking it? It may as well be the "ap supports pick this one" mastery if there is really going to be no fix to that.

If you did benefit from it, no one would ever take DES instead. I actually think Expose Weakness sounds too strong relative to DES which has a risk element and is only for one person.

It's not even just for supports. Pretty much any AoE mage with low CDs or DoT should take it.

I was wondering this too, also with Bond of Stone.

bond of stone only works with one person (buff only shows up once) Found this out with hide and seek because most people were taking it as hiders XD

I want to know if a Luden's/Runic Echoes proc. will apply Expose Weakness since it applies spell effects.

Other Masteries do this so why wouldnt it?

Better yet does it stack multiplicatively if everyone takes it, so is it (4)*3%=12% extra damage or (1.03)^(5)-1=12.56% extra damage Because if it's multiicatively, Assuming you have full stacked bounty hunter (5%) people will be taking 18% extra damage in masteries alone.
