Kassadin W and Towers

RIP Tahm Kench··10 votes·1,582 views

So Kass's W gives him passive magic damage on hit for his auto attacks, and that damage applies versus towers. That's fine, the problem comes when he activates his W on a tower, he actually loses the passive damage and can't get it back until the AA buff expires.

It always happens to me in ARAM where I think that because the passive damage works on towers, the active will to; but because it's not the case, I think either active aa's should still deal passive damage against the tower while the active is up, or the active should just deal it's damage (not recommended).

lets change things so people who are really stupid feel no impact from their stupidity at all.

also, i think on your screen, all the area where you might be in danger of death should be colored red with warning signs

Because removing the needlessly complex interactions with towers is dumbing the game down" (which I'm actually all for). If I want to use W for an auto attack reset on towers, I shouldn't be punished arbitrarily.

if i miss a skillshot because i thought its a target spell, i want my cooldown and mana back and not be punished for it because i simply didnt know it was a skillshot.

The epitome of slippery slope fallacy right here.

no lol, that would imply that one thing follows on another one, but my "change" wouldnt inevitably follow on yours, but it is rather a synonym of what you say.

you say that you make a mistake because you didnt know a certain thing, and instead of remembering it, you rather want a failsafe so people without brain will not be punished for NOT KNOWING something.

i simply made an example where someone gets punished for not knowing something too. its the same thing, not a result of yours.

its like you say "all green things should be banned because i dont like green" and i say "all red things should be banned because i know a guy who knows a guy who once mentioned red isnt his favorite color"

also, its not a needless interaction as you say. it still gives you the auto attack reset but it "wastes" the active part, except if you attack a minion or so once. its a tradeoff you make for the extra auto attack you get, and even if it doesnt give you any benefit because you lose the passive, just dont use it against towers? i mean, you could make the same example with everything really. i used my ziggs ult on a tower but it did no damage, please refund cooldown. such complex interaction to know that it doesnt harm towers, i want my money back.

kass does need buffs so maybe split push kassadin could become a thing hard too catch and can seige well

Sorry if I necro but for me, when I uses my W on tower, it does applies to bonus and I was doing MASSIVE damage to the tower without consuming the buff. Bug, no?
