i feel like sometimes depending on how much atk speed and damage you have built it is, especially if you cant hit in the outer damage ring, im just unsure of what situations that it could be a loss over just auttoing
datfatguy5 votesIsn't that ability called windshield wipers?
xevi2 votesThat's good tho. It forces the Camille player to make choices between the utility of the W or the damage of her autos and rewards the player for properly executing the play (in this case, hitting the enemy with the outer ring of her w.
RisenDarkKnight1 votesYeah if you build multiple damage items it is a DPS lost, but the benefit is you can back up out of auto range while casting it, and the slow helps you chase or run away.
Usually if you are ahead you need the slow to help you get kills, and if you are even or behind you don't' want to just keep continuously autoing, you want to go in and trade when you have your Q up and can get a sheen proc. So you Q1, W, then Q2 for true damage. You back off so you hit with the outer cone in between your Qs so that the enemy melee isn't hitting you, but you can go back in and hit them with the slow from W.
But yeah if you are just trying to kill someone who isn't running as fast as possible, W is a waste after the early game.
Magimodeller1 votesNormally I think it does, since it compensates with the slow, heal and avoiding being dealt some damage back. In the inner ring it certainly is if you don't have it at max rank. If you do have it max rank, if you can hit more than 185+(0.6 ad) in 1.5-2 seconds with autos it is a dps loss.

Same is the reasoning for why her Q has a delay for max damage.
MissingKayo1 votesIt trades immediate DPS for stickiness via the slow + the delay she needs to be able to catch up and hit them with her true damage Q2 which requires a prerequisite 1.5 second delay.
Weathered1 votesI see it as a decision for either heal or DPS late game.
