Irrefutable proof that Lucian passive did count as 2 stacks for the original Rageblade.
If you skip to anywhere after 46:00 minutes in the first video, you will see that Lucian passive did stack the original rageblade twice, because Lucian passive does count as 2 individual basic attacks.
The original and current rageblade only counts on-attacks as a stack, but as you can see in the video, Lucian passive did stack the original one twice.
For the item reference.... V0.9.25.21 Added Guinsoo's Rageblade item Guinsoo's Rageblade Recipe: Pickaxe item Pickaxe + Blasting Wand item Blasting Wand + Gold 400 On attack or spell cast, increases your attack speed by 4% and ability power by 6. Lasts 5 seconds (stacks up to 8 times).
Further proof that Lucian passive is actually 2 attacks is in his champ spotlight. Skip to 00:50 of the video and you hear the narrator stating this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rIiuLXXGEg&t=52s
Even more evident is the way Lucian passive stacks
and Fleet foot. His passive stacks them twice. These items also count on-attack as a stack (the same as rageblade), yet rageblade for some reason only gets 1 stack from Lucian passive.
So why is riot pretending that suddenly Lucian passive is not 2 attacks, but 1 attack with 2 on-hit effects? This is a blatant lie to prevent Lucian from really using Rageblade.
Riot needs to make his passive consistent in the way it stacks all items. Either its stacks
and Fleet foot once, or all of them twice.
Hell, even the new
counts Lucian passive as 2 stacks...
His passive should at no point stack
any differently than
or Fleet foot.
