Can PBE Conqueror be a little more accessible please

Garen E only gets 1 stack and it won't refresh it either
Minions (Yorick ghouls) do not stack or refresh
Illaoi can only get 1 stack from tentacles on walls regardless of how many are hitting and she will NEVER get more from tentacles until Conqueror expires; weirdly, she can get 2 stacks if it hits the spirit and the champion.*
Attack modifiers spells don't add an extra stacks (but a fully charged Dead Man's Plate does?)

And yet Riven can roll up on me and have Conqueror ready before she's halfway done with her combo. And despite multihit spells like Garen spin, not working for it, Urgot W gets to be an exception to the rule and can stack Conqueror in ~1.2 seconds assuming he ONLY uses W and nothing prior.

I'd like a little consistency, please. My champions getting janked out of a rune that should cater to them is annoying.

They stated that they don't want AoE damage granting multiple stacks. Urgot is probably a bug, not a rule, and Illaoi not getting stacks from separate tentacle slams is also probably a bug. They whole point of the rework is to remove how bursty it is and work more for champions who want to do sustained damage in teamfights.

Give it time. It literally hit the PBE this week, they're still ironing out the kinks.

Still, reporting these bugs is important.

I'm guessing Garen's E is coded as an DoT effect. DoT effects are deliberately coded so they will only give one stack and won't give more stacks with each tick.

they would have to change garens spin itself to allow interactions like that.

maybe they could make his spin count as a single target attack, when it triggers its isolation damage.

he would also get full spellvamp effect on his spin in that case, when he only hits a single unit, which would mean he could benefit from death dance really well.

also the full critical strike damage in that case aswell.

this could add another skill element to his kit, since positioning would become even more important.
