Daily Reminder That Warlord's Bloodlust Gives Immunity To Vel'koz's Slow

Been dealing with this bug for months now.

  1. Proc Warlord's Bloodlust's speed boost.
  2. Get hit by a Vel'koz Q.
  3. Continue running at your boosted speed with absolutely no slowdown whatsoever!

For a kiting mage, this sure makes it rather difficult to kite.

Might work on other single target slows, but I main Vel... So I get screwed quite often by this bug.

Granted, it might be because not many people use it over fervor unless its specific type of champions. It would be neat if it keeps that niche with all abilities that apply slow and also works if it was proc'd after being slow to be a useful anti-slow measure to give some powerful worth to it then just lifesteal burst.

It's pretty much proven that mobility has way too much value these days so it would be fair to these things being applied more as specific instance mobility then allow certain items to grant such EZ move speed without some draw back so we don't have cheese champs who could just abuse EZ hit slow abilities to just kite damage a enemy champion then jump them before they relealize they lost about 20%~40% of their health and a chance of being able to take on the target who could likely kill them in a instant now.

Champs with the ability to 'shoot' pokes without really interrupting their movement long enough are just plain ridiculous in what they can pull off, especially when they have a high base move and the natural items they build jump that up to a EZ 20~40 move speed difference gap vs opponents who don't build move speed as geneously because if they do, they won't have the core items they 'need' first before they can build flexbility like movement items.

Moral of the story, Rito cut down on the freebie movement gags already or nerf champions like Ekko's Q's slow greatly so its less of a EZ free trade ability cause you slow your target's by alot and have a actual risk attached to it then the ez harass it can pull especially in early game, even when the opponent has boots first to dodge the Q on 'paper'.

I'm really not sure what any of this has to do with Warlord's Bloodlust being bugged... Ekko's slow is not a single target so I doubt it works. But it also sounds like you're trying to tell me that I don't deserve to get off my spell rotation if I successful land the most pivotal of my three skillshots. The slow on Vel'koz's Q is literally his bread and butter... It sets up for his E, W, and if they're low enough, R.

There's plenty of AD items that give bonus movement speed. The only one I can think of for AP that I regularly build is item 3285... Meanwhile, item 3071, item 3046, item 3094, item 3085...

On an extremely unmobile champ like Vel, not getting the slow intended from his Q is a death sentence late game.
