jsut wondering since im messing with my masteries and i don't actually know, single target that hits two things? that doesn't really make sense and sounds like an oxymoron but it's not aoe or dot

It's a colliding skillshot that hits two units. So it would be classified as a AoE skillshot.

I think technically its AoE, could be wrong though

You're not.

No, it's classified as an AoE (all skillshots are). Things like Brand's E, Anivia's E, Syndra's R, Annie's Q and etc. are all examples of single-target. Veigar's Q is just an AoE that deals damage to the first two things it hits.

it's classified as an AoE (all skillshots are).

If a skillshot_ can damage at most one target_ (under no circumstances being able to damage multiple targets), it counts as single-target.

Examples being:

Morgana's Q
Ryze's Q
Ahri's Charm
Amumu's Q
Mundo's Q

Okay, sure, but 99.99% of the time, it's an AoE. :P Some are exceptions.

Those are not exceptions.

There are skill-shots which are AoE (i.e. Ryze's Q, Veigar Q, Ahri Q, Ekko's Q, Ezreal's W, Brand's W) and there are skill-shots which are single-target (i.e. those above, Ezreal's Q, Brand's Q, etc).

Just like there are targeted abilities which are single-target (these should be obvious) and targeted abilities which are AoE (i.e. Lissandra's R, Tristana's E, Lucian's Q, Kennen's W, etc).
