Runaan's Hurricane SLOWS attack speed (at least on Thresh)

I posted this before a long time ago, but I think it was on the old forums. Runaan's Hurricane, if there is more than 1 target on the screen, actually slows Thresh's attack speed. I don't know if it has the same effect on other champions, but the way it works is as follows:

  • Single target in range: Attack speed is fast
  • Multiple targets in range (so extra arrows proc): Attack speed is sloooow

It is not just a small difference. It is a huge difference. Like 50% or even double the attack speed.

I'm sure everyone who buys Runaan's on thresh is wondering this.

Thresh has different attack animations for different ranges.

It's likely that with multiple targets nearby, one of them is close enough to trigger his melee range attack causing runaans ranged only modifier to kick in.
