skarner shield ap ratio bug

AP DARIUS·Nov 13, 2019·1 votes·560 views

I tried double d-cap with a mage cap on 3 star Skarner today, and in the spell description it said the shield amount is 2250, while my 3 star Skarner had only 2820 hp (on mountain element map, been putting him on the mountain hex since the very first round). From the information above, we can predict that the double cast shield would easily cover over half of the Skarner's HP bar, but the problem is, in the actual game play, it only covers about a bit over 1/3. It seems like there is something wrong with the numbers. Is this a bug or...? Thanks for reading all that :P

(By the way, live server TFT is totally dead and unplayable, there are on average 5-6 afk players per game for the 10-year anniversary mission, so I had to play on PBE. Also when I was playing my first game on live server today, the Skarner shield bugged and stayed on him through the planning phase and next combat round.

Pretty sure that he won't cast a double shield, but instead will cast a second time as soon as the first one runs out. Same for diana, or self buffs like sivir or twitch, or mundo or nasus. Some abillities can't be recast till their effect runs out.

So the shield should cover ~44% of the hp bar IF the bar is 100% accurate on the health-shield ratio, which i'm not sure of even on the normal rift.

The thing is, I can clearly see he casted twice, and shield amount increased twice as well, but the amount is definitely not 2250, is more like 2250 splitting into half and half. Diana is different, for some reason she does cast twice, but the shield and orbs do not stack at all, not sure if intentional. (If remembered correctly) Nasus is the same deal with Skarner, but without bugs, he can cast his ultimate twice properly.

Haven't tried mundo/sivir/twitch with mage cap yet, but pretty sure it's not all the same.
