Takedowns on champions make Statikk Shiv lightning strike up to 186 targets, that's probably fine. Problem is, Electroshocks from different takedowns stack - so in ARAM you just have penta kills happening left and right. Oh and by the way, allies can also proc that Shiv for you (they somehow take the kills from you though). Edit: this is of course on the live servers right now.

[@henriquecesar8859]

unfortunately this looks intended, one single proc never strikes more than once, but the chain kills makes so that up to 4 can hit a single person, and seeing how the base damage is pretty high those situations makes sense. The Wukong one is dumb tho

[@gravyham3881]

Minus the wukong part, it actually is. Since the lightning has no cooldown, a takedown with the lightning will create another lightning, leading to a domino effect. It's silly, but definitely not a bug.

[@abidyacine9273]

that's an oddly specific number, and a high one for sure. anyway, 200 years.

[@tatzecom]

186 is 192-6. 192 is 3*(2^6) maybe they use 192 as a derived but arbitrary value for something, then the lightning is supposed to bounce 6 times and somehow they arrived at 186 bounces. maybe the lighting is supposed to acquire up to 192 targets, then choose the "correct" targets and apply the effect to them, but instead of stopping after the 6th target, it keeps repeating the same step over and over, 186 times.

[@matejbosela9093]

​@@tatzecomi would rather guess the zap/lightning has a tag like "id_186" or something and the guy responsible for this spaghetti put it in the bounce amount instead of just the tag

[@Elias_Ehler]

Maybe they first wanted to make it 200 bounces before they decided that was too powerfull and they substracted the age of their game.

[@ATMEIDAREYAIDOUBLEDAREYA]

Okay Statik shiv shenanigans aside can we talk about why/how the fu*k Wukong W disappearing counts as a takedown in the League spaghetti code?

[@jdmichal]

My guess is that it's coded as a timed effect owned by Wukong to remove the clone. Which is perfectly normal. What's unusual is that there's apparently no mechanism to remove the clone without "killing" it and processing takedown triggers. Reminds me of the "everything is coded as minions" meme.

[@the4GIVEN]

​@@jdmichalits just hilarious that they dont change the code of the wukong w, but instead put in an exeption clause into everything that has an effect on takedown. its just so inefficient to do it that way and its always at least a patch late, because riot doesnt test their shit or even make a note.

i mean even if only bounced 5 times (1 per champ) 270 magic damage per proc times 5 is insane, in any situation of teamfights or ARAM this item is win condition

[@the_last_ballad]

Well, its linear. 1st person gets zero, second 1, third 2, fourth 3, fifth 4, and only seige minions/superminions get the full 5. So you are doing a total of 1080 premitigation magic damage to the last enemy. If they are low, this item is a cleanup monster, if they are high health and a tank... its chunky I guess, if you happen to kill the rest of their team?

[@wigmanmania259]

So, killing a champ triggers a chain lightning, and if said lightning kills another champ, it triggers another chain lightning, because there's no internal cooldown on it, so if enough enemies are low health and close together (like in ARAM) killing just one enemy champ can cascade into a Penta Did I get that right?
