i seriously have no clue what the cause of the runecarver bug is but it's hilarious. i can only attempt a guess which is the "needs new target -> hits someone other than the barrel" thing.
@kaleinyo4 ай бұрын
If it's after chain lightning, I suppose you're triggering the chain lightning on the barrel (because you still deal 1 damage on it), which chain on the nearest target, which is a valid target for passive, which counts for runecarver.

maybe it has to do with the fact that sometimes with the good timing you can (could ? idk if it has been fixed, i tested it last month) farm golds on the dummy while shopping. Like it only happened if you Q'd it really fast just when the barrel reached 1hp left, and it looked like it when you succeed to do wifi runecarver so idk

Just an observation, it looks like the barrels aren't actually applying the passive burn unless the barrels are at 1 HP. This kind of makes sense as the Ethereral Weapon proc is being triggered on the barrel so it doesn't hit the enemies. Overall cool but Riot needs to sort some of this stuff out.
@GSenna374 ай бұрын
Actually I think that's pretty fair, either you risk 1 hp or get a safe 2 hp but no passive

Yeah, GP is balanced cuz his melee passive mixes bad with his q and barrel range. so if a barrel procs his passive on range and the barrel resets the passive is op af. We all know the 6k HP Mundo burst barrel Aa rest combo

Firstly if you look at 4:30 it’s pre-chain lightning but it’s still jumping to the enemies. My only guess is some weird interaction with Gangplank Q, ethereal weapon, and the barrels but honestly I have no clue about that one. Secondly at 4:30 it seems to somehow go for both Garen and Sona, it could be unintentionally activating static shiv’s energised effect with runecarver. Lastly at ~12:33 despite having 10 runecarver stacks, only 3 hit Anivia (3 shots of 59 dmg). What I think happens here is that since runecarver can proc on just the barrel, it eats some of the stack before it dies, but when it dies it throws the rest at the nearest enemies.

Runecarver applies to the most nearby target if the original target is dead. Either that or the barrels exploding with the Q triggers some kind of hidden damage on the opponent. But that does not matter to know for the interaction. You also need to be near them and have vision of them for this to apply.

hi nidhogg ive been watching your arena videos for a while and had a video idea. theres a briar build that i run thats really funny that includes high rolling mystic punch, mirage blade, and cdr for your q or just ability haste in general. (the dream build that i was able to achieve once was dashing, mystic punch, earthwake, and bread and butter for my q) the idea of the build is to be able to infinitely stun with your q with your teammate being taric or a support thats able to keep the other player busy while you make the main person unable to move. if you have any question lmk ive been wanting to see people run this more because its really funny. keep in mind that mirage blade is necessary and mystic punch as well (moonblade is a decent alternative as well)

15:10 I think you were about to say it before you moved on to a different train of thought but yeah pink/purple numbers are when you do both true and magic damage, it will become more white/pink or more purple/blue based on if you do more true or magic damage respectively when you do DoT. I think it has to specifically be caused by the “same” source, like Swain ult with old Riftmaker or Vel’koz passive with ulti. Meanwhile Amumu passive just pops up as a separate source of damage entirely.
@GrimmBones4 ай бұрын
So, people may have mentioned this, but the reason why Runecarver jumps on them is because you DO proc it, as you've said, by hitting the barrel. And you know how when you proc it on an enemy, it kinda jumps on them and their ally, if they're close enough to each other? Well, same thing happens if they're close enough to the barrel. And since the barrel is dead, the entirety of the Runecarver jumps on them, if they're in closer proximity. As in, it has nothing to do with Chain Lightning. Or even Ethereal Weapons. As long as you get Runecarver on GP, this will happen. As for the 1 True Damage you saw on the barrels, my guess is that the way Ethereal Weapons is coded is to make your abilities do a bonus 1 True Damage, and then code that 1 True Damage to proc on-hit. That way they don't have change manually every single champ for Ethereal Weapons. They just add 1 bonus True Damage, and make it proc on-hit effects. It would explain why abilities that already proc on-hit effects proc them twice. Once for the ability already, and once for that 1 True Damage. In fact, if you look closely, every ability you do (after the 1 sec CD of Ethereal Weapons ofc) deals that bonus 1 TD.
