I've told people a millions times not to be sarcastic, I mean I'd never be sarcastic. It's like exaggerating, it annoys me

If you upgrade a ability after you have used it (is either in travel, or is set on the ground like a Teemo mushroom) the ability does not upgrade, it hits with the pre-upgraded damage. Malz's dot may be an exception to this rule (research pending, thinking each time Malz dot "jumps" it is like a fresh cast).

On 10/16 or 10/17 while laning with Mal, I distinctly noticed my DOT's damage on a minion go up the moment I improved Malefic Visions from Rank 2 to Rank 3. It was ticking for 30 a tick and jumped to 76 a tick.

I can't figure out why it would be such a large increase, but I had nothing else hitting the target and was specifically conserving mana and playing close to the tower so I wasn't even auto-attacking, just letting the DOT farm for me.

I had a Doran's Ring and Archmage's Savvy, so I should have had just 13 AP at the time. I'll pay closer attention next time and see if I can confirm.

PS: No Damage Over Time section? The "first tick instant" rule itself would be worthy of green text. I think DOTs tend to have one extra tick as a result, meaning a 4 second DOT ticking every second actually ticks 5 times, once initially, and 4 more times a second apart (same total damage, just slightly more spread out).

Sarcasm bring variety in life!

Idk whether I asked or not. If Tristana jumps from one bush to another does the enemy see the process of jumping if he didn't see her in the bush to begin with?

Love the how NOT to write a guide. Especially the "don't tell Tim Nash this, but..." xD

Two errors i found in the "Creeps" section:
1. The Black Wraith in Twisted Treeline is not listed.
2.

Golems: The Golems are the next weakest creeps, they come in pairs and both have the same health and damage. Each Golem gives 30 gold and 140 experience.

Wraiths: The Wraiths have weaker health and damage than the Golems, but there are also four of them, three Lesser Wraiths and a Wraith, and the Wraith has a passive lifesteal. The Wraiths are a little more challenging to kill than either the Golems or Wolves, so they give more experience then the other two. The Lesser Wraiths give 12 gold and 20 experience, and the Wraith gives 35 gold and 120 experience.

GOLEMS: 140+140= 280 EXP.
WRAITHS: 20*3 = 60 -> 120+60 = 180 EXP.


So.. obviously, a golem camp gives more EXP than a wraith camp.

Coming from my experience at playing Tristana, yes. You can also get hit by skill-shots while you are in mid-air, it is just like gaining 1000 movement speed for half a second, with an animation added in it.

About the guide: How NOT to write a guide - The Missing Manual

Even though you advise to double-check your guide before posting it yours ain't flawless itself. For example:

What (Want?) to leave feedback on this guide, just post it on this thread and not in the comments!

What the hell does "what to leave feedback on this guide'' mean?

Ok. Furthermore: You also say that you give examples of things NOT to do, yet later (Paragraph 12 and 14) seem to be examples of things you should do... or not? Though ofcourse paragraph 14 speaks for itself.

Overall a good and clear guide though

*sigh* I think I am going to have to rework it, as people just aren't getting it. It is supposed to be inconsistent and annoying to read... as an example of what not to do.

Don't use sarcasm in a guide, instead, use it in your posts!

Mundo with GA.
Popping Ulty right before dieing will allow you to nearly fully regen HP by the time revive takes place. Plus the added HP boost once revived. Timing is crucial. i didnt see this posted, but sorry if its a repeat~

[xiuxiu]

Basically its like coming out of a zhonya's with full HP

Bump!

Yeah, I get that but... it's pretty silly. People don't need a bad guide as an example, they need a good one. Plus you want people to get the information, so making it a bad guide makes no sense. Why not just make it a guide to model off of, in which you explain what not to do.

What Happens when Nasus' Siphoning Strike crits? Is the bonus damage doubled, or only his AD?

only his AD is doubled, Sheen and the damage from SS is added afterwards.

Gragas can hit Wards with Body Slam (but he can't destroy them)
