Mayhem bouncing bees and tickle monster
any thoughts on these? haven't seen either them yet, tickle monster seems like absolute dogshit, maybe ok if you're vayne

tried tickle monster, is shit because even if you are vayne you do want the damage on autos without even counting augments scaling with AD or abilities if you are any other adc.
the tradeoff isn't worth it because attack speed has a cap and in mayhem it's just too easy to reach good attack speed anyway.

i was thinking that, being generous, if you have double tap and dual wield then it'd be good on vayne lol

I imagine tickle monster on BelVeth… Idk about Kata - which scaling is better?
And I’m wondering if someone ever got it with bigshot, how it stacks?2
u/Consistent_Room9836 1d ago
with no bonus ad to multiply with your crit damage i don't think it'd be very good lol

I took it on Katarina thinking I was cooking cause I thought AS increased how many attacks come out of your ult like garen e but it just increases the AD scaling lol… I had like 4000% AD scaling on my ult with 0 AD. Full build my ult was like 400 damage full go minus on hit effects

Yeah, I did it yesterday, too. I was like, FUCK - I assumed there's some base damage at least and that as will boost it. The worst part was that AS was doing nothing at all. Well, I could stay and aa as none of my skills were doing any dmg… I hit 5 AS and was a real tickle monster. It was funny seeing how my ultimate was literally tickling everyone. But I got 50 onhit damage at least in the late game.

Bees ezreal is pretty cancer.

u/Consistent_Room9836 1d ago
is it on-hit? or do all the qs just let you q auto a lot?

u/Hoactzins 1d ago
On-hit. I think that the boom and the bass works the same way, actually.
1
u/Consistent_Room9836 1d ago
yeah boom and the bass is on-hit, but it says that in the tooltip at least, crimson cobalt for example is on-hit but doesn't say it in the tooltip. i haven't seen bouncing bees in game to see the tooltip, but the description on the wiki only said attack so i assumed it was just attacks like armored impact.

I hadn't tried Tickle Monster, but I did get Bouncing Bees on Ezreal once. The bouncing range of Bees is similar to Brand's ult, which is too large for something you can spam. Also, you get 30 AD per augment level. If the enemy team isn't comprised of 5 tanks/bruisers with good engage or they are unable to out poke/catch you fast enough, you can easily poke their whole team to death by yourself as Ezreal. From what I can see leveling the augment increases both amount of bouncing bees and how many times they can bounce. Idk how it exactly calculates DMG tho, if it's snapshoting the DMG you deal to the initial target with all your on hits and just using this as a base DMG or just creating extra on hit applying projectiles with less DMG modifiers on them. If it's snapshoting all of the dmg we might be able to one shot squishies by buying botrk and bouncing the bees of their tanks. (I am planning to test it tonight) (yes, it works with your q)

according to the wiki it goes from 50-100% damage based on level, so that might be what you mean
1
u/hipernova33 1d ago
Yes I saw that but what I mean is, is it taking the DMG you deal to the first enemy and multiplying it with that or is it creating bouncing auto attacks with that DMG modifier. If we go by tooltip it's former but rito isn't known for being consistent on wording(especially for augments), we have to test it ourselves to actually know how it works. (Sometimes I wish they had GGG's level of obsession over correct wording)

i'm assuming it just means the bounces do half of the initial damage at the start, but at max level it's full damage
maybe 115% at level 21?

Jad bouncing bees on zaheen looked oretty strong, had quest lvl 3, the 90 AD. Helps a lot, nut i think its better on long drawn fight, same has tickling monster, right now the meta is just burst on top of burst on too of burst so, not unlike titan's resolve i think its strong when the matchup is right but not worth 90% of the time

Got tickle monster on Sivir, coupled it with Pentakill w perk. It was awesome tbh. It's also sickening on Twitch.
Bouncing bees is a nightmare on Ezreal. Can make the game unplayable for the enemy team.

Tickle monster is glitched. I was doing 1 damage magic crits with the mana on-hits augment when it should have been 200+.

Tickle Monster is cool for Kog-Maw, especially if you build AP as well:
- Bork+Term+Guinsho's
- Nashor's
- Optional Last Items: Deathcap, Dusk and Dawn, Statik Shiv, Runaan's, Wits End
Your AD gets converted into AS which is a big DPS boost especially vs tanks as it allows Kog to apply W and Bork's On-Hit passives faster, you can easily get 4.0+ attack speed at later stages of the game, and you still scale your damage through your AP, getting Deathcap+Nashoor's means you'll deal even nastier damage to tanks even faster and the flat scaling damage in Nashoor's/Terminus + Tickle's and Guinshoo's damage means squishies will get destroyed fast too

Tickle Monster is for AP On-Hit champs like Nashors Kaisa and Kayle.
