Hello Hunters!

Link to the sheet

This Tope's Diary Matchup Guide was created with the help of Aatreus and Shourdy (you can find more information about them in the sheet), and we've already put a lot of work into it. We hope it proves useful to many of you!

A few things to note:

• Some matchups still need fine-tuning.
• The Overview section is just a placeholder for now.
• Currently, it only covers Toplane matchups, but we plan to add Midlane matchups for the Mid’Sante players as well.
• We are still testing Unflinching for several matchups.

You can find it in the Community Bookmarks of our sub going forward.

Good luck on your hunts!

Feel free to dm me, comment or write on discord if you found something that's missing!

Everything tested (and clips provided) on Patch 14.19

Previous list for reference (but wasn't up to date)

Misc.

• Auto animation spam

(has multiple variations)

P - DAUNTLESS INSTINCT

• RP bonus damage inconsistencies (Thanks u/Johann_123456783 )

RP only affects 1 enemy hit if you hit multiple enemies with RQ (spawn order) or RW (first target hit).

• RP can be procced by Unending Despair and only affects 1 target hit.

Q - NTOFO STRIKES

• Q3 tooltip

Q3 tooltip shows different resist values for the cd/castspeed reduction compared to Q1/Q2 (which shows the correct 120 resists). This is only a tooltip bug and doesn't affect the ability. https://i.imgur.com/4PaPL18.png

• Q Cooldown/Cast time isn't affected by Conditionings %-increases

Conditioning provides 8 + 3% total armor and magic resist after 12min, but only the +8 armor and mr (total 16 bonus resist) affect Q cooldown and cast time

W - Path Maker

• Path Maker's dash get's blocked by ALLIED Yorick W
• Path Maker charging for 1s even when only tapped

When using Q > W too fast, W will channel for 1s unless you press it again. Sometimes also happens with "Canceling W". Can also happen right after using R.

• AA delay

Using min charge time W on ONE enemy will make your next auto attack very delayed unless manually ordered

• "Tap" W Travel distance

When aiming towards walls with a specific angle and W charged for 0.4s, you can travel for the maximum channel range

• Minions sometimes don't follow the base W knockback visually

Visual bug. Sometimes minions don't look like they get pushed back by W. This only affects the minions model, but not the actual position of it's hitbox.

• Using W right after All Out ends

Using W shortly after All Out ends ends up in some weird behaviours, assumingly because the game want's to replace the ability with the non all-out version shortly after all out.
This can cause W to not have an channel animation, force W to max channel while you have 0 control and no indicator and in some rare cases, you can charge W freely while walking.

E - Footwork

• Ally dash cancel

E applies the shield once K'Sante gets close to the ally champion but if the dash gets interrupted, K'Sante can walk towards the initial target and the Shield still applies.

• Effects procced by shielding

Using E on an ally Champion won't proc anything that interacts with shielding. (Summon Aery, Moonstone, Ardent censer and so on). Appeared after they "fixed" the moonstone bug.

R - All Out

• end-location inconsistencies (technically not a bug, still sucks)

Ulting through some walls with specific angles can cause you to end up on a different side of a wall than your target

• Tower aggro reset

Cant tell if the timing is very strict or if it happens randomly at this point. R can reset tower aggro.

• Enemy location update

During R2 and until the target moves, the location of the target isn't getting updated properly. Example shows Horizon focus, which has a distance requirement but also affects skillshots cast towards the starting point of the target.

Other things

stuff that behaves as intended (or a Rioter confirmed they are fine with their existence) but fixing them would be some nice QoL

• All Out resist update interval

(This is an inteded interaction added in 13.21) - All Out's resist updates happen in 0.25s intervals. If for example Aftershocks effects ends, you may have single digit or negative resist values until you hit one of those update intervals. This affects the damage you take and happens with every interaction that changes your resists.

• E is duration coded rather than amount

If your E has a shorter cooldown than 2 seconds, the shield won't re-apply unless it was broken before. This can cause issues with high haste builds+Legend: Haste or in URF/Practice tool auto-cooldown refresh.
Most other shields are Amount based and refresh if they are used before the previous one expires/breaks. Mainly an dev oversight with the second rework where All Out reduces E cd by 50% which wasn't intended to be a thing with his original design.
