practically 1v5 as well

Dread it. Run from it. Executes arrive all the same.

(Or fucking miss it- that works to)

Not quite my mechanics

TLDR: Weaving is slightly more damage at all levels with base stats, is worse after 360 AP and gets better the more AS and AD you have. In a game only weave autos if the enemy is immobile and if you don't already one shot with QQQ->AA.

As a consequence of various (faulty) discussions, here are the actual numbers of Locke's Q.

A prerequisite to determine the damage of one combo vs another is that both combos are of equal length. In the above example I show a trade of 5s with both QQQ->Autos and Q->Weave. It is important to note that weaving without additional AS is always worse than QQQ->Auto if that is the extent of the possible trade. Also note that if you don't cancel the first AA windup with you Q animation weaving is always strictly worse.

Refer to this pdf hosted on google drive for the calculations that back up the video.

In most actual applications QQQ->AA is both safer and faster burst dmg delivery which is why it should be preffered. In extended trades weaving can be preferrable. Testing with runes like PTA, HOB and Conq still necessary; I used Electrocute because it doesn't fudge the damage numbers.

As most of you already know we are doing Live Updates to the comprehensive guide and with those updates is coming arguably one of the biggest additions in Locke Mechanics.

So we took it upon ourselves (hopefully for the LAST time) to address this on going debate about his Q auto combo variations.

Pause to read when needed, adapt, keep hunting, and hopefully we can save his WR one optimal step at a time.

Gotten so used to Locke that I figured I'd try to make the funniest (fastest) build possible and we came up with "Locke The Hedgehog" Everyone trynna figure out nerfs and buffs I'm just having fun with it (Re-upload + better quality)

(Fixed a few things in the editing tool)

Firstly, I think people who use Attack Move Click (or like me, Attack Move on Left Click) a lot are most affected by this.

If you input an Attack or Move command, your E1 will not cancel it. If you press left, and dash right, you will dash right, then continue on your path to the left. I.e youre farming, and youre getting ganked. You react quickly enough to react with E1 and dash out - but, if you dont input a new move or attack command, you will instantly dash back into the minions again if theyre in range, or start moving towards the minion you pressed Attack on.

Might be obvious to some, but it actually took me a few games to realize the exact reason I sometimes would E2 unintentionally.

I've never made a video like this before so sorry if its unclear what im trying to show lmao.
