First, I'd like to thank you all for your feedback! Next, I'm going to address Will's argument of Eurya being practically invulnerable while spamming Q. I will not disprove your theory using the power of MATH. First, here's the statement:

" Without needing even that much attack speed, you can just spam Q and make yourself nigh-invulnerable to ranged enemies.  "

From this statement we get a few things:

1. He's being very passive and the post is not aggresive at all

2. Eurya's Q and be spammed.

3. Because Eurya's Q can be spammed, she can constantly block every ranged ability and never die.

First of all, I will point out the relationship between statement 2 and 3. This post implies that statement 2 must be true in order for statement 3 to be true. I will say right off the bat, that statement 2 is true, Eurya's Q was meant to be spammed since it replaced her AA. With the limitations on it, you only need around 1.4 AS to get the CD to it's minimum.

Now that we've established that statement 2 was true, we can move on to statement 3. Here is where the math comes in. I will use some hypothetical situations to try and prove the statement TRUE, rather then proving it false.

(First of all, I'd like to point out that to be truely invulnerable in a 1v1 situation, Eurya must have the SAME attack speed as her enemy, and also be at the exact right place.)

Situation 1: you're Against an ADC (vayne). (very basic)

Vayne's AA takes around 0.2-0.5 seconds to reach an enemy at max range (550) This means that the missle speed of her autoattack is around 1100 units her second. If we compare this missle speed to that of "Linear" (160) it means that Vayne's AA takes 0.145 (0.15) seconds to cross that distance. As comparison the average reaction time of a human is 0.215. What this means, is that "Linear" has a 0.15 second window to block Vayne's AA from the moment it gets in range, to the moment it strikes Eurya. The cast delay on "Linear" is 0.08 seconds. It has a block window of 0.075 seconds. Meaning that you can cast "Linear" anywhere from 0.08 to 0.0875 seconds before the AA to block it. Though this means that you need to predict and time this perfectly (practically impossible) the chance that you will tag the AA while spamming Q is insanely small. As previously stated, go into a custom game and try to hit a vayne AA while randomly spamming a Skarner Q or something of that nature. see how many you it. You can even record it and play it in slow motion, to see if you actually hit it (keep in mind Eurya's Q has less range than a Skarner Q)

Now that we have found the time frame in which you can block a Vayne AA from 160 units away, lets see what the time frame is for you to block to AA from Vayne's max range (550) Assuming Vayne's AA has the same speed as in the previous paragraph, it will reach your range after 0.4 seconds, and pass your range after 0.5 seconds. you need to cast it 0.0875 seconds before the AA enters your range to block it. Here's a "chart"

0 range: AA has been fired

236.5 Range: You have reacted to the AA's firing (0.215 secs after AA)

290 Range: AA's position after 0.26 seconds

293.75 Range: Earliest you can press Q to block AA from max Range.

390 Range: AA has entered range (latest you can press Q)

550 Range: AA has hit you, you're dead

There is a 90 range window in which you can press Q. This converts to a 0.08 second window. do you really think you can time this? the time between you're reaction to it and the beginning of your window is 0.03 seconds. Meaning between your reaction to the AA, and your Last chance to block to AA, you have 0.14 seconds. Though this may seem like alot ( if this seems like a long time you're crazy) though in a straight up 1v1 where you and vayne are just standing there practicing this, it may be easy to pick up the pace, what if I put you in lane? What if you also needed to watch the minimap? The minions? your position? Vayne's Position? Would you still be able to react in time? What if you were in a teamfight? can you still react in time?

ok, given you can react in time all all those situations, keep in mind that you're not moving yet, neither is Vayne. What if you two both start moving? the range is changing constantly, along with your window of opportunity. Can you still time it perfectly to be "invulnerable" to her damage?

PS. Keep in mind that all these calculations were assuming Vayne's AA takes a full 0.5 seconds to travel to the target. If the travel time was shorter, your window of opportunity is EVEN smaller. Think back to her AA, Ashe's AA, or even Cait's AA. Do they really take that long to hit their target?
