Talk:Expose Weakness

Here's the method I used for testing:

I created a custom game with Syndra, Annie, and Karma. All 3 players used a blank rune page, and the only masteries were 4 points in Sorcery and 1 point in Expose Weakness. Everyone went to blue buff at level 1. The 3 players shot their Q at Ancient Golem in specific orders, and the final HP was recorded. Between each test everyone ran away to reset the golem.

If multiple applications from different champions merely refreshed the duration (a la Exhaust or Ignite), then all 3 tests should have done the same damage. However, test #3 did slightly less damage. This is because by the time Annie did her attack, Syndra's application of Expose Weakness had already faded off the monster, meaning she only did 1% increased damage rather than the 2% she got in test #1. If the duration merely refreshed, then it wouldn't have mattered that it had been 4 seconds since Syndra's attack, because it had only been 2 seconds since Karma's.
 * 1) Syndra, Karma, Annie: 1268 / 1500
 * 2) Syndra, Annie, Karma: 1268 / 1500
 * 3) Syndra, wait 2 seconds, Karma, wait 2 seconds, Annie: 1269 / 1500

Using these three champions was convenient because Annie and Karma have the same base damage on their Q, and the damage is high enough that a 1% difference can be noticed. Note also that if Expose Weakness were not used, the final damage to the golem would simply be 70 + 80 + 80, or 1270 / 1500.
