@Aginor2 Q won't do full damage, because even thought you've hit them with the E, you're still hitting them with the Q's first hit, and will therefore reduce the rest of the hits by 15%. Also, when you use the E and knock them into it, it will reduce the trap damage.

I wasn't originally aware it was a specific spell or effect, but even then, it still indicates that it'll reduce Taliyah's Q and E hits after the first, since they both hit multiple times on their own.

This item basically counters spam skills and skills with multiple hits such as DoTs, Syndra ult, maybe Zyra plants (interactions with that could be different), Katarina's passive daggers (most likely, since it's all on the passive), Ahri's foxfire and ult (but not Q, since way back is true damage), etc.

Karthus is dead with this item in the game. Swain, Taliyah and Casseopiea are looking like shit too.
