HOW YOU BROKE MEDUSA AND HOW TO FIX HER EASILY

Medusa has been through alot in the past few months, some good changes. Her armor shatter now works on all the champs it used to, km, emma, imiw and so on. This change has what i hope was an unintended consequence.... It made it so her damage doesnt increase with the application of a 2nd armor shatter, which used to almost double her damage from 1 armor shatter..... Here is why:
Before this patch when medusa applied an armor shatter the armor reduction and therefore the damage increase was tied to the armor shatter.
After the patch its the armor BREAK that is now simultaneously applied with the armor shatter that reduces the opponents armor. The shatter now just stops robot AA and the activation of champs future armor buffs. When you apply 2 armor shatters you still only apply 1 armor break and this is whats causing the problem. Since the armor reduction is tied to the armorbreak instead of the shatter and regardless of having 2 shatters you only apply 1 armor break so you only reduce their armor once for 2k+ instead of twice for 4k+.
HOW TO FIX:
Simply make it so you place an armorbreak for each shatter, problem solved. Damage goes back to how it could potentially be with a quick and easy fix.
1 shatter= 1 armorbreak, 2 shatters= 2 armorbreaks. Remember you cant stack more then 2 armor shatters and to even be able to get 2 shatters you have to bring the blackbolt synergy to use heavy attacks to apply permanent armorbreaks and get the first and then immediately use your sp3 to get the second.
I want to say im a big fan of the change to her shatter that it was changed back to how it functioned before it broke. I just really hope they can make this change and she will be 100% back to her old self. Ty for reading and please take this to the team.
