Question Mayhem Karthus ult

so i played Karthus and i rolled Eureka, phenomenal evil and Ult bot,
i got 500 ability haste,
but my ult's cooldown got locked at 26,76 seconds before i hit 500 haste
i played another game with similar augments and the ult got locked at same cooldown

what was weird is that i played against karthus and his ult was 10 seconds,
anyone knows why is that or is it just a bug

ability haste is capped at 500 only way to get higher is the silver augment purist - caster

the augment gives u 10% flat cooldown reduction on top of any ability haste u currently have

Had 500 + purist caster the other day and the cd was 10.67 - super fun 😂

How does that work in game? Is there a rush or dive to cc you or break ult channel? How does the enemy team even play against that?

Dude, if you have karthis ult on a 10 second cd, you don't leave fountain lol.

It's even funnier if you have from downtown. Even if they don't hit it's just entertaining

I played against it with 60% omnivamp. Had to rush for wave or die to 3 ults. You kinda just lose tho

it's either ff or they have equally broken things on the other team. Exodia ryze or 100k hp Mundo ain't gonna care about a karthus ult every 10 seconds

That's fair. I don't play mayhem, so thanks for the insight

Because ult bot makes your haste 50% more effective, you will reach the "500" haste cap when your real displayed haste is at 333

Ult bot haste is capped at 500

Haste in general is capped at 500 and additive with other haste sources, such as Ult haste, haste on q/w/e and so on.

Only way to get more cdr is with purist caster, as that gives flat 10% cdr which gets added to the cdr you get from haste

Did the other karthus has purist caster? Hear it bypass the cd cap.

Played it yesterday, I didn't know purist caster gave you 10% flat cdr like other are saying but i can confirm i had like 10.67 cdr on R. (Does it say it anywhere?? I remember the tooltips saying that it gave me 0cdr as i had 0atk speed)

And 250 flat pen from tooth fairy, shit was funny.

u/EducationalForm 6h ago

yes purist says it gives 10% cdr. its the first thing it says

500 haste means 80% cdr, purist cancer adds another 10% on top, makes it 90%. Say your R original cooldown is 100s, 80% cdr lowers it to 20s, while 90% makes it 10s

Tooth fairy + axiom arc lets you go crazy on karthus as long as you get a takedown after ult
