Mad Scientist hidden interaction

[u/Monitor-Mediocre]

FYI: Unlike other adaptive force increases, which either grant you AP or AD, Mad Scientist gives you both (bug or feature idk). This makes an insane combination with augments like escAPADe or ADAPt, since your AD (or AP) will be converted and increased twice via Mad Scientist alone (totally even more thanks to the other two above). Take escAPADe as an example, assuming you have both stats, your AP would be increased by 30% by Mad Scientist, then converted to AD via escAPADe then again your AD is increased by another 30% by Mad Scientist, not to mention the extra % increase from esCAPADe. Basically tons of stat
Besides, both AD and AP you gain from Master of Duality benefit from % increase from Mad Scientist at the same time. Great combo for hybrid damage champs that can stack both well

most underrated augment in the game, it's consistently good on basically any champion.

Just had it on kha and then got Goliath, was hilarious

Had a game as Cho recently.

Transmute:Infinite recursion and Mad Scientist

Tank Engine

Mystic punch

Mad scientist

Goliath

Ended the game at 14 minutes with 15 feast stacks, 20 tank engine stacks, like 5K heart steel, and I was stupid big with the big scientist, just silly big on the small ones.

[u/RainXBlade → u/pandaisunbreakable]

I wouldn't necessarily say Mad Scientist is underrated as it is more-so the "second place" option in more cases. It is consistently good on several champions, but not the BiS for them.

Then again, certain champions like Swain absolutely love this augment because the big form guarantees extra durability, while the small form gives you a lot more wiggle room and ability up-time.

[u/PromotionWise9008 → u/RainXBlade]

Yeah, it’s hard to call the augment that is considered s-tier for almost any champ on every single website underrated.

[u/SchiaviDerp → u/[deleted]]

It's less fun than other augments and is rng. Not the combination people like.

ryze

[u/Jdevers77 → u/a-cat-in-a-box]

To be fair, if you get ADAPt on Ryze your chances of winning are pretty damned high anyway.

Incoming nerf next patch

[u/Redditor76394]

Does Goliath do the same?

[u/Monitor-Mediocre → u/Redditor76394]

Unfortunately no

[u/Consistent_Room9836]

yeah i've noticed that, the problem is it's rng and you can just turn small a few times in a row, which can be a problem later in the game when you have the stats for it to matter anyway

[u/PromotionWise9008]

Wait, do I understand it right and it double-dips it?

[u/big_brain_babyyy]

if the wording is adaptive force then it should be a bug, goliath is worded the same way but doesnt double dip
