Just as the title says. I was confused about the direction of Hydra, what's the point of the cast time? It's not like people have the reaction time to escape the cleave, and even so it seems pointless to do so.

For Zed, who this item seems to be made for, it seems to waste time on his ult timer. I'm just curious how the community feels about it.

Do you think Hydra really needs a cast time? DFG, Twin Shadows, and Gunblade(I'm using offensive items as examples) don't have it, why start with this item in particular?

My vote is No. Unnecessary.

From what I can tell, there is no cast time. It applies on your next auto attack

There's a cast time which i also agree that there should not be one. And from my view of this in game. It does not disrupt ur auto attack at all. So its basically another attack rite in between the animation of two of ur attacks.

To make it more clear. It is not an on hit effect. It activates wen u click it and it will make the aoe splash around u just like nautilus' waves wen u walk/attack and click it. I will let u know that it activates sheen.
