I've been quite curious about this after a discussion with Cgamp.
Previously I thought that double leech was caused from crit rate since it can most obviously look like a critical hit or at the very least it seemed like an equivalent to it; however through discussing it with him I learned that certain weapon gems or abbilities which proc upon critical hits do not do so when a double leech occurs thus it's more likely for it to be attached to the hit rate.
Would the admin care to explain for us?

Hi Shuichi,

I am not sure what you meant by double leech, but some effects are proc'ed per hit not per attack, so incase if the hero hit multiple times per attack, an effect may proc multiple times.

Sometimes when you use leech, instead of hitting once, she hits twice. For example, my leech deals 1642 damage and sometimes when I heal instead of landing a

-1642 I deal -1642
-1642
equaling 3284 damage but obviously it extracts only 1642 in the following turns due to leech effect.
So what I meant is, when Sara hits twice does it occur from crit or hit rate?

Perhaps I could take a stab?

Double leech never occurs. In the event that you think it does, it is because the leech is taking place on the opponent's turn - as intended. So, if you leech opponent hero, and opponent hero is next in line to attack, you will see a "double leech". But that is an illusion. That is simply a leech effect on the opponent as he/she is taking his/her turn.

As far as I know, leech is not affected by crit, crit dmg or opponent def. The only stats that affects leech are hit, dodge and attack.

Whether that should or should not change, that's not the point of my clarification.

Enjoy.

It seems icyglaze's explanation is most likely what you are seeing.

I don't think so. The opponent gets hit by leech's effect and then after you leech on your turn, thr opponent gets hit by leech twice and loses more hp then normally. I noticed it mostly occurs in RH.
In fact, you were the one that gave me the idea of "double leech" getting affected by crit rate.

Icy explained it correctly. No such thing as crit leech.

If I did, I apologise. I was mistaken then. Admittedly I do make mistakes now and then. If I am wrong now, I gladly accept the evidence for it. Leech is very much a boring predictable skill at the moment..
