Ricochet deals the same damage on headshots and bodyshots despite showing damage as a headshot.

The item description also mentions that it deals a percentage of the original damage dealt, which is wrong in the case of a headshot.

Ooooo, good catch! I had wondered about this, so I'm glad to see someone checked it! Thank you.

I knew it felt underwhelming

honestly ricochet feels overhyped unless you are trying to apply DoTs or anti heal. The enemies are rarely close enough together to make the extra DPS worth it. I would rather have lucky shot or glass cannon or crippling headshot or leach or....

Its for item procs, funny interaction(mc guinnis, seven, haze), or straight up snowball with siphon or lucky shot. This item is broken in certain builds.
Also it allows for a ranged combat due to multiple item procs.

that makes me wonder also if you can proc Lucky Shot twice and do 190% damage to the first target, then 217% damage to the next, but i dont think that proc actually applies even though it technically should
