Sion E with Rift Herald Glitch

Hey Riot,

Hello My in game name is HeroMarine123 and im here to report an issue with sion's e and the Rift Hearld. Sion's e is capable of throwing Rift Hearld back, but the problem is when Rift herald is doing his animation to charge into tower and sion e's him, it knocks Rift hearld back, but rift hearld animation still goes through and he just flies to tower. Not sure if this is supposed to happen but looks very odd. I think that his animation shouldn't go off.

Thought I'd let you know. HeroMarine123

Well I believe that the E should either stop the animation itself or like you said make the rift herald unpushable so-to-speak but it also if they intended sion to be able to do that I believe it should reset the animation so that rift has to get into range again to do the tower push which is a good teamfight mechanic

I agree with this the most. Sion is the only champ able to knock-back minions and monsters so I think it should reset the charge mechanic to have even a better degree of use to him.

seems fine to me, Sion E does not stun the target, and Rift Herald is not a champion so, if anything the issue here is why is Sion able to knockback Herald when he can't knockback Dragon. Herald should be immune to the knockback effect which seems to not be the case here. Could we get some type of answer Riot on whether or not Sion should be able to move Herald?

When summoned by a player Rift Herald losses all CC immunity. Same with ghost drag when summoned by Morde.

that's dumb, so then refer back to my first part where it seems fine that it completes because the knockback doesn't stun. So far as I know not even stuning it would stop it from completeing tbh.

But even though it doesn't stun, with sion's e you're knocking rift hearld out of the attack range of its charge attack. what im thinking is that this needs to be adressed though as it can be the difference between saving tower and losing it.

no, as far as I know, there is no max range on that advance.

Yeah seems like an interesting point. I dont understand why sion is able to knockback the summoned rift hearld but not when he is in the pit. Kind of weird but I think that either this should be pointed out and fixed because the animation looks as if it was not supposed to happen :D.

The funny thing too is that when in the video i try and q the rift hearld it says "Can't be displaced" but I am able to throw him a good distance with e lol :D

You can cc like normal if it hasn't actually dashed yet(like you did with your E) but once it is in the full dash motion then it can no longer be cced.
