[BUG/CHAMPION] Noctourne Fear's effect stays on through Zhonya.

Not much to say; if Noctourne has you connected to his fear, before you go into Zhonya, during and after Zhonya ends, you'll still have the effect of the actual Fear administered to you.

Example.

Me, whoever, fighting him, he tries Fearing me, I zhonya in an attempt to avoid its effects cause there's no way I can get away from him, it still goes off cause I didn't get out of his Fear range (even if I'm Zhonya'd), I get feared for the last few seconds of the fear duration because his Fear duration lasts longer than the duration I had left of Zhonya. (So basically, as soon as I get out of Zhonya, I still have no control of my champ as he's Feared for a short bit.)

I dunno if this is a case of 'untargettable' or 'invulnerable' discrepancies, but I have never seen this before and it got me killed multiple times against Noctourne...and seeing as how I was the main carry of our team, since I died, which was definitely attributed to that Fear through Zhonya, we lost. It was just a normal, but I'll be damned if I see this in a Ranked.

This isn't a case of 'outplaying' by Zhonya'ing at the last second, since I'd rather wait for my cooldowns in a gold statue form than get chopped by Noctourne as his Fear ticks down with the damage from his fear and AAs also happening. But even with TENACITY boots, I was still Feared after the Zhonya ended.

This is working as intended, not a bug. If you got slowed before you Zhonyad and the slow last longer than the Zhonyas would you still be slowed after? Of course. It is a Zhonyas not a QSS. If the tether gets on you then it doesn't matter if you become untargetable. If Nocturne throws his fear tether on Yi and Yi alpha strikes he still gets feared if he doesn't break the tether, and an Alpha strike is an untargetable also. If you are Zhonyad then he can't tether to your gold statue while you are in the statue, but as long as the tether connects before then it does not matter and the fear effect still goes through.

Tl;DR Working as intended.
