[GAMEPLAY] Illaoi Harsh Lesson randomly cancels when AA is interrupted by CC
With Illaoi, when using Harsh lesson [W] if the auto-attack animation is interrupted by any form of CC the Harsh Lesson proc might be cancelled.
- Activate Harsh Lesson [W]
- Attempt to attack a character
- Have a second player attempt to use a CC effect to interrupt the attack (Stun/knock-back) on Illaoi while she is mid animation
After numerous games I've found that sometimes Harsh Lesson [W] gets cancelled without triggering it's effect when Illaoi's auto attack animation is interrupted with CC (W goes on CD, no dmg dealt, no slam proc). However, perhaps due to the timing involved, it feels somewhat random as sometimes the proc will remain (presumably the auto attack hadn't sufficiently started to count as cancelled?).
Note:
- It can be extremely difficult to tell if the proc actually went off or was cancelled, particularly because you can proc more then one "slam" trigger together. e.g. Spirit -> W will proc two at the same time but you won't know if the W proc worked until you wait long enough.
- It's quite possible this is an intended mechanic, however it feels very unnatural and is extremely difficult to control or anticipate, often leaving you in the middle of a team-fight just standing there doing nothing waiting for tent slams that never come. If it is an intended mechanic I might recommend adding some form of cue to help the player be aware that the W has failed without having to wait especially given Illaoi's long animations.
