Fizz cast zhonya's and I, as Soraka, put my silence pool right beneath him. As soon as his zhonyas ended, and this is during my silence duration, he cast playful trickster and hopped out of it.
Astôlfo1 votesJust to make sure, Zhonya's ended before your pool 'collapsed' and silenced him? Because Zhonya's can dodge the silence itself, and after Zhonya's is over, if the timing is not exactly right, he can E out of it.
Orkhan1 votesThis is all explained in the concept of software engineering. Yes, software requires some time (few millisecs, or whatever) to execute the part of code to see if silence is on or not. But end users do not care about this. If silence is there, it should be continues silence and once zhonyas is over, silence should be activated. Any debate based on timing is invalid and needs to be take care of. There are handful of techniques to make this work and laziness to fixing this bug is not one.

Instead, it checks every now and then for whether or not a champ is within the field, and if there is, it would proc its effects. Though it can be as frequent as 0.1s, that is still a gap of time in which an action may be taken, and for something as instant as Fizz's E, it is something very possible. Same thing for double Zilean bomb right on top of someone with Zhonyas; if they just so happened to come out between the time checks, they can blink out without triggering the intended effects.
