Trist rocket jump and EZ arcane shift, coded as "cast" and not "channel", intentional?

SwiftKitten88·Sep 22, 2016·1 votes·696 views

right now rocket jump and arcane shift are coded to have a .25 CAST time

the keyword here is "CAST" because of the way "casted" spells work they are uninterruptible. now, most CAST times are either VERY short, or instantaneous. were as "channel" times are longer and can be interrupted

becuase these spells are coded as "casts" and not "channels" they will ignore the effect of any form of CC

aka the big issue is if you try to rocket grab a or they will ignore it.

now.. these are the ONLY two mobility abilities in the game that work this way. because for some reason they have been coded as "casts" and not "channels"

so.. yes.. the skill is working exactly how it is coded... but i think its it coded wrong.

...um, Blitz can pull Trist out of jump, since hers is a dash. EZ will not be pulled, since his is a blink.

If Trist times hers right she wont be pulled.

True, but that is super hard to time unless you have almost no ping. It's much like the buffered Trist jump of the Gragas ult barrel that a pro puled off last split.

... have you ever even PLAYED blitz?

if Blitzcrank pull hits Tristana while she is on the ground for the .25 seconds of the rocket jump cast the pull will stay locked on her like it does when it hits a spellsheild. then she will jump away

if blitz pulls her AFTER she left the ground (aka after the cast ends, and she is in the air) then she will be pulled as normal

for Ezreal if he is casting arcane shift when blitz pull hits him, the blitz pull will pull him towards blitz like normal, but when arcane shift cast complete be will be teleported there regardless if he is mid way toward blitz in the pull..

so basically all they need to do is instantly press the button as soon as they see the pull coming toward them, and they CAN'T be pulled.

no other dashes in the game work like that (well except things like Malphite ulti but that is intended).

there is zero reason why these two adc should randomly get a free CC spellshield, because their skills are improperly coded, as "casts" instead of "channels"

Yes, she has to time it super well. Pretty sure Leona E works the same way too. In addition to Fizz's playful-trickster dash, Darius ult, etc. Only one of those is a viable escape though >.>

People pick Trist and especially Ez for the escapes. Why is it wrong for them to have them?

They are not channels. So them being able to ignore it like that is intentional.

....did you even READ my post? i freaking know they are not channels.. i wrote that like 4 times in the orginal post... AND the thread title...

and i ALSO said that YES they are working how they they are coded

but the fact is they are coded WRONG, the SHOULD be coded as CHANNELS, NOT CASTS

Did you hear that Rito? You've been WRONG all along. I suggest you fire the persons in charge of making this game or at the very least have them resign for coding the game WRONG. Leading expert on WRONG code, SwiftKitten88, has released this report explaining why your code is WRONG. Please fix this code because it is WRONG.

This post pretty much sums up my thought on this thread.

As much as you think this is not how it should work or should be coded, it is working 100% as intended. Riot knows about this interaction, with some of them even posting on here that it is intended and not a bug. If you want to talk about how it should be, it would be better to do so in a different section, like Gameplay or possibly Miscellaneous.

Dude, majority of abilities work like this. It also makes no sense for them to be channels as they're instant cast abilities with a rolling animation, it would just make them clunky as hell.

DemonBoneJanglesSep 23, 20161 votes

you are aware this applies to Lucian as well right, but again its intentional because of how they made the ability

Your example of Blitz grabbing a Trist mid rocket jump is not true. You can grab her mid jump and it will bring her to you. Ezreals ult is working as intended (uninterruptible).
