When i was playing games as sivir, i saw that some champs like zed, fizz, whos ults i couldnt block, and fizzs q i couldnt block ether. Why not, when it says it blocks spells, why not those spells?

I think it's a little bugged at the moment, in a recent game I saw it block a Caitlin ultimate used on her ally, yet the spell shield stayed active.

For the ults of Fizz and Zed, the thing is your spellshield will only block the initial portion of both those ults. Examples - Spellshielding the Fizz ult so it won't latch on to you but it will still be able to deal damage after the few seconds passed/ Zed's initial mark can be spellshielded when he attempts to apply it on you but it won't block the detonation of the ult. Yeah sadly spellshield won't counterplay those ults if they are already on you so thats why Quicksilver Sash is able to remove their effects if you somehow didn't spellshield the initial part. As for the Fizz Q you could't block, yes the spellshield should've been able to block that but it goes off fast so maybe you were imagining things.
