[GAMEPLAY] Morgana Black Shield does not put Tahm Devour on CD, and refunds the mana

DementuZ··31 votes·4,901 views

This is a very reproduceable bug, it happens every time. If Tahm uses Devour on a three-stacked Morgana with Black Shield on, instead of going on cooldown and costing mana, it resets, giving Tahm no Cooldown and refunds the cost of Devour. He can thereby spam W until Black Shield times out, and get his Devour off.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Get into a custom game with Morgana and Tahm on opposing teams.
  2. Morgana levels Black Shield, Tahm picks Devour.
  3. Meet up somewhere, Tahm builds up three stacks on Morgana with melee.
  4. Morgana puts Black Shield on herself.
  5. Tahm uses Devour on Morgana.
  6. Repeat step 5 ad nauseum.
  7. Bug Confirmed.

Can be reproduced at will in build 5.24.15_12_11_17_53 (and earlier, first instance I noticed was around 6th of December 2015)

Side notes: Morgana Black shield does not appear to take Damage from Tahm's Devour, meaning he cannot break the shield with Devour. But seeing as Devour does not go on cooldown nor cost mana, he can literally spam it until black shield goes out, getting the devour anyway.

It's not a bug exactly... This is known behavior, and possibly intended.

I originally posted the video to the Riot Support twitter, and they told me to post here, so here I am :p

This is a more appropriate place, I'm just saying that based on the nature of the ability this interaction sort of makes sense. This is probably an intended feature.

i highly doubt this was intended by riot

i know riot has released some broken things throughout their time with this game but i highly doubt this was intended

ps ppl probly gave u so many downvotes because u suggested they released this intentionally

I don't see why that would earn me downvotes, since I'm not responsible for that being the case.

This interaction is also with Fiora's counter. It's kind of a big thing to miss which is why I said its intentional.

Why? What other ability goes off cooldown or has mana refunded if another champion spell-shields that ability?

The shield costs mana and goes on cooldown, and so even if the Morgana used her shield effectively to save someone from Devour, that person is at risk of being devoured again immediately after it drops.

And on the subject of things going on/off cooldown when they shouldn't...
If Nautilus casts his ultimate but the target dies before the ult hits them (or anything else), the ult goes on full cooldown and Nautilus is not even credited with an assist. If that causes a loss of mana and cooldown, then how is Tahm allowed to get away with the refund?

I don't know. I think that at the very least they should lose their stacks if he tries to eat them and fails for any reason. It's possibly a QoL issue because of how difficult his Devour is to target, so he can't just lose his devour by accidentally trying to eat a shielded target.

I definitely agree that if they want to take power from his kit this is a very obvious place to do it because it's a weird interaction that prevents good play from punishing him.

It might be an interaction between the his stacks and Devour Like it goes on Cooldown when his passive stacks are consumed or something

Although, Spellshields block it perfectly fine so I don't know

It's so Tahm can make the most hideous noise in the game by repeatedly trying to eat her

Zhonya's and spell shield are not the same thing.

so to continue the trend of completely unrelated topics...

Bug noticed!!! when I ult as morgana, sometimes I cant see the circle.

Why is this being downvoted? I don't agree with the decision, I'm just pointing out that I'm pretty sure this was a decision that Riot actively made.

Im pretty sure this works quite similarly with Fioras parry but I'm kinda too lazy to check

The same thing happens if you try to devour an Olaf while his ult is active. Just thought I'd toss that info in here.
