[Gameplay] Rumble's flamespitter keeps channeling and deals damage inside and outside of Tahm Kench

Description: When Tahm Kench devours an enemy Rumble with flamesplitter on, the flames keep channeling and Tahm takes damage.

Repro:

Get Tahm Kench
Get Rumble in enemy team
Rumble activates flamespitter
Tahm hits Rumble and devours him while flame splitter is active
Notice flames coming out of Tahm and the huge damage that Tahm takes :(

This looks like a bug to me, both visually and as damage behaviour. Please reply if it's indeed a bug and if you need videos.

Thats because its a directional ability attached to the model that's programmed to continue going under any circumstance.

Its why using zhonyas and flamesplitter still works.

If flamesplitter lasted longer, or rumble's dance started sooner, super galaxy rumble would dance in flames.

Another interaction with kench and these abilities is jhin and lucian's ults will not cancel if allied kench eats them (unless they fixed that recently)

I'm really not 100% on that.

I know for a fact swain's ult does keep going while inside kench (I've flamed tahm kenches way too many times for giving enemy swains pentas...).

If rumble's Q should stop inside an enemy kench, I don't really know since he has much more unique mechanics with how his kit synergies with itself. I think even his animations change entirely so canceling the ult may model break or something? Something for riot to look into.

its the same with Luc ult and ASol stars

I guess we need clarification on the correct behaviour of directional abilities inside Tahm XD
