[GAMEPLAY] Ahri charm stopping dashes

This has been in the game for far too long and it's annoying as hell.

Ahri's charm stops dashes, which it shouldn't since it isn't Airborne CC or a displacement, seeing how Yasuo can't ult off of it. I can't even count the times i've got my Q as Vi short stopped by charm (and no, not during the charge up, during the dash). It not only cancels the dash but all of its effects as well.

It makes no sense whatsoever for it to shortstop dashes like a knockback or knockup would, since the other closest analogue, Fear/Terrify, another forced movement spell that isn't a displacement, does not stop dashes but is applied after the dash.

Not only that but, as it's generally known, Charm breaks so many spells it's unreal. I've seen it cancel a Vi/Hec/Malph ult outright.

case in point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-cIchM-LC8

Seriously, just scrap the code and adapt the Terrify code for it, but reverse the movement direction. Terrify works perfectly well and has no real issues so there should be none after the change.

As far as i can tell: Fear is coded as "slow + basic movement in the opposite direction" as if i've right clicked - since right click doesn't stop dashes but is applied after the dash finishes, makes sense that fear doesn't either. However, charm seems to be a "slow + stop whatever you're doing to move towards me", which just breaks so many things.

And give us some feedback on this since i've never seen an official statement on this, and it's been in the game for years.

It's generally know that for some time now she can't stop those ults.

But who would read patch notes, right?

PS. This video is from January. That's like before DFG was removed. Go back to your cryostasis.

True, this is so annoying... For whatever reason only charm out of all foced action cc stops dashes. It can still stop abilities that are even supposed to be unstoppable. They said they fixed this... ( by the way i think wat you're talking about is ''flee''/''terrify'' not ''fear'', fear makes the target run around aimlessly like fiddle's Q used to do. But i guess its ok since the only champion with such a cc left is Volibear and he can only use it on minions )

Charm still stops everything and essentially acts as an knockdown effect instead of being a taunt.

which means u can interrupt tristana's jump with it for example, which makes.. hmm.. no sense?
