Bard Ult Cancels Galio Ult

ModKnightsKemplar··1 votes·858 views

I flash ulted ( as Galio) immediately prior to bard ult landing on me, and it completely cancelled it. I mean, once his ult was over, I didn't resume mine, and the damage never went to anyone (obviously). I wouldn't think this was intended. If it is, my mistake. Please advise and update, anyone!

This is intended, Galio ult is a channel effect so any hard disable will cancel it, similar to Katarina or Nunu ult, which are also cancelled by Bard ult

nunu and galio ult should be changed to do their damge right before everyone is stasis ed tho

If you can react to the bard ult you can just issue a move command and the ults will go off early enough to do the damage before the stasis, there's no reason it would need to be changed

Galio is pretty reliant on his ult and is hard pressed to do anything with out it being melee. The change would only do damage up to the point when it is stopped rather than its full charged worth. Then again I dont play much Galio more than the average player but not a main.

You can fairly easily proc the damage yourself, making it an automatic thing doesn't really help Galio out at all, why automate something that you can easily do yourself?

they do it all the time for carries and call it quality of life changes

It's an oddly specific interaction that only helps you if you're not paying attention, a better buff would be to have the cooldown of his ultimate reduced if it was cancelled early.

thats what quality of life changes do just a pity that i cant remember any others

Ziggs Q had a pretty good example of one from a while back, where if he cast it with the cursor outside of the max range he would no longer walk into range to hit the cursor location but instead have the Q fire from Ziggs' current location and travel the maximum distance. I'm familiar with QoL changes, though what you're suggesting seems closer to the recent fiddlesticks change where he stops his idle animation after 5 seconds, it really doesn't impact the gameplay positively or negatively except in really specific situations, which limits its usefulness.

Intended.

If activating Zhonya's Hourglass would interrupt an ability, so would getting hit with Bard's ultimate.

But I thought it would resume after hourglass wore off, like kata ult. No?

I'm pretty sure Death Lotus stops after you are placed in stasis.

If it isn't, that is likely a bug.

Are you sure you aren't mistaking her W for her ultimate or that the Katarina you saw didn't get enough assists to fully refresh her ultimate during the time she was in stasis?

I might be totally wrong, but I thought it resumed.

Katarina's ult does not resume. It is cancelled entirely, exactly like your scenario with Galio. It may be harder to see it happening to Katarina, because she usually goes right on flashing her blades (W) as soon as the stasis is over. Or maybe she got a couple of assists so she can ult again right after.
