Malzahar/Mordenkeiser Ult Bug or latency issue?
Not sure if it's been reported before but recently I was playing a game where myself and my team were comfortably ahead. There came a point where I had all the power items I needed and faced the other team's Mordenkeiser near his base turret. I was playing with a friend who also saw what happened next on his screen, but essentially it went like this:
I turn the corner and see Mordenkeiser and apparently get the drop on him by landing Malefic visions, Null zone, and Nether Grasp. The Mord didn't have any of his shielding up and predictably his health dropped quickly until it was almost zero, Nether grasp ended and I was preparing to follow up but found his health shoot all the way back up to full, and then his shield come up to toal full ness and my health go from zero health gone to dead as he ulted me with his ult. There was a ghost of me that appeared on my screen as i was still in my nether grasp animation on both my own and my friend's screens.
I post this as a bug since it has elements that would seem to clash, with or with out any sort of lag compensation/latency issues. However it also has a strong element pointing toward this issue also. The Mord did have spell vamp but that's not enough to cause his health to go from about 5% back to 100% with full shielding--if spell vamp even adds to that.
The net result was as dramatic as I just described it. I Nether Grasp Mordenkeiser, through the full duration of the channel, he comes out of the suppression his ult (Children of the Grave?) seems to have already been executed somewhere in that time frame. My health drops from 100% to zero, his from about 5% to 100% and his shield from nothing to full all within about 3/4 of a second, the bar animations hardly keeping up.
My friend says he saw my ghost from Children of the Grave next to my figure for about a second or two before I died. Since this was a situation where I was literally coming around a blind corner, and he doing the same there could be what appears to be very very generous lag compensation thing here, which for the length of an entire channel equates to revisionist history.
Then again , could be some animation elements here too I imagine, but there is also the very real possibility that there is a bug with these two ults, their mechanics/spell vamp or other itemization elements.
I believe it was this match:

I don't have any replays though
