Warwick Ult bug

I was playing ARAM with leblanc against a warwick and right as I w'd forward into him he ulted me and we basically switched places. I was unable to move and neither was Warwick but i could not cast any spells besides my w to go back to my original location where I became suppressed by Warwicks ult. And then when I returned to that spot all of the damage Warwicks ult would have cause if I was still in it happened immediately. Anyone else have this happen before?

Ability interactions can be kinda weird when things happen at almost the same time. If both players' clients report they fired conflicting abilities at each other at almost the same time, the League server tends towards trying to let them both go off and then dealing with whatever happens. (There are tradeoffs to any way of resolving such conflicts. Many other games work like League does. For example, in World of Warcraft PvP, two players can stun each other simultaneously. In some FPS games it's possible for two players to, say, headshot each other with hitscan sniper rifles that fire "instantly".)

It sounds like both abilities fired, you teleported, and he blinked to your old location and "suppressed" you. Because your ability didn't CC him, the suppression kept going (although you probably damaged him). I'm guessing they didn't take this sort of thing into account in the coding for LB's W and that's why you were able to W again while suppressed.
