BUG GAMEPLAY RYZE ULT + MALZAHAR

FoodLoveFeed·7/27/2016, 11:43:32 PM·1 votes·746 views

So I was playing a bot game. Just for fun. And I wanted to test the new Ryze and stuff. So coincidentally i had a Malzahar in my team. Since he got a rework, just like Ryze, his passive blocks spells and damage. At the end of this game I wanted to port my team into the enemys nexus tower. Not on purpose of course :^).

Now it's time to describe what happened. I pressed R as Ryze. I saw the animation of my ultimate. And as soon as it was ready to teleport people (here espacially Malzahar) nothing happened. Malzahar stood still on his place. His passive was gone.

I really don't know if this is a bug. it could be that Riot wants this to happen. But since I was in his team and his passive blocked an ally ult, I am wondering if this isn't a bug. And what if Ryzes ult isn't the only ability that get's blocked by his shield as an ally player?

it would be nice if anyone wound respond too my "bug" report. If it is one. And sorry for my bad english skills. I am not a native speaker. Hope everything is understandable. Greetings Creeperfisch

It might be intentional.

The logic behind my assumption is Malzahar's passive can also block Bard's ult, whether ally or enemy. The way I see it, stasis can be considered a "neutral" effect, seeing as the effect itself is neither positive or negative. Stasis can end up saving your life, or put you in an even worse situation. How and when it's used is what matters.

With that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising if Ryze's ult is in that same category. I haven't seen or tested it, but the passive might also block an ally Tahm's Devour.

Put simply, if all of what I said is correct, effects that attempt to force an ally's movements (stop or move) are blocked by Malzahar's passive.
