[GAMEPLAY] Malzahar Suppression breaking to Udyr Bear Stance Stun

It appears Udyr Udyr's bear stance (stun) breaks Malzahar Malzahar suppression? Three situations:

  1. Udyr lands bear stance stun preventing Malzahar casting Nethergrasp until out of stun;

  2. Malzahar casts Nether Grasp first and Udyr cannot land punch until suppression ends or cleansesummoner 1 .

  3. Malzahar casts ult and begins suppression but Udyr still allowed to initiate stun then canceling Malzahar's ult.

It was my belief that 1 & 2 were intended... and that 3 would not be. I get it that Malzahar's ult must be channeled and can be broken... but how is it broken by the person being suppressed? Now if you told me that in a situation like Fiddle Sticks throwing a Dark Wind, then Malzahar casting Nether Grasp before the crow hits him, then the crow hits and breaks... I would at least understand that because there is a delay from when Fiddle Sticks casts to when it lands. But Udyr is an auto attack in bear stance?

Intended?

The events involved an Udyr charging me (as Malzahar) where I would W-Q-E-R before he got within melee range... As I was casting R Udyr would always be outside of auto attack range... The suppression would begin but would then immediately stop after registering a stun by Udyr's bear stance.

My point is either 1) Udyr's stun should register first preventing the cast of Malzahar's Nethergrasp for a few seconds; or 2) Malzahar's Nethergrasp should prevent the auto attack stunning Malzahar after he has suppressed Udyr.

*The cleanse comment was me speculating as to the only way a player (1v1) should be able to break Malzahar's ult... well that and quicksilver sashitem 3140
