I don't know about the ability to re-enact this bug (to be fair, I don't know that it's actually a bug, but I have a pretty good idea). Essentially, I wa splaying Malphite for the first time in a while. As we were sieging the enemy mid-lane inner turret, it was about to fall, so I smart pinged "on my way" to the enemy carries. Pressing ult immediately thereafter, I began my charge. Ahri had thrown a charm at the same time. As Malphite went forward, he was hit by the charm, and the ult ended immediately. It was nowhere near the intended destination (I was stopped well short of their carries, and maybe about a third of the range the ult is supposed to have). The slam down animation did not happen, I don't know if damage was dealt (because I did not see the slam animation, and there were no minions there to take damage), and then Malphite walked at Ahri like he normally would from a charm.

I've seen Malphite ult say "CC Immune" when hit by pretty much everything else (Knockups, knockbacks, snares, etc). I've seen him go through Azir ultimate. I don't believe he's supposed to be stopped by an Ahri charm.

Steps:

  1. Press R on Malphite.
  2. Get charmed during the early frames of the animation.
  3. Get charmed out of ult (ult ends immediately, uncertain about damage application, no slam effect [auditory or visually], walk harmlessly at Ahri).
  4. Win the teamfight and game anyway, but be extremely upset that your last ult of the game was trolled so trollishly.

I do not have a video of this interaction.

Malphite is not untargetable during the dash in his ulti, leaving him open to things like arhis charm ,or what happed the other day, master Yi alphasrike.
