Annie Q + W Interaction With Spell Shields [GAMEPLAY]

When playing as Annie recently, I have discovered an interaction between her Q and W and spell shields. When Annie's Q and W hit in quick succession, the damage dealt will appear as the sum of the damage of the two abilities. The two spells will show the damage of one. This, however, also has an interesting reaction with spell shields. When using Annie's Q and W on a spell shielded target, the damage and stun of both will be negated.

Recreating this is quite simple, all you need is a spell shielded target and an Annie. The Annie just has to use her Q and W in quick succession, making sure they land at the same time. It doesn't occur too frequently, but definitely frequently enough to require fixing.

I don't know if this is just an interesting interaction, or a bug similar to Sivir's spell shield bug that occurred a few months ago, but I felt like I should report it anyway. Sincerely, FIyLo.

This is actually not a bug. If any two spells land on someone with an active spell shield at nearly the same time, the spell shield will absorb both spells. It's something that will happen with any two spells that land at the same time, and will happen with any spell shield, whether it be Sivir's, Nocturne's, or Banshee's Veil.
