bug with poppy and yasuo ultimates

I don't have video of this, as i didn't had shadow play available at that game, so ill try to explain everything step-by-step..

So, what happened, was that poppy started her ultimate animation (on me), but, before the animation finished (before i was launched in the air) my teammate knocked her in the air, meaning i could use my ultimate (as yasuo) to jump on her, which i did. But what happened, before i managed to get to her (meaning before yasuo ult animation finished - i did jump to her in the air) i was launched back to my base (from poppy ultimate), but.. my yasuo ultimate (even though my character was flying away from poppy's ultimate) still killed poppy. I could her the yasuo ultimate sounds (u know, him screaming and hitting enemy), even though i was nowhere near her (puppy). When yasuo ultimate sounds finished (and i was far away from poppy at that moment) puppy died from yasuo (me).

I didn't had any type of poison or magic damage, that could have killed her. I didn't had ignite available as well (meaning it was on cooldown).

My items where: Static Shiv, Infinity Edge, BF Sword, vampiric scepter.

If any extra information is needed, i'll gladly provide it.

So, to summarize.. i killed puppy with yasuo ultimate even though i wasn't near her when my ultimate sounds finished. I wasn't near, cos she used her ultimate before i initialized mine.

I think it just works the same way when an Alastair knocks back a yasuo while yasuo is ulting. So it did what it was supposed to do.

I don't believe this is a bug. There are a few key points here:

Cast times are not stopped/interrupted by CC. Yasuo is still targetable during his Ultimate

So I believe this is what happened:

  1. Poppy starts her Ultimate cast animation (not the channel, the "spinning" part where she is winding up but actually starting the animation where she is hitting the ground). Because the ability is being cast, it will not be interrupted.
  2. Poppy gets knocked up
  3. Poppy's ult "fires" 3.5) Yasuo Ults towards Poppy

Now, Poppy's Ult is a projectile, and Yasuo is still targetable during his ultimate. So if it all happened fast enough, Yasuo's Ult may have basically intercepted with Poppy's ult - he appeared at her location as the projectile began moving, so it hit Yasuo. That would send Yasuo back, but since his ultimate had been cast (and cast times cannot be interrupted) his ultimate (including the damage) still goes off, even though Yasuo is no longer physically there.
