Kassadin's Null Sphere not canceling/preventing Malzahar's ult

Hey, I just played an aram game where I kept getting the ult from Malzahar split second after I null sphered him. I saw the ball hit him; however, it did not prevent/cancel his ult.

I was wondering if this was a known issue or if it has been reproduced anywhere else. I'll join up if someone wants to test with me.

Wait so his null sphere cancels Malzahar's ult, no silence needed? How does that work? Is it because they are both void related?

I don't believe his ult counts as channeling, he suppressing himself and his target

If he is ulting AFTER you hit him with Null Sphere, then this is not a bug. Null Sphere will only cancel channels, but it does not prevent them, so if the Malzahar waited until after Null Sphere hit him then his ultimate will still go off.

However, if Null Sphere hit Malzahar after he started ulting, then yes the ultimate should be canceled.

Keep in mind Malz ult has a slight 0.25 second-ish delay before the start of the channel. So if you hit him during the wind-up you won't cancel it.
