[GAMEPLAY] Alistar Double Knockback Distance

Ignore any footage except for knocking back the Lucian into River, that was me just getting annoyed because everyone flashed my headbutt.

As Alistar, I don't play him a ton, but I know that if you combo W and Q midair, you are supposed to knock up where you land.

In this video, I am not quite sure of how this even happened, but it happened multiple times this game. I would do the regular WQ but instead of just knocking them up it would double the knockback distance and apply the knockup while they are being knockback again and the final knockback debuff when they land.

I'm only B1 (going to get Silver this season even if it kills me, I just don't have time for ranked) but I'm fairly certain this isn't supposed to happen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I got ;)

Edit: It's not that lucian is being knocked back twice, but the WQ combo goes off but he is knocked back as if I W'd him again after knocking him up

If your Pulverize hits them after they've flown just a bit too far, they will go all the way out and get knocked up there. It's probably the same mechanic as jumps/dashes that make them go to their destination even if they were hit with a stun on the way there (it prevents them from stopping mid jump and getting stuck in terrain).

Same just happened to me, the character also travelled further then in this video. Seems to trigger W twice.
