[GAMEPLAY] New Nunu Ultimate Instapop oneshot bug

wakfi·11/10/2017, 12:56:03 AM·3 votes·976 views

The above video was given in the reddit bug report megathread showing the bug in action in an ARAM game. I then tested it until I was able to determine the source with 100% reproduction rate. Effectively, this bug results in Nunu Ultimate dealing full channel damage without fully channeling it. 0.1 second channel or 2.4 second channel, all lengths will deal maximum damage. The cause is any Forced Action Crowd Control.

Steps:

  1. Play Nunu when the enemy team has Forced Action CC (Taunt, Fear, Charm)
  2. Begin channeling your Ultimate
  3. Have your Ultimate channel interrupted by a Forced Action CC before the channel completes
  4. Your Ultimate will deal maximum full channel damage regardless of how long it was channeled before being interrupted

I have recorded videos of each of the tests done, it was easier to put them in this playlist. The playlist is in order of: CC that causes bug, a control case where nunu self cancels, and then CC that doesn't cause the bug.

Thanks to Draconian Mage for help testing these and u/moustafazayyat for finding/reporting this bug in the first place

My brother and I tested it and found out that taunts is causing this to happen. So only Rammus Shen and Galio can make this happen.

Did you maybe notice anything odd with that bugged ult? Today i was plaing against nunu and that bug occured but in addition to what you reported my team got hit 2 times (both for around full cast time dmg amount ~1k per hit) from single Absolute Zero. Analyzed replay, nunu had 1k max channeling damage at that moment yet everyone got hit by 1,9-2,1k from it.
