Bard's E in Dragon Pit

Emerald Unicorn·Apr 23, 2015·2 votes·904 views

This has happened to me twice so far, out of about 15 games with the Bard...

I would try to E from the North side of the Southern outcropping on the Dragon Pit down to the tri-bush area and would get stuck in an area that I would naturally assume is not meant to be occupied by players (or creatures). It seems there is a hollow area between the stone and the trees on the bottom right of the pit. I am not sure if you can walk out of this area eventually, but the auto-pathing just made me jitter around in that one spot for a second or two, where I was quickly killed by the enemies I was attempting to flee from.

I will investigate this bug for myself.

Do you remember what the targeter for Bard's portal looked like (i.e. did it seem like it was going to portal all the way through?)
Was the **actual exit for the portal **in this "hollow space", or were you dumped out of it before even reaching the "end" of the tunnel?
Could you locate on the attached image where, exactly, your tunnel started, ended, and where you got stuck in the terrain? Use ABCDE or use the dashed lines as a sort of coordinate system to describe a point.
Lastly, were you stunned/snared in any way while midway through the tunnel?

Thanks for the response.

I honestly had no indication of where it would end (Quick Cast on).
The enemies were coming from mid lane (saw them coming via a ward) so I would have gotten away if I hadn't gotten stuck, assuming the tunnel went all the way... I can't remember now if when I cast the tunnel it showed as going all the way through or not. Sorry about that. I can try to replicate it in a custom game and get back to you.
Location B on the map is basically where I ended up, My starting point was just above A, on the very tip of the rock. I was attempting to end up just below C, roughly.
No. To clarify my earlier sentence, I knew they were coming and was attempting to preemptively escape through the terrain. I just ended up in location B, jittering around when I attempted to click move. A second or two later they were there and they killed me pretty much instantly.

EDIT: I just attempted to recreate the event and I realized that the top waterfall by the Dragon is not terrain as I had always assumed, so when I created the portal it simply took me through the rock and I ended up on that waterfall. So the portal seems to be working as "intended". With that, I can only assume that the inability to move was a bug, or maybe just the auto-pathing struggling to get me where I wanted to go. In my custom game where I recreated the scenario I did jitter around for a moment but did walk out the entrance to the Dragon Pit within 2 or 3 seconds. Though, strategically, that ends up being useless as I end up where I started my Magical Journey.

I had not realized that the walkable terrain in the pit was not perfectly spherical, but more like a gear with cogs. My portal simply brought me to one of the "cogs" that jutted out.
