[GAMEPLAY] Champions do not care about Shen's Taunt
Let me preface this by saying that I have played Shen pretty religiously since season 2--a game a day on average at least--and that this isn't something that started occurring until this season. At first I thought it was a one off: some lag maybe. . But this has happened at least two dozen times now; at least
I use shadow dash on an enemy, and that enemy simply does not care, and continues doing whatever it was they were doing before. They aren't clensing it; they don't have banshee's viel. The taunted "aura" appears on them, but the enemy champions simply does not care about being taunted.
Lets says, the enemy team is hounding my ally: in fact, this scene did happen in my last game, with Eve, chasing after my Cassiopia. Shen steps forward, and shadow dashes through Eve, striking them. Rationally, this should stop Eve's advance. The result?
Before dash:

After dash:

That's what's happening right now, sometimes, when Shen successfully taunts a target. Again, they are definitely taunted, with the taunted aura active on them. I've seen targets--with the taunted aura active on them--completely ignore the entire duration of taunt. Maybe not using any spells during it, but continuing--uninterrupted--along their original path, and even auto-attacking their original target. It's not "some lag;" the game continues on like that. And this isn't something that happened once: it's happened many times now.
Often, only the very end of the taunt will take effect, which is far from ideal. Frequently, about .8 seconds of taunt will be ignored. If they have mercury treads, then that's not a whole lot of taunt effect that's actually occuring.
Riot, do you see what you did? You messed up Shen so much now, that the other champions on the battlefield don't respect him anymore!! Maybe give him back his ability to ult cancel--like you can with standard teleport--and see if the other champions like him more then. In fact, that's another bug: just today, I ulted someone, who then died, and I still remained rooted in place until the channel ends! How could this have made it through beta. .
