[Gameplay] Lulu W goes on cooldown after being used on Master Yi when he goes invulnerable in his Q

Edit:

My question has been answered. Thank you!

Original Post:

Just got done with a game, this is what happened:

  1. I would use Lulu's W on Master Yi
  2. Before I would cast it, Master Yi would begin the animation for his Q
  3. Master Yi then enters Alpha Strike while at the same time Lulu's W goes off (this includes all animations and sounds)
  4. Master Yi then exits Alpha Strike, Lulu has taken full damage, and Lulu's W is on cooldown

Is this a bug or a really poor use of reactions on my part as a player?

Not really a bug. Lulu's W can't cancel any cast time that isn't a channeled ability. So for example, it'll stop Katarina's ult, however it will not stop Lux's ult if you were to W her as she begins casting it. Hope this helps! :)

That's how it is for everything.

If the spell cast goes off and is in the air then as far as the client is concerned the spell has been cast so the cooldown begins.

Whether it hits or not is irrelevant.

Cooldowns begin on spell cast not on a spell landing
