Galio Ult and Rek' Sai Un-borrowing

UltimoFive·12/29/2014, 7:39:00 AM·1 votes·2,221 views

When playing I slowly found out that when uses his ult it would keep getting interrupted, at first I thought it was stunning me, but at one point Leona wasn't around and only . So in order for our team to get the advantage and fight without the Leona there I used ult in order to taunt and the other three members of the enemy team that were there. For some reason in order for to be taunted to attack Galio she must un-borrow. Well when she un-borrows she knocks up , making Galio's ult useless and turning a winning easy fight into a disaster. This is my first time posting a bug, so hopefully no one will be rude to this, but I hope someone responds. This isn't a fair bug with and , even though not that many people play .

thats not a bug. a taunt would force her to attack and her next attack will unburrow her and knock up whoever is around her.

sounds WAI to me

It honestly makes sense. Taunt forces the champion to attack, to attack Rek'Sai needs to be unburrowed, to get unburrowed she needs to come out of the ground which causes the knock up. For those mentioning that this is a "forced stance change" and that Riot doesn't like it, how is it supposed to interact with other taunts like Shen and Rammus? Should she just not come up? That seems a little silly considering that those guys (especially Rammus) want people to attack them. Its the same thing as Ulting Udyr with his Bear Stance, instant cancel. It's a pain sure but it's honestly just mechanics working off of eachother.

unburrowing to knock up is a skill if im not mistaken, so wouldnt it make sense to be situational, meaning if galio ults reksai while reksai is on him then he would be knocked up but if galio ults reksai while shes at the edge of galios ult she should unburrow and then move closer to galio and start attacking? i dont play either champs so i have no real understanding atm, but i would think that reksais being burrowed shouldnt be a guarenteed counter to galios ult (no skill involved so galio doesnt ult near a burrowed reksai ever) but instead a skill based thing (oh no! galio will probly ult right now, i should move right under him or out of his ult range [situationally] this way there is still an uh oh zone for reksai while burrowed though its small its still there)

Rek'Sai can attempt to basic attack enemies while burrowed to trigger Unburrow.

As much as it may seem unfair against this one champ, this is her interaction. If burrowed, she triggers unburrow on a basic attack. By taunting, you force a basic attack. It'd be similar to Leona having her Q hit, then being taunted. As soon as her Q hits you, you'd be knocked out of it due to the stun.

You can still get targetted even if you're burrowed, so taunt will force you to borrow out and attacks.
