As a Thresh main, I find this issue a bit troubling. When playing as Thresh in game, if I hook (Q) Lux while she is ulting, even though I am not in range of the ult, I will still take damage. This has happened to me twice, both times has gotten me killed. Anyone else find this happening to them?
Asyde35 votesDear OP, post this in your thread. This is a video of the exact problem your having. It will help Riot address the issue
kDrakari4 votesWell that's pretty clear. My question is, does it CHANGE the direction of the ult, or does it still hit the normal direction as well?

Not sure, haven't found any other videos with different interactions of the bug.
My guess (purely conjecture) is that since there is a time delay from when the animation starts to when the damage is applied, the animation gets separated from the damage output. Basically, hook lands just after animation starts but before the damage has initiated. Since Lux's direction has now been forced to change in-between when the animation starts and when the damage launches, it redirected the damage but not the animation.
Logic path: Lux initiates spell > Lux stops moving > Animation Initiates in current direction > Thresh lands hook (animation still going) > Lux direction forced to change (animation still going) > Damage now initiates in current direction (different from animation) > Animation finishes (still in initial direction)
46009412_DEL2 votesOne small change. The animation finishes while intended, damage hits both directions (two lux ults at once, one at the initial aim and the second towards thresh.)

I know for a fact it's not damaging in two directions. It's a visual bug only. I know this as someone who used to play a lot of Lux. There's a bug where you can start channelling Final Spark in one direction and then flash in a different direction. The ult will visually appear to go in the direction you were channelling, but it will only damage in the direction you flashed in.
TL;DR this is a bug where the visual effect of Final Spark does not update if the direction Lux is facing changes as she's channelling.
Emperor Time4 votesHoly shit that's on old summoners rift, how long has this bug been in the fucking game?!
Banana Nations4 votesThere are a lot of bugs that stay in the dark for a long time like this one. Alike to Shen not teleporting to people sometimes that lasted for 2 seasons I believe.
LankPants3 votesLux's ult has always done this.
The visual is locked when she aims the ult but the actual hitbox isn't decided until she fires it. Because you force Lux to turn around with Threshes hook you forced Lux's ult to swing 90 degrees too.
Personally I don't mind that Lux's ult can be moved, it seems pretty reasonable actually. I'd like it if Riot could update the ult graphic so it moved with her though.

J Eevo4 votesFinal spark is a cast, not a channel, There's no way to cancel it if she already started casting it, regardless of what you do, same thing with Ezreal's ult.
#EDIT: And I'll remind you THIS is a thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfg1XgHyx_k So yeah, spaghetti coding at it's best.
Uiraya13 votesHe's saying he's getting hit by it even when she's aiming it somewhere else.
Which, while hilarious, is probably unintended.
46009412_DEL2 voteswhat he said^
J Eevo2 votesI guess because the Thresh hook physically drags your opponent (Which btw, is coded as them WALKING TOWARDS YOU, because spaghetti coding) it counts as lux turning towards you.
Which I'm not gonna lie, sounds hilarious xD
46009412_DEL2 votescan anyone confirm that it is coded this way? because if true, should this be qualified as a bug, therefore should be fixed? or should i be banning lux whenever I get support in dyna queue?
Akenero1 votesIt's actually coded as a knock back, since yasuo can ult off of it(knockup and knock back are the same)
Pledgie1 votesno, flay is considered a knockup/knockback (displacement) while q is coded as a stun.
46009412_DEL4 votesYas can ult of thresh q
Pledgie1 votesive never seen that happen before
Ariel the Cruel1 votesThresh hook has a 2 second stun, and 2 0.25 second displacements (The pulling animation).
Any time you hove against your will, it's a displacement and Yas can ult off it. Some champions can displace themselves (Ziggs and thresh lantern), but the system delineates between allied and enemy displacements. Technically, there are no knock-ups (Contrary to Yas' tooltip).
Pledgie1 voteswow thats crazy i had no idea. but a quarter of a second to react and ult is probably why ive never seen it done in my elo.
Spaceman5pff1 votesIf you just kinda spam r on someone being held by thresh, you will get it.
iamthegoatofwar3 votesit can stop if you KILL them mid cast. I believe riot has said that's the only way to stop their ults.

Didn't read the OP, comments anyway. gg

B-But literally everything I said is true - she casts it, you turn her around, she fires on you instead of her target, but she still fires, since it can't be interrupted.
Also, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfg1XgHyx_k is a thing and has been for ages.
LazyW0lf2 votesAre other teammates being hit? The only thing I could think of would be spaghetti code where when thresh hooks somebody, they are force to face him, turning Final Spark towards you and basically becoming the sacrificial lamb.
46009412_DEL2 votesother teammates are being hit, it doesn't drag Lux so she faces me. Her ult hits her regular path, and damages me as well, although I am not in range of her ult.
desertoflame2 votesThis is a visual bug If you flash right before the HAAAAAAA you can hit the laser at the place you are facing after the flash. Since thresh hook makes her look in your direction, it is basicly being casted at you but the animation doesnt change
Rozair2 votesLux ult should be canceled by it because she is channeling. this is he biggest glitch about it
Phairdy1 votesNope, it is not a channel, Just a delayed ult nothing glitchy about it.
Aeolian Melodies2 votesLux ult should be canceled by it because she is channeling. this is he biggest glitch about it
She isn't channeling, she has a casting animation to provide a delay to make the skill easier to avoid.
Luxs Destiny1 votesSo, to recreate,
Cast Death Sentence Lux cast Final Spark before Death Sentence connects Take damage from Final Spark, regardless of position
Am I understanding this correctly?
46009412_DEL2 votesexactly. happened to me twice so far, I believe its a consistent bug.
Luxs Destiny2 votesIt may be possible that your hook is being counted as a part of your champion, and since it wraps around Lux and drags her, the final spark would hit the hook (started near her character model) and would deal damage to you.
46009412_DEL2 votesI doubt this is true, one of the two times it happened I hit her from behind her, which would mean i was out of ult range entirely.

Woah woah woah If your hooking lux you are forsure in range of that ult LOL! Do you know how far her ult goes?! I lol'ed so hard when you said that. 2ed if she gets moved while ulting the lazer will move towards that direction say as you hook her you are moving her too you thus your getting a face full of ult. Its not a bug [slayer-jinx-catface]
LithiumWednesday4 votesI mean you're not wrong but I think he means that he's hooked her from an angle where her ult wouldn't normally hit him
