Lux Ult Bug

Was in a game with a friend, during the game Lux started her ult, got knocked up by a Yasuo whirlwind, Yasuo ulted her, then in the middle of Yasuo's Ult Lux's Ult finished.

I hope this is a bug? I believe Lux's ult should be cancelled in such an instance.

Also, I know its not a bug, but why isn't Lux's ult blocked by Yasuo's Windwall? Is it possible that her ult finishing isn't a bug and the two are connected in some mechanic I don't know?

A response would be appreciated :)

Lux's ult has an animation, but no cast time. Once she presses R, the only thing that can stop her from Death Starring you is her death. Same with Ezreal.

Lux's ultimate is not a channel; it just has a long cast animation.

Unlike channels, cast animations are not interrupted by anything except death.

Lux's ultimate is not blocked by Yasuo's Windwall because it is not a projectile.

The simplest way to explain Lux's ult is that everyone within the targetted area (the long line in the direction she aimed in) takes damage when it fires. There is no projectile involved.

A similar example would be Cho'gath's Feral Scream; everyone within the zone takes damage and it does not have a projectile.
