BUGS - J4 R (Cataclysm) Ability Issues

Gold Grenade·Jul 30, 2018·1 votes·1,118 views

When you cast your Cataclysm on a enemy champion and they kill you midair casting Cataclysm, the Cataclysm doesnt do damage or create a circle but it goes on cooldown. But when this happens to other champions like Vi,Jinx,Lux,Cait or Pantheon their ulti goes on 10 sec cooldown and when they respawn they have it, while Jarvan has to wait one full cooldown cycle before he is able to cast his ult again.

The R ALSO doesn't follow champions through flash or do the damage if they flash away. This is bad coding which appeared with his rework for teamfights in season 6-7. I've received excuses about it before and other champions do not suffer this (like Garen's R).

Jarvan's ultimate is a POINT AND CLICK ability. Fix the lack of tracking or damage during flashes and its cooldown issue when he is killed midair before the circle is created please.

jarvans ult is a skillshot and not a targeted ability.

if people flash out of the area before they get hit, they dont take damage. this is the same for every area of effect skillshot. if you flash a malphite ult for example, you dont get hit either.

the ult going on full cooldown when you die during the animation, but not for other champions seems inconsistent though.

If it is in fact a "skillshot" though it is a point-and-click ability within the game, then it is a "skillshot" with the worst of both worlds. It cannot be activated without targeting a champion utilizing its point and click targeting.

Make it one, or the other. Either make it able to be used without a champion targeted so it's actually a skillshot, or make it follow like the point and click it currently is.

fine. its an area of effect ability.

think Galio ult. it just targets the area a champion is standing on at the time of casting it, and people can move out of the impact zone after the cast already started. it doesnt target the champion directly.
