GAMEPLAY - Zilean stun hides Thresh hook animation.

WARNING - Video has a bad word (I say WTF!!!)

Basically I stunned Thresh but he had his hook queued and so it threw the hook while he was still in a stunned animation. Apparently he was suppose to continue his hook animation or something not really sure how that interaction is suppose to work but don't think this was it.

It's either bug or script ? Just the whole fact that he wasn't afraid of being so exposed makes it weird.

It's called buffer input canceling and is part of the game. If you cast something with a cast time it can't be interrupted once started. The problem wasn't that he got to throw the hook, but rather there was no animation of him throwing it before it shot out of his stomach XD

I am assuming it has something to do with when a bomb is placed on a character it resets the animation somehow in order to add the bomb above their head and in this case it removed his "windup" animation for his hook.

Well, you are wrong. I main ZIlean I have stunned Thresh multiple times at the time he swung his huk. I never had this problem shown in this video though. I am surprised no less than OP. You would be correct, if he would be stunned at the time the huk is moving already, but in this case the huk wasn't initiated before the stun. In the slow mo video, Thresh got stunned at 46s - there is no indication of his huk yet. On 50s, for some unknown reason Thresh start to move and throws the huk without swinging the huk, yet he is still stunned. On 58s the stun is over.

I am the op....

What I am saying is if you watch it slow motion you can see the thresh model reload when the first bomb is applied. I am suggestion that he cast the hook at that exact moment so his "begin" animation was overrode by the bomb over his head reloading his character display to include the bomb.

I was watching carefully but there was no "begin" of his huk. He never initiated before he got stun, the huk was always facing ground the entire time. Of course, that must be a bug. If animation is canceled, then it shouldn't work.

If you watch when the first bomb hits the thresh model is re-rendered or something so I think that is why his hook animation was never shown.
