[Gameplay] When ulting as "Nami" backwards it will shoot the ult forwards

D8J·Mar 26, 2017·1 votes·481 views

Bug Description: This has happened to me a few times now. But basically what happens is occasionally when Ulting backwards while running in the opposite direction of the ult. It will shoot the ult in front of you rather then it's designated spot. This has happened on more than one occasion and is starting to get annoying. Because it's costing myself as well as allies their lives due to basically making me look stupid.

How to reproduce it: Run in the opposite direction that you want to ult then ult behind you. It doesn't happen every time but that is the basics on getting it to happen.

I hope you are able to recreate this because it's getting to the point where i don't want to play nami anymore because of this until it's fixed.

It's got to do with aiming at your portrait causing it to "self cast"; it casts in the direction you're facing when you do that. Hopefully they remove this from skillshot ults.

yea it would make sense but that's pretty stupid. When it comes to self cast they ought to only make it for abilities that have effects on champions. Like heals, shields, ect basically utility spells. I was able to recreate that doing it that way that's really dumb though. Thanks i'll just have to watch my cursor even more now or move my portraits. ;/
