Sivir and Leona interaction

ÄIex·Oct 27, 2016·1 votes·1,401 views

When Leona E's onto a Sivir who spell shielded the e she still dashes to Sivir, only the .5 second root is shielded. Is this really how its supposed to work? This bug is pretty game breaking in my opinion especially considering people who don't know this (as I'm pretty sure it's an unintended bug) wont save spell shield for Leona's Q. I was using the snowstorm Sivir skin, I hope this isn't because some dumb easter egg where all of Leona's abilities do one more damage to snow or water champions thus causing her to dash.

No, it's intended. All spell shields block the root but not the dash.

How is that intended? If you block the ability it shouldn't go off. Also I don't know what Sivir E says in game, but on lol wiki it says "if she damages an enemy champion" she cant damage me with her E if I spell shield it. Sorry don't mean to sound mad at you lol

I know it doesn't make sense and it's infuriating as the Sivir, but it's been that way forever. Goes straight through banshee's too. If anything I guess it's a bug with Leona E tooltip. Good catch^^

Leona's E is actually two parts. The damage on passthrough, then the root/dash should be the second part. If anything it's a bug to be blocking the root.

Sion ult is similar. Banshees breaks on the damage, then the knockup effect goes through.

Yup; the problem is that the ability description says:

"ACTIVE: Leona projects a solar image of her sword, dealing magic damage to all enemies it passes through. If she damages an enemy champion, she will dash to the last one struck and Root icon root them for 0.5 seconds."

its is intended to work in that way spell-shields like banshee, nocs, sivir, morgana etc, block cc and negate damage, Leona e will always make her dash to the last target hit with her E even if they don't get rooted, on only certain knock back skills will stop her dash, but has a Leona main i learn to play around disengage skills that would stop my engage, just like how thresh well timed flayed will stop most dash, Leona can still dash to her target if she is knocked back just has her e lands, if she is knocked back before she performs her dash then she will immediately dash after she been knocked back
