Getting stunned/displaced while under black shield (?)

I was playing Morgana just now and there was a Trundle player on the enemy team.

Several times during the game I was knocked airborne/briefly stunned/displaced by Pillar despite having Black Shield on me. This is a form of disable/displace that should not bypass Black Shield ... it is a clear bug and not intended to function in this manner.

Edit: Video evidence https://youtu.be/5wIof02iGTU Thank you to the guy 'Lelefsky' for the video.

I have a feeling that this is turning into a typical fox news vs guest debate.

Black shield is effected by terrain, for example morgana cant walk through jarvan 4's walls, so if a pillar of ice is put directly under morgana it will force her out of the pillar. terrain > black shield. It isnt a bug, and whine about it all you want but they wont address/fix it because it isnt an issue. have a great day

You know how if you take a Champion with a blink, say like Ezreal's (E) Arcane Shift, and you try to blink over a wall - you can actually click inside the terrain itself, but the game will say, "The Champion cannot exist within this physical space. So I will move you to a nearby 'open' location where you can exist." and it'll either "push" Ezreal on the outside of the wall and he'll get a little extra distance beyond the ability's normal range, or it'll fail and he'll end up on the same side of the wall?

Have you seen that happen? It can happen with flash, blink abilities, etc.

Basically that's what is happening. Morgana is trying to occupy the same space as the terrain so the game moves her. Is it a loophole around her Shield? Sure. Is it a bug? No. It is working at the game is intended to do.

Another way of thinking about it - if that didn't happen, if Morgana could just walk through Trundle's pillar without being obstructed in any way, but then the shield expired while inside the pillar, it could result in her being physically stuck in the space, which is why blinks and jumps work the way I described above.

Since we are all wrong, please explain in detail **how **it should work. If you are Morgana with a black shield and a Trundle places a pillar directly under your feet, what should happen?

Again, Trundle's pillar moving Morgana is not a disable, it is moving because she can't stand inside terrain.

So, since you love saying that Trundle's pillar being terrain is irrelevant, how about you actually explain why it is irrelevant, WITH FACTS, instead of just repeating the same thing over again without any support.

I don't really see this as a bug and I play a lot of Morgana. Her black shield however does block the slow attached to the pillar. The pillar itself is considered terrain, which No champion can walk through. It isn't the pillar spell displacing you, it's the game engine that defines walkable territory bumping you slightly to the closest piece of walkable space.

That is the best way I can think of to describe it. The pillar itself does not do a knockup/displace.
