NUNU ninja nerf ?

archonshope··1 votes·1,093 views

Just played a game on Dominion. When you ult + woooglet (zhonya version of dominion) the zhonya cancels the ult ?

Shouldn't it work like a morgana ult ? If you start the ult, and use zhonya, the channel time should continue while frozen in place.

Can someone test this on the different maps with Nunu/Morgana and zhonya/Wooglet to determine the problem ?

I'm gone sleep soon :3

Soul Shackles isn't a channeled ability - Absolute Zero is.

That would explain a lot :)

It's always been like that... that's how it's supposed to work.

It's always been like that... that's how it's supposed to work.

there is a big difference between

"it's always been like that" and "that's how it's supposed to work."

For consistency sake, similar abilities should all work in the same way.

Soul Shackles isn't a channeled ability - Absolute Zero is.

Thanks for pointing that out 12Tales, I always thought they both where channeling abilities. After looking this up the description for nunu's ult clearly states it's a channel and for morgana they don't mention anything about channeling.

  1. To me Morgana's ult is clearly a channel :

use ability deal effect over time have to maintain spell over time

both nunu and morgana's ult follow the above description (imo defines a channeling spell?) correct me if I'm wrong . What exactly is the difference between these 2 ults and what makes morgana's ult not fall under the category channeling spell ?

  1. The description of the unique affix :

league description : UNIQUE Active - Stasis: Champion becomes invulnerable and untargetable for 2.5 seconds, but is unable to move, attack, cast spells, or use items during this time (90 second cooldown).

lolwikia description Unique: Places your champion into stasis for 2.5 seconds, rendering you invulnerable and untargetable but unable to take any actions.

The one of lolwikia is simpeler but clearer in regards to this specific case imo. Unable to take any action . . . I still feel like if you started channeling before the zhonya effect the channel should continue while you are in "trans", but that's just me I guess.

Would love if someone could explain me point 1 if possible.

Channeling abilities have that "chanelling" bar while you use them. While using a channeling abilitie you CAN'T WALK and you can CANCEL it by pressing R again and can be INTERRUPTED by other champions. That's how Nunu, Malzahar and Caitlyn's ult work, for instance.

Her spell is more like Fiddlesticks (after channel), Kennen and Swain's ult.

And yes, there's a difference between the two, but both are correct.

ok that's a clear explanation, forgot standing still.

Still pretty ironic how an ability that is ment to perform while standing still doesn't work anymore after using zhonya, while one that doesn't require it does work.

Maybe I'm just over thinking this one, but it feels confusing to me.

thanks for the answer though :)
