Introducing Invulnerability HUD

Have you ever been sad when a big attack lands on its target only to find out they're invulnerable?

Have you wanted to know that the health bar you're about to lay into can't be moved?

Did you see the Taric Ult in the Ryze Champion Spotlight and wondered wtf?

Well, have we got the feature for you! It's Invulnerability HUD, (most likely) coming in Patch 6.18!

We've added a fancy gold border to champion's health bars when they can't be touched. In addition, we pulled a couple abilities that acted a lot like invulnerability and went ahead and made them fully embrace invulnerability. We're hoping this makes interacting (or not) with invulnerable champions a less frustrating experience. If we've bounced off that target please let us know in the comments below.

Due to things, this won't be showing up on PBE 'til Monday, so as y'all know.

I think op is trying to be a l3gend@ry meme-scoper, he featured jayce's "Can't touch this " dance on the whole invulnerability thing.

I would prefer a duration bar beneath it, that indicates the remaining time of the effect. A good example would be the cc indicators on the health bar at the moment.

Can't touch this ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

What other abilities were altered to "embrace invulnerability"?
I'm guessing something along the lines of Master Yi's Alpha Strike? Will his health bar now go all shiny and yellow when he does that? Can his health bar be visible the whole time he is alpha striking now?

I love this idea! One concern though, for people who play on colorblind mode won't the yellow border blend in with their own health bar?

Eh, can you pin this to the Home Page instead of Dev Corner? Now nobody can see it unless they specifically go into the Dev Corner forum.

Will the effect show during stasis from Zhonyas and Lissandra self-ult?

What do you mean "full" invulnverability? Did something bypass it before?

Or did you just make it so you can't reduce the actual health of the champion while Invulnerable which is what i'm thinking.

I strongly agree with a previous commenter about Tryndamere. He needs some indicator similar to this that should simply be on for the duration of his ultimate. Maybe red, because he's angry. The "disco ult" is an easily remedied problem for the benefits of visual clarity that an indicator would help provide for Trynd.

What abilities would "embrace invulnerability"? Does this means the untargetable ones like Fizz E and Vlad W? The champions who have those spells are doing relatively well already in my opinion, though vlad has a negative winrate at all elos since the nerfs. I would really like to see an indicator on Urgot for his ultimate so you can see when his buff goes down. Not for me, but for all the people in my games who dont know how Urgot works.

Are you super sure it shows up enough? I'm looking at this gif and I feel like it blends in with the health bar a little too much. I guess it will be less obvious on a red health bar, but for the self it's a bit... hard to see.

This will be very helpful, thank you!

What about Shen? Will it show him as invulnerable too when he's inside his thingything circle?
