Nautilus Ult - is this intended?

Excalibait·Mar 10, 2016·2 votes·802 views

So, in the EU LCS Match UOL vs. OG, there was a teamfight where Nautlius used his ult on the enemy Lucian at 22:48 but it got cancelled (fizzled out?) early after one or two ticks and was off cooldown immediately again (it didn't reach Lucian at all) and he could recast it immediately again, using it on the opposing Lee Sin at 22.58.

Now, as a dedicated Nautilus player, I've never experienced that before in any of my games, so it obviously caught my immediate attention. Can anyone explain me, if that is intended to happen and and if so, what exactly happened that caused this situation?

Did Lucian have a QSS? I'm pretty sure QSS can fizzle it.

Nope. He sat on Essence Reaver and Statik Shiv at the time. There was also no Mikaels, if that'd be another option.

I just rewatched it and Lucian flashed the moment Naut used his Ult. You heard the sound of Depth Charge clearly so it was started, but maybe the flash got him out of cast range within the channel time?

This has come up as a bug in the past, but was said to be fixed. It's possible that they are playing on an earlier patch that may still had some odd code that malfunctioned.
