Cait ult vs. Sivir spellshield.

FH Keltic··2 votes·2,822 views

Why, exactly, is her spellshield able to counter Cait's ultimate? It's an ability, yes, but it's a freaking physical attack. How does a SPELL shield reflect a physical attack? I can't say I agree with that.

"Abilityshield" doesn't sound as cool.

Also if this is your way of complaining for losing to Sivir, don't feel bad. Sivir straight up counters Cait. Hard.

Because, get this, it's a spell.

Get -this-... no, it's an ABILITY. A SPELL is not an ABILITY and an ABILITY is not a SPELL. LEGASP.

actually no. Youre wrong.

An Ability is a spell. except when it counts as an AA like Mystic shot.

Actually Mystic Shot is still blocked by Spell Shields such as Sivir and BV.

However, Morgana's Black Shield will not block the damage portion of it, as it deals physical damage on-hit.

I really want to just call you an idiot and move on, but I find that to be counterproductive.

All Champions have "Champion Abilities", generally including an Innate (Passive), Basic Ability (Q W E) and an Ultimate (R) Ability.

However these are also considered Spells, each and every one of them, for the purposes of things like counting Spell Casts (Maokai Kassadin ) or charging up item 3285

Abilities are Spells.

Spells are Abilities.

Except when they're Summoner Spells.

Because mechanics. Sivir's shield blocks the next enemy ability, regardless of damage type (or if it does damage at all)

ITS a spell just because it does physical damage doesn't mean it isn't a spell if you think that thrn were just gonna have to recode about half the abilitys in the game since they do PHYSICAL damage.
