Why does Ahri's charm no longer stop Warwick's ult on her?

Kind of ridiculous to Charm at the exact moment he teleports to you, and still eat his full ult. Warwick's ult is now a dash?

Because Riot feels that using skillshots to interrupt an enemy's ability is just ABSURD. Only targeted abilities can do things like that! Can't have skill be more rewarding than mindlessly mashing buttons, after all, because then the fucking brats who enabled F2P companies might stop paying through the nose!

Whales before quality, you know. F2P creedo.

Personally I feel that this nerf, even if not needed, was logical. If you dash to the side you essentially are "airborne". Due to the Charm being what it is (a charm duh) the target moves towards Ahri on his/her "own" free will. Nobody will do that mid-dash though.

The reason hooks are different is that the hooker (Thresh, Nautilus, Blitz etc.) use their own power to pull you towards them, thus forcing a change in direction by force.

The reason for it is that charm is forced action and not ariborne/displacement. No other forced action in the game breaks dashes.

It was more of a bugfix/consistency-oriented change than nerf to Ahri.

If there is some issue with it not breaking channels though, this might be a bug as well.

That was essentially what I tried to say. My other post sucked though, I had no idea how to explain this xD

Except it's not consistent, the behavior is completely different from how hard CC like stuns interact with many abilities.

I said: if it doesn't break channels it is probably a bug. It most definitely should.

No stun or forced action breaks dashes though, I'm actually surprised charm was allowed to do so for such a long time.

I think the most important point here is, why the fuck is Warwick's ultimate coded as dash?

I will say it for 3rd time: if it really happens it's a bug. Riot did fair share of bugfixing last patches, we can hope for quick solution.

That makes no sense. None.

It's Ahri we're talking about, she's a cash cow for all the waifu, weeb, general male audience and even females who like cute things. It's actually why she's been allowed to remained overly good for so long.
