Is this meant to happen?

I don’t have a video but last night I was playing with Sivir against a stupid ass Pyke...he came close and channeled his pull-

She spellshielded perfectly.

STILL got pulled!

We both were like wtf! That shouldn’t happen! If she blocks the initial hit, she shouldn’t be pulled.

Please check into this Riot.

This started happening back when Riot changed how spell shields work. Now, they'll only block one thing, instead of the whole ability (for instance, Leona hitting you with Zenith blade even while shielded will still dash to you, you just won't be stunned). In you scenario, it likely blocked the damage of the ability, but not the CC.

This results in Sivir's only defensive spell being pretty useless.

Spell shield is weirdly coded that doesnt make sense. At one point thresh Q would hit you but if you spell shielded you would ignore the cc part of it and damage but thresh could still dash to you. And then riot changed it to where that interaction stopped happening, to where thresh couldnt dash to you. And now I dont know if it still a bug or not but I have seen both scenarios still happen randomly. Then Bard Q on sivir is the same exact thing, block the damage portion but you can still get stunned. Would love it to be more consistent.
