Morgana's R Hidden Attribute

JainaProudgurl··2 votes·895 views

So I discovered something odd in a game that I've been playing for 4 years. This year, I decided to play a lot of Morgana mid because I keep getting first pick and hate being counter picked. But yesterday, I noticed a lot of interactions with Morgana's R that kind of confused me. In this game, we had a Fizz, Tahm, and Elise. All 3 champs have the ability to go invulnerable (or in Tahm's case, make someone else.) However, I learned in teamfight phase that if you R as Morgana before they use said invulnerabilities, the Soul Shackles actually still stay attached even during and after it. For example, I would ult, and Elise would spider form E (Rappel), Tahm would Devour somebody, and then Fizz would troll pole. However, every single one of them would get stunned and damaged despite the invulnerability, even the person inside of Tahm. I then decided to do a little more research and found out his works for ALL effects like this, like Zhonyas, Bard ult, Vladimir W, Taric's R, Yasuo R, and Vi R. The ONLY abilitiy in game that it doesn't apply to is Kayle's Ult.

I was just wondering how many of you out there find this interesting and have realized this.

they are not invulnerable, just untargetable.

  1. Tether abilities can only be broken by getting out of range or with cleanse-like effects.

  2. All of those effects you mentioned are actually untargetability, which only prevents those champions from getting hit by AoE's and targetted by basic attacks and abilities for the duration. All effects and damage sources applied to them before will still continue.

  3. Yasuo's ult is just a blink. He can be targetted and damaged by AoE abilities. Kayle's ult gives only invulnerability to damage. He can still be targetted by all abilities and affected by CC effects.

Tethers can only be broken by getting out of range. In the Past, QSS worked as well because they are considered, but since it doesn't remove debuffs anymore, there is nothing left but getting out of ranged. Cleanse and other similar effects that weren't QSS never could breake tethers as they only work vs CC and not vs debuffs.

yeah it will stay attached... but it wont do damage if they are invulnerable when it proc off. i stand corrected

Morg's ult is only castable if enemy champs are near. So if shaco or twitch is near (trying to escape or something) her r will be able to be cast. So if they're walking past you it'll light up and you can just press r. Eve you can see from inside morg's ult range so that isn't that applicable...rengar is but once again, you can tell when he is near by the !. Twitch and shaco are a little different.

Yeah it's only on untargetable effects not invulnerable. I've played her for quite some time and love that effect, it's like when a Yasuo blocks the q with Windwall the ult will pass on by and grab his soul (hence the name)

This has always been the case, anything put on them before they click said abilities stays on them. The only person who can get out of it with an ability is shaco with his ult

Should be the same with Fiddle's drain too.

That's how tethers work. The same thing would happen with Fiddlesticks drain

Another weird thing is that if Tahm eat somebody, for some reason the ult will still latch onto the person inside of him as well.

tether hit pre untargetable will still be attached

Thats the normal tether interaction, LB, Karma and co work jsut the same. Zhonyas and bardult are slightly different from the rest though. Fizz' E and co only make untargetable, so they still eat the damage and cc of morgs ult and other tethers or dots. Zhonya's and bard ult make you completly invulnerable on top, so neither dots nor the proc of a tether hurt you, so a well timed zhonyas can deny morganas ult or save you from dieing to a dot.

it's because being tethered or channeled by something means you're already targeted which means going untargetable does nothing. leblanc chain, karma tether, morg ult, kled rope, fiddle drain, etc all work like this
