Zac, Elastic Slingshot

I've been playing Zac steadily for the last 2 seasons and i have to say that one of the things i just can't stand is when you are flying through the air wit h his elastic slingshot and just before you land you get hit by something and its as if you wasted your ability, now your in the middle of who knows what situation with your primary engage ruined. it gets put on cooldown, i have no idea if it deals the dmg or not thats the last thing crossing my mind when in that situation but its not like its job is to assassinate the enemy with that ability anyway. that fact that the cc is just removed is so antifun, it can completely destroy a team fight, its bad enough Zac can get snared in his ult and just stand there jumping up and down while everyone walks away from you.

the entire play around elastic slingshot is that it takes time to charge up which can be interupted and he can't move during it giving anyone who has vision ample time to get away from it, then you have to actualy aim it as well, then it takes time to get there so the enemy might not even be there anymore or might have changed directions from where you predict them to be, and then theres the indicator where a lot of people are capable of flashing out of it thanks to the indicator as to where hes going to land, like can you add any more counter play? it's so frustrating, and antifun, its like any champion with a form of cc might as well have a free blackshield from Zac ganks.

riot plz

considering it's range, no.

To be honest, knockup's should interrupt Zac's Elastic slingshot or there would be no counter play to it other then to dodge it. I really hate that thresh flay or janna tornado can knock me out of it, and really fuck me over, but Zac would be truly OP if there was nothing you can do about his slingshot. I main Zac (currently Diamond 4), so believe me, I would love it if Zac elastic slingshot couldn't be interrupted, but if that were the case, they would need to nerf something else about his kit to make that feasible.

Just FYI, against champions that can casually interrupt elastic slingshot (Poppy or Janna for example) I build Banshee's Veil (instead of Spirit Visage) so I can ignore them and land elastic slingshot anyway. Try that out next time you find yourself in that position, it makes a huge difference!

I do think that Ahri's charm shouldn't interrupt his slingshot. Seriously, how does her charm stop his momentum? A knockup makes sense, but charm?
