Nautilus ult stops if unit goes invis, needs fixing.

His ult is stopped by invis units.

I do not understand why this happens. Brands Ult, Kat's Q, Fiddlesticks crowstorm, ALL of these hit "invisible" targets if they are cast before the target goes invis (or bounce to them).

So why does Nauts ult fizzle if someone goes invis AFTER he cast it?

Playing naut vs talon, I'd ult, it cast, takes a hop or two and talon ults and suddenly my ult just stops and goes off cd.

This really needs to be fixed so it hits the unit it is cast on, even if the unit goes invis.

Do you mean Dark Wind?

Nautilus' ult has always seemed finicky in general to me, it's very unfortunate.

They should definitely fix this though, if nothing else.

Didn't know that but it does seem stupid.

Sometimes basic attacks also fizzle when the target leaves sight, which seems broken to me. After all, isn't that supposedly the one single drawback of playing Kalista ... that she can't hit targets if she loses sight of them?

if your ult is refunded i dont see the problem (as is the case with veigar ult if the target goes untargetable with a troll pole or an elise repel) if the ult is consumed thats an outrage.

yeah, I really wonder if it's working as intended.. I think it's not.

i dont care if it is refunded his ult locks on just like Caitlyn s ult there should be almost zero way to stop it. (I only say almost cause of Braum and Yasuo )

Theres been a lot of bugs involving the Fog of War and vision being lost on targeted enemies. Garens ult used to stop if vision was lost when someone entered the fog of war, miliseconds after he cast it, it had to be a window of opportunity bug to get away with it. Riot failed to recognize that its happening more frequently on other champions, Caitlyns ult stops if shes locked on, but if the animation isn't halfway through, it'll actually cancel her ult even though shes locked on, ive played Caitlyn a lot, I don't main her, but when I ult someone it usually gets cancelled and refunded, though its fine, its highly annoying because you are locking on, they are in sight, and it just stops cause no vision. This counts for when they are still in her ult range, example, still in the circle, shes got vision on them thanks to an ally, they walk into a bush, the ult cancels if its not halfway through. But this also could be just me and the shit milisecond delay that we have here on the east coast.

Hmm... My friend (Who mains Naughtylus) could use this warning.... He relies on his ult to engage AND to escape.

Since this is obviously a bug, you should also report it to the bug forum.

Just wanted to mention this also happens with fiora ult, although it's a bit worse as you will continue the animation and follow the invisible champ so it looks like you hit them. However, they take no damage while invisible and your ult does actually go on cooldown

Sivir's Ricochet will not bounce to invisible units either. You can negate her ability by walking in and out the bushes while they are bouncing and you will never take damage. Its rather annoying.
