One major gamebreaking "feature": Abilities being cast through CC

**Queued abilities are being cast through CC. **This has been ingame since the orginal release of the game - and now it's more frustrating than ever. E.g. enemies that are standing in a Soraka silence field and still manage to use an ability. Enemies standing in Cassiopeia W dash out of it.... The same goes for all sorts of stuns.

It's simply incredibly frustrating to die because of this "feature", you see the stun animation above your enemy's head just to die to one of his abilities.

(This bug frequently happens when abilities are cast during a small timeframe. The game has a HUGE tolerance window for when you see that your opponent is CC'd - and the point of time where it at actually stops him from taking action)

It'ld be a big gameplay change to lower the tolence window - but I believe that it'ld lead to much less frustration.

EDIT: Since I was asked - my ping is constant 18~24ms.

Alot of ability are actually a (false channel) like luxs ult and ez ult.

Even supresses dont stop them because its not actually a channel.

Just to clarify, Its not false channel it's cast time.

And to the OP, working as intended.

This sounds more likely to be ping on your end (delayed ability visuals).. Do you have any videos of this taken from a replay?

I don't have a replay. But my ping is constant 18~24 ms. This has been here since before season 1 and at least everybody I know knows this ability behavior.

Nearly all abillites have a cast time of atleast 0.25sec, so they resolve slightly after the cast was issued. If you get hit by cc within your cast time, the spell will still resolve. One of the champs where this can be seen often is Ezreal, where he steps while snared or right after a blitzhook conects.

so lets make cc the solution to everything if it isn't already the solution to 99.99% of everything in league

Most annoying of those is geting your ult insta interupted by a taunted opponent as gallio(and i do not mean AA-based cc) Not sure how difficult it would be to implement in riots spagettie-code, but imo cast time should get interupted by hard cc, but therefore refund full mana and cd if interupted unlike channles.
