Just curious but does anyone know what Soraka E can/can't silence when they're channeling?
I find it really odd how it cant cancel Galio's taunt, how it can cancel some channeling ults (Nunu) and others not... is this really intended or was it just out of laziness that it never got fixed
Galio's W exception is in the tooltip ("Shield of Durand cannot be interrupted by crowd control.") and is listed as "charging up" rather than "channeling" (his ult says it's a channel, and it can be interrupted).
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Galio
https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Channel for more general info (doesn't list Galio W under "Charged Abilities" for some reason; an oversight, I suppose, since Galio's page mentions it clearly)
Interrupt means it ends the channel/charge. Not exactly cancels it, but ends it. Such abilities either have a persistent effect lasting as long as the channel (Fid's Drain), a channel that allows multiple casts (Xerath's and Jhin's ults), or a charged effect that changes its effect based on charge time-- usually its range (Vi's Q, Poppy's R, Pyke's Q).
But the charged abilities have a special aspect to them that channeled abilities don't. If held as long as possible, they do not fire. Every charged ability with a changing range (including Vi's Q) can be held until it ends without firing.
This makes Galio's W a special case. It's the only charged ability without that option. Holding it for the entire duration will still make the taunt activate.
So when charges are forcibly ended by a silence or other such interrupt, they're treated as if they had been held the entire duration. For most, that means they don't fire. But for Galio in particular it's just forced to fire-- which is still the same thing that happens if you hold it the entire duration, just like the others.
I hope that cleared things up.
I am pretty sure nothing stops Final Spark unless you kill Lux or can prevent the damage with Paranoia.
Idk but I fking lose my brain while playing against Soraka as Vi
