Zenith Blade and Playful/Trickster
Playful/Trickster (Fizz), regardless of its other flaws, does not play well with Zenith Blade (Leona). In particular, I mean this: When Leona hits Fizz with Zenith Blade and Fizz uses his troll pole before the root applies, she does not dash. This is inconsistent with everything else - it even takes two spell shields to stop Leona from dashing. But even if you want to leave that inconsistency around, there's another problem. Suppose Leona hits the entire enemy team. But Fizz is at the end, and Fizz troll poles. Leona doesn't even dash to the second-last person hit. This is totally arbitrary and ridiculous. It means that in certain circumstances, Fizz wants to be hit by it. I've compiled a list of times when you might want to take extra damage by being hit by a skillshot (not just to protect an ally):
- If you have thornmail, blocking Ezreal's Q
- Blocking a thresh hook so he can't aa
- Getting grabbed by Blitz to get close to his team
- This stupid interaction That's it. One is an edge case with damage return, one is a tiny bit of counterplay built into a champion's kit, one is taking advantage of an enemy's error, and the last is awful. Sivir's spell shield doesn't count because she doesn't take damage. Arguably, there are a few more repositions that could be advantageous to be hit by, but the key thing there is that they're all taking advantage of enemy bad plays. Leona has no better option. Can this please get changed so that Leona either a) dashes to Fizz or b) dashes to the second-last enemy hit?
