[ ABILITY INTERACTION ] Kai'Sa's Ultimate against Highly Mobile target
Greetings everyone!
I've recently taken an interest to the Daughter of the Void. After playing her for a bit, I can definitly say that she is fun!
I already knew how she worked : I've seen everyone play her, and even my premade did.
Vandiril made a very interesting video showing numerous interactions with Kai'Sa's Ultimate.
I don't know how the idea came up, but I wondered : what would happen if Kai'Sa ulted a champion with high movement speed?
Kai'Sa's Killer Instinct ( R ) is a point and click.

You click on the plasma area surrounding the champion you hit and Kai'Sa will dash towards them.
Since the target can move, the area you can dash to will move too. So, if Kai'Sa ults a target with high movement speed, will she chase them while in ulti?

Uh. Uuuuuh. Sorry, what? xD
Not gonna lie, this disappointed me greatly. Kai'Sa's ultimate makes her dash where you clicked, but doesn't follow the plasma zone's position. Why is that? Shouldn't Kai'Sa follow Quinn around since she targeted an area around her?
Here's a slow motion gif to clearly see what happened :

You can already see Kai'Sa's silhouette on the area I targeted even though I just initiated the dash.

Kai'Sa's Ultimate litteraly makes her dash towards the location you clicked and won't follow your target's plasma area.
In a way, I understand why it's that way, but at the same time, I don't.
If a Kai'Sa ults you and you use any kind of dash right after she ulted, she won't end up beside you. It kinda makes her ult...pointless? Emphasis on "kinda", because what I've shown above isn't likely to happen in your game.
She also has her Supercharge ( E ) if she wants to chase you, so if you happen to create some distance between you and her, she might be able to catch you with that. Furthermore, her Void Seeker ( W ) has a slow, so if she plays it well, she can W snipe you then E, and you should be dead. Or, you outplay her. :D
Am I the only one who expected Kai'Sa to chase Quinn down in this scenario? :0
When I think about it, it kinda makes sense that Kai'Sa dashes towards the location I clicked and doesn't go anywhere else but where I clicked...but at the same time, I'm thinking the following :
My target has an area around them that I can dash to. I click the area, so I expect to go where I clicked. The area I can dash to moves, but Kai'Sa will only move to where I clicked, even though the location I clicked doesn't have said area that Kai'Sa needs to dash.
...That sounds complicated. Let me rephrase it.
The champion I want to kill has plasma around them when I hit them. If I want to dash towards them, I have to click the plasma, so I do. The plasma moves away from the location I originally clicked, but Kai'Sa won't go where the plasma goes, even though she needs it to dash towards any champion she marked. When ulting, Kai'Sa will simply dash where you clicked, ignoring the plasma's position changes.
This is what bothers me : the point that Kai'Sa won't follow the plasma she needs to initially ult.
Perhaps I'm the only one bothered by that. I know it's nothing big, but it's something I wanted to point out and share to have different opinions on the matter. :D
