Knockbacks should be able to send champions through Bard's Magical Journey

I recall asking him about something like this on the PBE shortly before Bard was released, though I think it was with Magical Journey sucking in people who get Q'd to it. It certainly sounds fun, but it also sounds kinda OP. Going through a Magical Journey effectively stuns for a couple of seconds, and can deposit someone so far away that they just can't rejoin the fight. It would be cool, but as a Bard main, I'd sort of rather not have that much of my power budget eaten up by something so unreliable.

Note also that Magical Journey has really long range right now (as in, the distance from Bard to the wall where the portal appears). This might let this trick work with less risk to Bard than is necessarily desirable.

The fact you are inquiring is awesome. To me, the random, situational interactions is partly what makes the game awesome, little things like that. Having teammates' skills recognize and synergize with each other really makes you feel like an actual team

The concept is really cool, but it'd be ridiculously overpowered in execution. Probably not a huge threat in solo queue... but in a coordinated team, you could simply remove a person from the fight pretty easily.

If that doesn't work could you guys make it right clickable like Thresh lantern? It's really difficult getting through it some times.

i assume spaghetti code?

I remember a post about this earlier. They considered letting Bard's Q actually push people through but they decided that a non-ultimate ability shouldn't be able to push people 2 screen lengths away. My guess is that they will say the same about knockbacks. While some knockbacks are ults, I don't think they'll let just ult knockbacks work for clarity reasons (even if it would be a massive buff).

If not the idea from the OP, what if he stuns someone to the Magical Journey and that causes them to go through?

This sounds really cool. I'll run this by Rabid Llama and see what he thinks. There may be a really good reason it shouldn't be done, though.

Magical Journey, Condemn, 2v1 seems like it could be op. Especially with a jungler waiting on the other side :D. But im not sure how easy it would be to pull off reliably. Or how happy people would be with vayne basically gaining a partner ability. Seems like cool idea though.

Could you also ask him about casting Q through the tunnel?

"Rabid Llama"

rioters have some of the best summoner names out there

Rabid Llama that just sounds amazing lol. Is he familer with Llamas with Hats on YouTube?

It's hilarious using Sion and "Magical Journey" in the same sentence.

knocks enemy through portal knocks them into the wall kicks them back over the wall knocks enemy back into portal knocks enemy back over wall

Here, have an upvote.

YES.

Thanks for reminding me I need to install those games on my steam account. Kain was the man back in the day.

You say that first part like it's a bad thing.

completely counters most of the wall stuns(ex: vayne and gnar)

What if it stunned them and sent them through the portal?

Counterplay against enemy Vayne and Gnars, wombo combos with friendlies.

completely counters most of the wall stuns(ex: vayne and gnar) but it would be fun though for them lee sin kicks and janna ults

The only wall stuns you mean.
