Chum the Waters VS spell shields interaction question

Kei143··1 votes·745 views
  1. Fizz throws his fish out, tags Morgana (or sivir / nocturne)
  2. Morg Black shields
  3. Shark Eats black shield

Now my question is, does the amplified magic damage from Chum the waters apply to morg in this circumstance?

I never get to see it in a live game as the fizz always just dives me with everything and my shield is pretty much gone by then.

Well the thing is, Morg shield blocks multiple CC's while Sivir and Noc don't. Fizz ult works like this:

  1. Fish launches and attaches, slowing the target and marks the target with amplification from Fizz himself
  2. Shark displaces the target and deals damage

So that's 2 effects that come from Fizz ult. Sivir and Noc can only block one of these (most commonly the first CC and mark). If they block the first, the fish drops to the ground as a delayed AOE; the key is it doesn't disappear. Morg can only block CC's as long as the shield holds, but her shield doesn't block debuffs applied with a CC effect. This is different from any other spell shield. The amplification of damage is treated as a debuff (similar to Zed ult), but it will not be blocked due to the nature of the shield. The slow will be blocked however, as will the displacement assuming the shield holds.

It's not CC, so I don't think Black Shield would work. Sivir or Nocturne's shields cause the fish to not latch on at all, so I think that would work.
