Lucian Dash is Broken

the Anarchit3cht··2 votes·532 views

Disregard what I posted previously. The real issue is that when I Zenith Blade him and he dashes, I travel to where he WAS, not where he IS. It happened a few times and I just dashed to the middle of the minion field still in range of him and his support without being able to apply my shield of day break to get a real stun off. I tested this with other champions such as Cait and Graves and I follow them the length of their dash, so why not Lucian?

Working as intended. You cannot be stunned during a dash, the stuns take place AFTER. For instance, if you lee Q or W through a Veigar E, you still go to where you Q´d or W´d to, but you´re stunned on arrival. It´s not a bug or broke, that´s why you got down voted.

It doesn't work that way with anybody else I've stunned. At the very least, should my Zenith Blade not carry me to where he is going then? And not where he was?

It carries you if the abilities are blinks, (flash), but not dashes. If it´s a dash, it leaves you at the spot where you made contact, but the person continues on and the root is applied later. However, blinks will take you with them as there is no place for you to stay if the target actually dissapears.

Well that's fine, but then they need to make some consistency updates. Because with Cait, for instance, when she fires her net, I hit her at the initial moment and still traveled to the end of her "dash." To ensure I didn't hit her at a later point, I tossed my Zenith blade perpendicular to her dashing movement.

Okay. So you were right. It doesn't stop their dashes, but the stun does apply on arrival. The real gripe here then is this: When I Zenith Blade him, it carries me to the spot where he was, not the spot that he is. So I'm effectively dashing to nothing. Given that when he is out of my AA range I can't apply my REAL stun, should I not follow him to this new location? I just tested it with other champions and I follow them the length of their dash. Why not Lucian?

I think I see what you're saying. From what I thought, the stun length should only be applied AFTER the end of the dash, not shortened because a portion of the stun time was taken up by them dashing. Not sure on how it's officially supposed to work, but this circumstance would certainly go against what I understand about it.

It should stop him in his dash. It does with every other type of dash. I think they even did an update about this, trying to standardize the fact that people should stop dashes when they disabled, not continue to dash even though they get stunned.
