A "Terrify"-ing Bug
There are some instances where Fiddlesticks' Terrify (and other moves that cause the target to flee) simply won't work. My buddy Extra Pistol and I decided to track down the source of this problem and here's what we discovered:
Characters with a dash and attack modifier are able to ignore fear and execute autoattacks if feared during the dash.
For example, Xin Zhao can attack Fiddlesticks with all three hits of Three Talon Strike while feared. Leona can also hit Fiddlesticks with her stun while feared.
Want to see for yourself? Here's a video that shows the bug in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppekpdZNQnA
For those interested, here are a few extra data points:
-
Attack speed of 1.35 or higher seems to be necessary to reproduce this.
-
The type of on hit seems relevant: Leona would only attack one extra time after the stun, while Xin is able to attack 3 times.
-
We have seen it happen with an Ezreal vs Fiddlesticks, but were unsuccessful in forcing a repro.
