can somebody please explain this, im confused as hell here. I put the text taken straight from the patch notes on below. I just dont understand what "effects at the start position" means i guess

similar to last patch's bugfix for Malphite, the following abilities no longer trigger their effects at the start position when interacting with displacement spells like Trundle's E - Pillar of Ice. Apologies in advance for the super-dense formatting here:

Ahri's R - Essence Rush, Corki's W - Valkyrie, Fiora's Q - Lunge, Gragas's E - Body Slam, Hecarim's R - Onslaught of Shadows fear, Irelia's Q - Bladesurge, Jarvan IV's E - Demacian Standard/Q - Dragon Strike combo, Jax's Q - Leap Strike, Jayce's Hammer Form Q - To the Skies!, LeBlanc's W - Distortion, Maokai's W - Twisted Advance, Pantheon's W - Aegis of Zeonia, Poppy's E - Heroic Charge wall stun, Quinn's E - Vault, Renekton's E - Slice and Dice, Sejuani's Q - Arctic Assault, Shen's E - Shadow Dash, Shyvana's R - Dragon's Descent, Tryndamere's E - Spinning Slash, Zac's E - Elastic Slingshot

As far as I know, it means 1 of 2 things.

  1. If you're in the middle of one of these abilites (NOT FINISHED), and a placement skill hits where you began, you will not be stopped.
  2. If you are stopped, the effect does not continue to go through (So Ahri's orbs wouldn't fly). I think that's right, sorry if it's not clear.

no 1 is correct, for example:

When you stand in the range of Darius axe when he activates the skill and flash out of it, Darius would stll pull you back, because it only checks "at the start position"

So basically no reaction possible, because he hits you before he swings.
