Something nice I noticed about what I think is her ult

So, her ult (at least I'm pretty sure it is) fans out like a cage around enemies inside. And there's an opening in that cage where she casts it from. The way to get out without hitting the blades is to get through her. I think it's pretty neat, since I'm pretty sure the Noxians in the Noxus-Ionia war would have had to get through her on the battlefield too. Intentional or not, I think this is a pretty neat touch on the design team's part. Kudos to them.

I'm fairly certain that the blades walls are impassable too, so it's not that you'll take damage from them, it's that you literally can't leave.

That would seem a little unbalanced though, since the cage seems to stick around longer than something like Jarvan's or Camille's ult. Going off the bit with Cass and Kayn and the broken sword icons, it seems that it would be like a disarm and maybe some damage, which would give them a pretty good reason to stay in the cage and not leave anyway.

Edit: Then again, Cass seemed to die on the wall in the trailer, so maybe she couldn't get out, just like you mentioned. Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
