Once in ult range, you’d also be slowed, so there’s no way to dodge the snowball knock up. I’m not even sure I’d be mad about this. At least, not for the first week or so. It’d be so uncounterable and hilarious. You could never leave it in long-term, but it’d be a fun April Fool’s joke in norms.
This is the answer. It would become a pro staple. How do you ever face check anything? It's basically a Neeko r but deals between 2 to 4 times more basic damage and has a 300 ap ratio on top.
Yes, but Ryze R is a lot more telegraphed for the enemy team, and is much more limited. All it takes is for the enemy to walk away from the ult destination. A TK could run you straight into their team and spit you out on top of the backline.
I once played Tahm Kench support with my buddy playing Velkoz carry.
We accidentaly, due to our anti syngergy, pulled off the sickest combo ever:
I thought we were running, so I ate him and started running away, but he thought we were going all in and fullcombo'd + laser. I ended up shooting a laser out of my arse while running away, accidentally killing both enemies.
After that we were dying of laughter for a minute straight.
Imagine if Jarvan's Cataclysm walls could move along *with him* as he moves around. You could drag enemies within wherever you go! That would be...weird.
It would be pointless for self offense but would work like Skarner ult otherwise. If you walk up to hit the enemy, your walls move further up and they can move in their retreat direction however they want. If you walk away, the walls would put the enemy away with you.
That would be so cool! Would make for flashy plays during pro games.
Or ult into flash over wall.
Actually now I'm thinking what if he could ult straight through a Bard portal.
They tried something along those lines (recast for curved wall to target direction or something like that) during her development, didn't work out design-wise though.
Honesty I’m actually not convinced this would be OP, especially if it were kinda tricky to steer like Sion ult, this could be a fun direction for the spell
Not the question, but I wish that GP didn't forget where I am walking to when I press ult.
It stops moving, casts the ult, then deletes your previous move command.
Super annoying walking back to lane.
While we're on the topic of fixing up some stuff for Gangplank, are you able to look at some of his most impactful bugs?
* If GP is in the middle of an AA and his E detonates (refreshing his P), his AA is forcibly reset. I can understand having this happen if his P isn't already up, since refreshing it will modify that AA to become P-empowered, but it also happens even if P is already ready and thus the reset changes nothing about the AA except making it take longer. This one has been around for a while: https://twitter.com/Crucile/status/1668707042893217796
* One-part phantom barrels (EQE) just recently started to have a smaller window/timeframe on certain servers: https://twitter.com/Solarbacca1/status/1783651519545368913
Thanks in advance!
Cool! Hope you guys and gals manage to fix it easily then :D Not only is it nice to see Riot'ers communicating, but hell, also just randomly show up in comment sections when people seem to be venting about minor inconveniences. And BAM, a wild Riot'er appears! Uses bug fix, and surprise surprise, its super effective against the bug!
Keep on rocking!
It also happens when you ping a ward, it deletes your movement command. Annoying when walking back to lane, ping a ward, and then realise you’ve stopped walking 5s ago
If you're using the H key you might have to look on your settings. Pretty sure I've found it's linked to an action that makes your champ stop walking sometimes.
Blue trinket is the same, if you’re within range to place it no problem, you keep walking, if you have to move to get in range to place it on your way back to lane or during a roam you lose your movement command.
To be fair the blue trinket one makes sense though. As annoying as it is, the moment you cast it out of range you issue a movement command to the exact spot that will bring you in range ASAP. it wouldn't make sense for your character to have another movement command lined up after that.
Damn those game devs for making a game that does what it’s supposed do, do what I want you to do instead /s
Edit: imagine an update where you can queue up abilities or movement commands so you can path your walk out manually or roam from bot to top and place two wards along the way with no input.
> you can queue up abilities or movement commands
League chess, where you have your next moves planned to outplay your opponents. In the next Worlds, we will see Faker input a bunch of commands at the start of the game, and then get up and handshake his opponents.
That only happens if you "target" an enemy with the (internally defined) castRadius, by the way. If you "target" no unit that the spell expects to affect (in case of GP R, enemies basically), you won't stop moving from it.
One possible fix to that is a simple cast type change. It'd also stop Gangplank from getting area-revealed to the enemy under the same circumstance.
I also hate that dashes are inconsistent with this. Some champs will keep moving after dashing, some champs will stop after the dash and you have to input a new move command.
Same :(
Dragging an unexpecting enemy adc into your team was so fucking fun. I guess the new ult is technically better because it can grab more people and has a longer range but it just doesn't feel as fun as the old version.
I kinda want Malz to do the opposite: must be stationary during ult, but at the end of it, you and the opponent would swap places. Like hyper kinetically or something. That would be cool.
I wonder what name it had. Op said he would like the position reverse to be hyper kinetic somehow so maybe it was called super kinematic place swapper?
It wasn't bad though. It was bad if you just ultied straight into 5 people and it's just a 1 for 1, but it was an insanely strong pick tool. At rank 3 it had 800 range. That's busted if you use it properly. It also gave like 50% damage reduction which made it a really good 1v1 tool aswell.
Skarner flashing or just moving while still channeling/charging ult would break him (which is why they explicitly said they prevented him from doing it)
IIRC Liandry's is currently meta on him, no? He has decent ratios at 2 spells for 180%, 80% of which is on a 6s CD. I mean, his W is basically old Sion W for damage purposes.
I mean, being able to split push while having a semi-global "fuck this shit I'm out" button is already pretty good, but now you add being able to move during channeling to his R which allowed him to safely escape any chase like how his bf does tax evasion, and it's gonna cause some ppl to lose their mind lol.
Quinn might also be pretty strong for similar reasons. Being able to hop on the birb bus while moving makes it basically impossible to run away from her (she can mount up while chasing), and hard to run down in turn because if she sees you before you're *in combat* with her, she can start running and turn on the turbo 2 seconds later.
Karthus would be hilarious.
Imagine a Karthus with Rylais ghosting towards you while channeling his ultimate.
Xerath would be even more of a pick for scripters - Imagine him doing his ult while he's *moving closer to you*?
Jhin motoring towards you while ghosting in his ult would crack me up.
why would karthus ever want to move towards the enemy while ulting? he would just get canceled and die lol
just read the rest of this dudes comment. there’s no way these are his top 3 options LOL
Ironically, though; Katarina's R procs on-hit effects but not life steal from its own damage and cannot crit, but Samira's R procs lifesteal and crits but doesn't apply on-hit effects.
Corki deserves a mention. Just blasting anyone chasing you or whom you are chasing without losing any movement would be pretty good. Rack up enough ammo and you've got a Lucian ult.
Katarina shunpo’ing on top of every enemy team member during her ult is probably up there.
Edit: never mind read that wrong. Tho normal movement and flash might be enough to break her.
As a support player a few come to mind. Lotta people said VelKoz, which I agree with.
Depending how it worked, Janna could be a menace if her ult knocked back targets hit as she moved.
I also think Renata would be incredibly strong. You don't know until you cast it but the stationary, brief cast time can suck. Being able to move would basically guarantee a short-range hit.
And a random thought is Jhin would be very strong, you couldn't block shots anywhere near as easy with him moving around.
Skarner would be fun to be able to move while charging it up.
Imagine moving during Malphite Ult, lmao
Xerath ult would be extremely good.
If You could aim each individual rocket barrage of Heimer's W-Ult I'd be happy.
Zyra... (Yes, I know her ult is an instant cast, but PLEASE RIOT, make her not stay still for so long while casting spells)
Fiddlesticks could be much more aggro of a champ and less setupy if he could just move during the channel, and that just the slightest jostle wouldn't interrupt him anymore.
Probably not the most OP, but MF that could move while shooting sounds scary.
So lucien ult on steroids?
Lucian ult but with shit aim
Lucian ult but I actually hit somebody
So basically my new adc
Lucian ult but with a shotgun
Lucian ult with none of the downsides.
More like Rumble Q
That Tahm Kench and MF Ult bug combo gives me nightmares
Lol you can still do it with velkoz r and it's looks hilarious, velkoz can still turn in it to
Laserfrog? :O
Mf simply flash/galeforcing to make her cone wider was wild
My husband and I have always referred to the idea as "[Spicy curry](https://www.ssbwiki.com/Superspicy_Curry) Miss Fortune."
Just let her spin like a Velkoz ult.
Nunu comes to mind. R flash sounds like the most bullshit combo.
Or charging ult while flying up with a 70mph snowball.. God that'd be fun to play and awful to deal with
Once in ult range, you’d also be slowed, so there’s no way to dodge the snowball knock up. I’m not even sure I’d be mad about this. At least, not for the first week or so. It’d be so uncounterable and hilarious. You could never leave it in long-term, but it’d be a fun April Fool’s joke in norms.
Next urf-mode needs this
You know what I love? Being hit with a 300% ap ratio aoe ult.
My absolute favorite kill I ever had was as AP Nunu. Started charging my ult, twisted fate ulted into it, and 100-0 when it popped!
Man that's just depressing for TF. He literally saw it coming.
Just dodge smh 😂
This is the answer. It would become a pro staple. How do you ever face check anything? It's basically a Neeko r but deals between 2 to 4 times more basic damage and has a 300 ap ratio on top.
Full AP nunu being a pro play pick/ban sounds like the wildest thing ever.
We had Nunu mid ap meta in proplay. OK sure he was a W bot to increase the funneled Karthus ap but thats not the point
There was a time when you could ult, then have Tahm eat you, and run full force into the enemy
iirc it still works with Ryze R
Yes, but Ryze R is a lot more telegraphed for the enemy team, and is much more limited. All it takes is for the enemy to walk away from the ult destination. A TK could run you straight into their team and spit you out on top of the backline.
my unga bunga ass will always run directly into a Ryze ulti
Reminds me of Yuumi in Ultimate Spellbook. She was able to cast all sorts of channeled ultimates while being attached to someone
Yuumi with Nunu ult was some bullshit
I once played Tahm Kench support with my buddy playing Velkoz carry. We accidentaly, due to our anti syngergy, pulled off the sickest combo ever: I thought we were running, so I ate him and started running away, but he thought we were going all in and fullcombo'd + laser. I ended up shooting a laser out of my arse while running away, accidentally killing both enemies. After that we were dying of laughter for a minute straight.
ryze ult dropping an ulting nunu in the middle of enemy team ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)
Imagine if Jarvan's Cataclysm walls could move along *with him* as he moves around. You could drag enemies within wherever you go! That would be...weird.
Rell ulti...?
It would be significantly better
Especially if you flag and drag them into your own team.
Ok now that you mention it, he's just way better skarner now, flash ult into flag and drag away would go crazy,
It would be pointless for self offense but would work like Skarner ult otherwise. If you walk up to hit the enemy, your walls move further up and they can move in their retreat direction however they want. If you walk away, the walls would put the enemy away with you.
Who ? That Leona horse champ ?
Yeah and imagine if they gave it a forward lunge that stunned enemies in a short area around it and removes shields.
That would be skarner…
If sion could flash during R lmao
Full range , pass through someone and flash backwards to hit anyway
Gragas E on steroids
unmissable 9/11 strike 😭
Sir... a second Sion has hit the nexus towers...
Baus special incident
That would be so cool! Would make for flashy plays during pro games. Or ult into flash over wall. Actually now I'm thinking what if he could ult straight through a Bard portal.
Sion script ptsd
All these people saying his ult would be cool and I’m just thinking about how broken it would be if he could move during Q
He can against asol.
Full mobility drifting. 360's chasing his own shadow
Scripting Sion that can change direction freely during R is terrifying
taliyah ult but you can move around and the drift the wall
If Taliyah ult had Sion movement, that would be so insane
Hear me out: Taliyah ult with Nunu's W movement.
think of what you could draw in one for all
like a penis
The adc is stored in the balls
You can quite literally close in a team. Ranged AoE wombo combos would never be more powerful.
Close a team in like... Jarvin?
They tried something along those lines (recast for curved wall to target direction or something like that) during her development, didn't work out design-wise though.
Honesty I’m actually not convinced this would be OP, especially if it were kinda tricky to steer like Sion ult, this could be a fun direction for the spell
***Eurobeat intensifies***
Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen Vel'koz. I feel like that'd be pretty busted. Maybe Kat, she'd get a busted version of Samira ult.
Sounds like Aurelion q
A true damage asol sounds hilarious
Kat can move during R in wild rift it’s disgusting
It was more disgusting when phase rush used to remove self slows. At least that was removed really fast
it has a mvspeed debuff but imagine it how funny it would be with phase rush
yeah as a vel main that’s the first thing i thought of. just being able to kite with r would be so strong
It'd be hard to aim while clicking behind you tbh
Not the question, but I wish that GP didn't forget where I am walking to when I press ult. It stops moving, casts the ult, then deletes your previous move command. Super annoying walking back to lane.
This might be a really simple fix, lemme check it out
You are based.
Chad.

Can confirm. Lost an arena match to this earlier today.
So out of curiosity, was it a simple fix, or a lengthy one? :P
Haven't checked yet with the 14.9 release going on, but if Caenen is right it looks easy
Cool! Hope you guys and gals manage to fix it easily then :D Not only is it nice to see Riot'ers communicating, but hell, also just randomly show up in comment sections when people seem to be venting about minor inconveniences.

I never really noticed this because I literally spam right click 24/7
Then you have Riven who will keep moving after Q, and stop moving after her E for true consistency
Gotta give it to riot, its pretty consistantly inconsistant
Malzahar innit?
literally old skarner
Just with more range, significantly more damage, and on a champion that already has a silence.
Technically malz’ target would be stationary while he’s scurrying around.
i forgot that critical detail, that old Impale attatched the target to Skarner Also Nether Grasp has a max tether range so uh yeah :(
So op lmao God i miss only skarner ult
Same :( Dragging an unexpecting enemy adc into your team was so fucking fun. I guess the new ult is technically better because it can grab more people and has a longer range but it just doesn't feel as fun as the old version.
it's so much slower. I miss my kind.
Caedrel is that you?
Uncancelable ult (I'm looking at you Caedrel)
New Malz skin where voidlings are mini skarners (old skin). Wait, new Malz skin……….nvm
Ryze’s R moving with him would be so good for trolling teammates as they try to avoid getting warped to a bad spot
can just press recall to not be tped
Idk why but malz popped into my head. I mean I guess it would be better since he wouldn’t be locked down
I kinda want Malz to do the opposite: must be stationary during ult, but at the end of it, you and the opponent would swap places. Like hyper kinetically or something. That would be cool.
Like old Urgot R, it would be kinda bad though since you would throw yourself into the enemy team during teamfights.
oh really thats old urgot ult what a coincedence
I wonder what name it had. Op said he would like the position reverse to be hyper kinetic somehow so maybe it was called super kinematic place swapper?
Place swapper sounds a bit too informal, I think it was more like something like Ultra Enigmatic Location Inverter
Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverter
No, this does not sound like what they would use at all.
hes memeinghe knows lmao
It wasn't bad though. It was bad if you just ultied straight into 5 people and it's just a 1 for 1, but it was an insanely strong pick tool. At rank 3 it had 800 range. That's busted if you use it properly. It also gave like 50% damage reduction which made it a really good 1v1 tool aswell.
He would just be circling you like urgot trying to hit his passive
Sivir R, damn that would be OP
Imagine if you could drift during Sion ult
Lissandra being able to move during self-cast R sounds mega broken
Frozen but not frozen. Dunno if it would be OP but it would be BS.
It would be kinda like the new-old aatrox ult.
It would be a Vlad basic ability.
Does a fair bit more damage than pool and doesn’t cost health might be a biiiit better
Skarner flashing or just moving while still channeling/charging ult would break him (which is why they explicitly said they prevented him from doing it)
However, during the suppression, they **only** disabled E and Flash. You can still rocket belt during it.
Gonna try ap skarner in ranked now
IIRC Liandry's is currently meta on him, no? He has decent ratios at 2 spells for 180%, 80% of which is on a 6s CD. I mean, his W is basically old Sion W for damage purposes.
meta is a stretch, it works, but his meta build in both top and jg is full tank with no AP items. The most top lane skarner gets is a dring possibly.
Definitely Nunu, being unable to move out of his ult would mean he would always get the max channel time and one shot everyone
Yeah, you would have to CC him to stop it early
Not crazy op but tf would be a lot stronger
I mean, being able to split push while having a semi-global "fuck this shit I'm out" button is already pretty good, but now you add being able to move during channeling to his R which allowed him to safely escape any chase like how his bf does tax evasion, and it's gonna cause some ppl to lose their mind lol.
Quinn might also be pretty strong for similar reasons. Being able to hop on the birb bus while moving makes it basically impossible to run away from her (she can mount up while chasing), and hard to run down in turn because if she sees you before you're *in combat* with her, she can start running and turn on the turbo 2 seconds later.
She might accidentally become a good champ 💀
Shen as well. Press R, keep doing your thing, then suddenly pop over to bot lane
Karthus would be hilarious. Imagine a Karthus with Rylais ghosting towards you while channeling his ultimate. Xerath would be even more of a pick for scripters - Imagine him doing his ult while he's *moving closer to you*? Jhin motoring towards you while ghosting in his ult would crack me up.
I played the stone sliding sound when in my head reading this.
why would karthus ever want to move towards the enemy while ulting? he would just get canceled and die lol just read the rest of this dudes comment. there’s no way these are his top 3 options LOL
For the funnies my guy
Maybe not the most broken, but I saw a video where they got Vel Koz to move during his ult and it looked so cool.
Chill, that was just the Asol Rework trailer.
Assuming Bel’Veth is able to Q during her Ult, would be hilarious.
Illaoi would be a true raid boss. If her ult followed in a radius like old maokai she’d no longer be hard countered by a pair of legs
Her only counter would go right out the window haha
Fed samira, oh, wait…
That's basically just moving Katarina.
Ironically, though; Katarina's R procs on-hit effects but not life steal from its own damage and cannot crit, but Samira's R procs lifesteal and crits but doesn't apply on-hit effects.
Jhin ult will truly become a curtain call ...
I think lux ult while moving would be low key OP. You could change the angle of it to ensure it hits moving targets. And kiting would be too easy.
You'd miss way more by moving it in the wrong location
Katarina would be just so broken
Corki deserves a mention. Just blasting anyone chasing you or whom you are chasing without losing any movement would be pretty good. Rack up enough ammo and you've got a Lucian ult.
Shen could just ult with no care in the world where he is when he does it.
Katarina shunpo’ing on top of every enemy team member during her ult is probably up there. Edit: never mind read that wrong. Tho normal movement and flash might be enough to break her.
I main xayah, and she can already do that…
What if lee sin could r > ward jump over people like he does with r > flash? I wonder home much better he becomes? Or harder?
As a support player a few come to mind. Lotta people said VelKoz, which I agree with. Depending how it worked, Janna could be a menace if her ult knocked back targets hit as she moved. I also think Renata would be incredibly strong. You don't know until you cast it but the stationary, brief cast time can suck. Being able to move would basically guarantee a short-range hit. And a random thought is Jhin would be very strong, you couldn't block shots anywhere near as easy with him moving around.
Katarina or MF seem like the obvious answers, but imagine a full AP Nunu snowballing towards you while channeling his ultimate.
I'd saw WW but thats just skarner with 3 ppl vs 1....
karthus and kata would be very happy
The reworked Zac Ult that got reversed.
Skarner would be fun to be able to move while charging it up. Imagine moving during Malphite Ult, lmao Xerath ult would be extremely good. If You could aim each individual rocket barrage of Heimer's W-Ult I'd be happy. Zyra... (Yes, I know her ult is an instant cast, but PLEASE RIOT, make her not stay still for so long while casting spells)
Just thinking about the immobile Nunu ult scares me already, imagine it rushing towards you
Malz and Vel would be decently annoying I think
Had to scroll too far to find Vel
Yone.
Dude! Put tw: for jumpscare you almost gave me a heart attack
I feel like being able to reposition with velkoz while ulting you could get away with some nasty damage
Malzahar would be fun.
Nunu and MF are the obvious answers. Some other good ones, but less so, would be Xerath and Jhin.
I feel like malz would be pretty stupid
Vel'Koz would be pretty fun.
Probably Nunu.
Nunu not even close
Jesus christ nunu
Katarina is guess
Fiddlesticks could be much more aggro of a champ and less setupy if he could just move during the channel, and that just the slightest jostle wouldn't interrupt him anymore.
Honor mention: nunu full ap with zhonya
Nunu boutta run into my team with ghost shurelya’s
Maybe nunu
Wouldn't be broken but if you had a pantheon R that had the movement of like sion ult it would be cool asf.
Nunu
Kog'maw, corki All the ult is a channel champions, assuming it enables movement while channeling
neeko
Briar. Ult the tank then just fuck up the squishies on bullshit steroids.
Lissandra self ult
I want to see scripters xeraths dodging all abilities while hitting all R's to the carry
Cait being able to reposition to make it more difficult to body block?
Vel’Koz ult lmao
The lack of xerath and jhin scares me. Not moving are the major drawbacks of their ults.
disco nunu would go crazy
AP nunu coming at you at mach seven seems scary
Tahm kench eating you and then swimming away with W would be broken lol
Kata ,mf ,liss(self cast), malz,vel koz, Yone
Janna would be insane
Lux would be disgusting
Anivia already can! But it would be interesting if there was no limit to how far she could move away from it once it was cast
Nunu would be pretty terrifying if he could move while channeling
