Just like the title says. When ZoS changed meteor to be unreflectable they also made if go through Ball of Lightning as well. I don't know if this a recent bug or not but as of yesterday Ball of Lightning morph of Streak is completely negating Meteor. @ZOS_GinaBruno @Wrobel @ZOS_BrianWheeler please not and fix this ASAP. Thanks.

Ok to all the pretty sures and as far as I'm awares I'm telling you that you are indeed wrong. Ball of lightning absorbs spell projectiles, Meteor is not a spell projectile (anymore) insofar as it can't be cloaked reflected or purged. BoL did not absorb meteor for many many patches, and was indicated as such in corresponding patch notes. This is what I would call a new old bug in the same vein as Rally heals being dodged etc

Meteor: This ability and its morphs can no longer be reflected. We also fixed an issue where the damage over time from this ability would appear at the wrong location when cast on a moving target.

Whether intended or not is another story. Morph is so bad that I think it's ok.

It says it can't be "reflected" it doesn't say anything about it not being able to be "Absorbed".
Force Shock can't be reflected either, but it can be absorbed with Ball of Lighting ot Absorb Magic morph of defensive stance.
Sometimes Ball of Lighting bugs and the ball doesn't even work....my tests on the Dark Brotherhood and One Tamriel PTS showed Ball of Lighting and Absorb Magic morph of defensive stance would absorb Meteors(With Absorb Magic the ground DOT of Meteor still worked but the rock itself was absorbed and converted to health), Ball of Lighting required the Ball to be up BEFORE the meteor was cast, and the ball not being bugged out.(This is why Meteor would sometimes ignore the ball, because the ball was bugged and non-functioning)
A lot of people don't know this, but the Absorb Magic morph of Defensive Posture will absorb Meteors and convert it to health. My friends @Minno ran this morph exclusively until a few weeks ago for this reason. He has since moved on to a non-sword and board set up to try something new.
Ball of Lighting just seems so good now because it was useless for 18 months due to its nerf combined with everyone being stamina due to how OP stamina was for so long. The Streak bug, and folks morphing to Ball so they don't get Negated and Rooted with the Streak bug, many meta magic builds are finding Ball of Lighting to be a hard counter.
If Ezareth was here, he would tell you:
"The 6.5 to 2.5 sec Ball duration actually helps with the bugs with Ball to some degree"
And
"Ball of Lighting has always been the better morph"
I didn't test Absorb Magic this patch to see if it still absorbs Meteor, but it should, as no patch notes have said any otherwise about any changes to it.

Only if I can reflect incap and DBoS with the shield ultimate.
Ultimates aren't supposed to be reflectable, except for maybe potato-verload.

Dude I actually killed someone with overload earlier today. Its on my resto bar (my resto is purple quality cause I'm a scrub) and the overload was barely doing any damage at all, but somehow I killed someone. I just thought screw this imma overload this dude and it kinda worked. I'm still shocked.

Am i the only one wishing they´d finally turn overlol into a useful ultimate and remove the 3rd bar that creates oh so many balancing problems for sorcs? ._.
