Increased Instances Of Ult Drain w/No Effect

Vapirko

Lately I’ve been having many, many instances of my ult draining without the resulting effect. This is specifically with dawnbreaker. I’m talking about multiple times in a 1v1 on occasion. Sometimes it’s because my opponent feared or leaped me at exactly the same time. I’m also experiencing DB just missing outright at time when it definitely should not. I’ve walked up to people who were afk just standing there, popped a db and had it completely miss. It’s starting to feel less realiable than jabs. This is a fairly new occurance, in the past week or two. I’ve also seen a streamers have issues with db missing regularly. What’s going on?

Whoever programmed dawnbreaker gave it almost 0 Z axis range. If someone’s on a stair and you DB the bottom floor, the db’s Dmg will stay planar on that ground floor and won’t pass through the ground to hit the person on just a single step above ground.

Also, if you DB a group and a sorc has the reactive rune protection thing, and you aren’t CC immune, your ult gets consumed but you get stunned before the dB hits.. kinda lame.

Interesting. I’ll have to take into account the Z axis bit. I can understand the rune ability. The only time an ability has wasted my ult was once when I finished the interaction feared, and another time knocked back from dragon leap. Idk what or how this cancel out effect happened, if it’s lag or a bug or what. But things like this seem to be happening quite a bit more often lately.

True, like you can get feared in the same sec u use DB, and then the whole skill goes to waste.
Also, im pretty sure u can miss it if the nb used cloak at the same time aswell.

Cloak shouldn’t technically have that effect since db is considered and aoe but I’ve no doubt it happens.
