Instant cast being interrupted?

Happened to me too, at Crucible at the gap between gold flag and portal. Jumped it dozens of times before and always succeeded. But this once an Oak used Pentinence just before I wanted to jump and my Queen just kept standing there, dying.

What's also interesting. Today I used Grasp, got stunned, and after the stun it Grasped. Very strange behavior. I guess its because the move order got stun and not the Grasp itself, but I was really close to the emeny.

That happened to me in the one game I played tonight.  A UB grasped me right as I hit the CoN.  When I was unstunned, the timer was going on the cloak.  I got out with some fancy foot work and good shield timing, but it was quite close.  Is it really a bug or just great timing?

i have found that TB's deep freeze may trigger the cooldown if you have the spell ready to cast. for example you press the heal icon as sedna, and get interrupted before you select a target to start casting on. i have not tested this, but it has occured afew times to me with all different demigods.

yeah i managed to get boulder roll and slam interuppted once without either going off because the roll cast got interrupted and i had pressed the slam button to see the target area

I have had my wand of speed interupted once. It was laggy at the time so I guess I had something to do with that.

First, there are NO isntant casts, the quickest you get is 0.1 sec castime. So it would be possible to time it good yeah.

Even then

As StAcK3D_ActR says. Deep Freeze works in a quite weird way that takes getting used to.

For example lets say it increases cooldown by 150%, and lets say sednas heal is 10 sec cooldown.

 

0 Seconds; Sedna heals herself

10 seconds; sednas heal CD is finished,

12 seconds; Sedna Wanna cast her heal, She is hit by deep freeze, which changes the cooldown of heal to 15 secs,Sedna now got 3 seconds left on the heal Cooldown.

15 seconds; Sednas heal cooldown finishes

16 seconds; Sedna heals herself

 

It gets even more absurb once you take the deep freeze duration (think its 8 seconds)into account.

0 seconds; Sedna heals herself

1 seconds; Sedna is hit by deep freeze, which changes the cooldown of heal to 15 secs.

9 seconds; Deep Freeze wears off, sednas heal cooldown is reset to 10 seconds

10 seconds; Sedna heal cooldown finishes

11 seconds; Sedna heals herself

 

 

What deep freeze really does can more accurately be described as "disabling the target from using an ability he used again for 8 seconds"

Not a bug. Makes sense to me.

 

thanks for all the replays especially sevenix. I guess I just got really unlucky.

i have had problems with using spells/items like this before. sometimes they just simply do not work when you click on the icon/hotkey, imo it has to do with the udp nature of the game. it happens way too much for my liking!

I have all but ditched the wand of speed. Many times I hit it and it doesn't go at all. I was once being chased and kept hitting the f1 for wand, seemed if I got hit by auto attack it was ignoring my request every time. I hit it some 5 or 6 times, including with the mouse cursor. Each time the "activated" sound was heard, sometimes even the purple flash at my feet, but alas still not running faster, still wand not activated.I died.

There also is probs with hitting wand and you stop in your tracks. Or you hit it and and your dg decides, "Oh, I don't wanna run away - I think I'll turn around and auto attack the guy that's chopping my head off."

I now will use wand of speed to get INTO a fight rather than run away from one.

I find tb frost nova handy for the intterrupt too. Time it right and waste the ability they were in the middle of casting.... double up with UB and he will foul grasp immediately after, giving tb time to fire mode, then fireball instakill.

Yeah you got to know the trick how to use wand of speed to get it used. But this time I got it on CD but I didn't get the buff.

What do you mean by that? Ofc everything takes "some" time, but I't should still be interupteble.

Deep Freeze can make cooldowns of over 100s on favor items, which is obviously a bug.

One time i went into foul grasp another UB and he foul grasped me and it took my FG cooldown.

so he interrupted my foul grasp with his foul grasp

Nah, it does what it's supposed to. Ice TB needs this. If you don't want it, don't cast anything for 7 seconds while you're under Deep Freeze, or go back to spawn.

Has anyone seen Elebus' mist or UB's ooze getting inturrupted?

I'd assume it's like when Queen or TB get interrupted while changing forms: it's instant.

That's normal. When you issue an order it takes x ms before it is actually executed (x being 350 with the default net_lag). If you get stunned during that time, you weren't "interrupted", because you didn't start your cast yet. After the stun is over, your order is still there and thus executed.

The same thing probably happened here. The deep freeze happened in the simulation before your Cloak of Night order was executed. The Cloak of Night cast is instant, but the "casting" order itself is delayed.

When QoT gets interrupted during changing forms she's stuck in the middle of the animation, but as soon as the stun is over shes instantly in the changed form (if the stun was longer than the time it takes to change forms).

today a UB foul grasped my summoning a tower spell for rook.

It was gay.

The Rook's tower of light cast actually has a cast time.
