Repost: Chronos VS Vindicator

I am not sure if this is intended.

But it appears that Chronos' leap (Time Leap) is not silenced by Vindicator's Passive AOE silence (Glyph of Silence).

I know the ranged of the Passive AOE silence is only 950 units vs the leap of 1,300, but there have been times where i have seen Chronos do a mini leap while with in the 950 units an then immediately cast his bubble (Chronofield).

This makes a big difference because, if Chronos leaps in he should be silenced giving the opposing team time to cast a disable or for Vindicator to cast his ultimate (Final Chapter) resulting in another 5 seconds of silence. This would total out to be around 8 seconds of silence, more than enough time to kill or even chain another disable on Chronos.

So S2, did you intend for Chronos to be unaffected by Vindicators AoE silence if the leap was started within the 950 range?

If this is found to be a bug, it might just be a game changer, Chronos would have a possible counter.

What does the rest of the community think? Have they noticed the same thing as well?

Oh I have tested this in Practice mode, but was unable to get a demo made, if there is any one with a demo/replay of this it would be cool if they could post, thank you!

I decided to repost this here after suggestions from the other users on General Beta Testing Forum

Mechanically, the reasoning behind this is very simple. It's because the units are invulnerable during the time when Glyph of Silence is supposed to apply.


<state
name="State_Chronos_Ability1_Self"

icon="icon.tga"

invulnerable="true"
silenced="true"
perplexed="true"
immobilized="true"
disarmed="true"
stunned="true"

passiveeffect=""

effecttype=""

</state>

(P.S. This is the same reason why Swiftblade's ultimate will not trigger Glyph of Silence, since his ultimate makes him invulnerable)

EDIT: Yep, did some testing and this is really why it happens. Magmus' first skill applied Silence to himself, but it still triggered Glyph of Silence.

IMO should be changed.

Requires some rework if you ask me, since all other "Blink" / short-distance fast travel effects apply silence. Also, its considered as a balance issue.

Invulnerability is Invulnerability tbh

And yet I got silenced last time I tried to initiate with chronos on vindi.

Edit: ROFLNO, he ulted at the EXACT point I got out of my leap, MAGNIFICENT.

It should be changed since unlike Swift, Chronos is able to cast a spell within the seconds he _would_ be silenced.

Yes well, that's for Balance/Suggestions.
