of course you can throw a spear from there... it only impacts on units or if it reaches its max travel distance. not a bug why would it be?

You didn't read his post at all. If it did not allow you to use the spell from there then ask a friend or someone to test it. If the same results persist, report it.
you probably pressed the spear location downhill (you're uphill) instead of in front of valkyrie
i know it doesn't make much sense but i can't find a better way to explain it.

Maybe it was because you clicked to cast in Fog, and not in visible terrain...? Just my 2 cents.
Nah, I've casted into fog.

It's a bug with valk I've noticed, sometimes you won't be able to cast spear. You can hit the hotkey, but instead of casting it simply gives move command. The fix is to click the skill and click where you want to throw, then anything after this can be done normally.
Test this scenario again, if it's still not working try the fix. If it's STILL not working it's a bug.
I can confirm that you cant cast the spear if you have your mousepointer over a forest region (ie : a tree)

Is this bug only limited to the Watchtower map?
Has anyone had it happen to them where the valkyrie would refuse to throw the javelin?
had enough mana, was in range, and while aiming shouldn't matter, tried both ground and person directly (*gasp*). just refused to throw it :(
did throw after a while though, so I'm wondering if anyone has specific circumstances on reproducing this.

same here. My enemy tried to juke next to legion's first tower @ bottom. I tried to throw javelin 3 times but my hero was just autoattacking enemy creeps :|

It usually happens to me when I'm aiming towards the edges of the map.

Are you talking about long distances? Because if you choose to throw to a distance beyond the spell's range it will not let you, instead it will make you auto move to within range.

Yeah, I don't know the problem but I know the solution.
Click on the skill and click on the map, this should throw the arrow and reset whatever the problem was.

I've had this problem too, many times. I can't figure out what causes it.

Had the same problem too, I was locked into friendly creatures and couldn't throw my damn arrow. The dude laughed at me when I yelled "bug lol" and called me a noob. Silly.

There are curtain locations on the map where Valkyrie's arrow will just not cast when targeted in a specific direction.
One said location is near the Outpost shops. Though there are legitimate targets in that general area (Players shopping, etc.)
I will have to do some further testing but i believe the bug arises from when the end point of the spear is off the edge of the map.
This should be fixed ASAP

Yes, it's been reported already.
Merged with the main thread.

Her throwing hand was tired? ;D
Really, using the same hand can be pretty exhausting. Try fapping with one hand for 1 hr (average game length).

I've seen sometimes when using the spear, if I cancel the animation half-mid through, she doesn't cast the spear, but the cooldown still appears...
This also applies to MANY heroes that has a cast animation. I think it needs to be fixed...

Happens to me near buildings generaly, I hate this bug. Also you can't cast it when you are near enemy's fountain.

I actually Figured this out. Valkyrie will not cast spear if the final target point is off the edge of the non-playable map region. Ie, the point that the spear would disappear if it hit no target, has to be in the greater map region (playable or unplayable) for the spear to cast.
This hints to me a coding bug. My theory is the arrow's target is actually made 3000 units from Valkyrie in a straight line; using you click and Valkyrie as points along the line. As the final target zone does not exist, the spell would not cast.
