Artesia's Arcane Missle *not* a projectile?

[[BHBC]J0N_J3TT]

Well I reported a "bug" that 's shield does not block her Arcane missile projectile and was told the missile was "AOE" and "Working as intended"

Well in the scripts it sure looks like it has a projectile.entity and it sure acts like a "projectile", and Moraxus's shield should block all incoming "projectiles"

Am I wrong?

It doesn't follow the traditional rules of other projectile-based spells such as Javelin of Light.

[[BHBC]J0N_J3TT]

Yes, it has homing , has an AOE etc; but that doesn't change the fact that this "projectile" should be blocked by 's projectile blocking shield.

It's not superior magic after all.

OP has A point, and making it block wouldn't make Moraxus OP, would it?

[[DLGN]Bloodaxe]

Something to also note while we are on Moraxus, With panda's flick, if you use it AFTER he jumps to you, but BEFORE he flicks you up, you can block the flick up with his shield.

Several spells seem to need touching up with Moaraxus' shield if all above is true.

You reckon I should submit a bug report again ?; or does someone such as Macrohard have some inside influence to use (which is part of the reason I posted here)


Cos I love that damn guy, and I can't believe Artesia's missile is slowing the big fella down

And it doesn't work with Kinesis's thrown trees/creeps!!

As far as I know Moraxus Shield is blocking the Javelin.

The single targetted E or the AOE R? Using E converts all projectiles into single target while using R converts all projectiles into AOE. Please elaborate.

As far as I know Moraxus Shield is blocking the Javelin.

Correct, that is his point though. Artesia's spell is not blocked because it does not follow traditional projectile rules. Javelin of Light is blocked, as it is a normal projectile.

i would expect 's magic missile, dealing aoe dmg and not being a targeted ability, would be treated in a similar fashion to 's sword throw or 's shell surf.
