scout invis out of devourer ulti?

[Pheesh]

I've noticed scout is able to invis out of being eaten by devour (NOM NOM NOM).
Is this intended behavior?

i.e. hook and begin feasting on his girlish figure, then he invis' out of it.

I'm pretty sure he did invis at the exact same time you ulted.

I suppose it's possible due to latency- the devour animation has started though and he's being munched on at the time. If he does invis just before the devour ulti I would think your ulti should not activate, so there may be a bug there. It is confusing for new players to be munching on air (i.e. they don't know if they are still actually devourering the invis scout, and should thus continue to channel or not)

there's no latency b/w characters in this game... it's all played server side... o.O

Did you continue to "munch on air". If so, you still had him and you were still eating him, and he was still taking damage. I don't see the problem here...

There's a .5 sec delay on his fade I believe. So if he bit him in that time he would go invis shortly after but would still be disabled.

i think the problem here would be your teammates can't hit him while he is being devoured.

I could go on the usual rant of "dust" etc etc. But revealing invis for the ultimate (most other shackles already do) would be a very fair change, all buffs for Devourer are welcome, anyway.

Even though the action takes place serverside I'm pretty sure there is client side prediction /interpolation of events.

In a recent instance I left the channelling going and pyro even dragonfired the location..given scouts health that should have = kill if he was still being devoured. I recall actually seeing the scout 'run away' as he was fading right after I began devouring while I continue to munch on air. Needs more testing I guess.

THis irritates me to no end when people stun me or leap away even though my manas gone and devours on cd.

Replays will confirm for us. Could you find the Match ID?

[Pheesh]

unfortunately I can't seem to find that particular match, for some reason it may not have logged. I will definitely post next occurance.
