Earth spirit's Geomagnetic Grip doesn't pull heroes during LC's ulti #9999

Open Bodason opened 1 year ago

Bodason commented 1 year ago

Ability name

Geomagnetic Grip

Description

Whenever Earth Spirit casts Geomagnetic grip on an ally that is in a Duel with Legion Commander, that ally never gets pulled out. Instead, the ally stands its ground and continues the attack, while Earth Spirit's ability goes on cooldown. I assume this is faulty behaviour, since A) The ability description in Legion Commander's duel tooltip doesn't say anything about pulling of the enemy (like e.g. enigma's Black hole) B) Earth Spirit's Boulder Smash can however push the ally away from the duel, if nearby

This bug(?) is easy to reproduce when demoing the hero, but nonetheless i have an example match to look at.

Somewhat duplicate #190 and people here are conflicted what should be done about this interaction.

It's not a bug per se because there is a list of spells that can't affect duelling heroes but indeed it's a bit bizarre. It would be more intuitive/noobfriendly if there was merpmerp error message with no mana spendure.

Idk, it would be nice if the original issue could be reopened too.

This has been an intended feature for nearly 10 years:

Duel and all the spells, that arent able to affect dueling units, should mention this in their tooltips though.
