Certain knockback actions affect a DRG during Sky High

Certain knockback actions affect a DRG during Sky High even when they're fired after the user is in the air. At least the newest BRD knockback behaves this way.

I feel like this shouldn't be the case, especially when Sky Shatter already has plenty of counters.

Not sure if this is related, but does anyone know of any interaction that could cause a player to teleport from underneath an Onsal mid ramp to being on top of it? Happened yesterday.

Hmmm. I'm close to the NA servers and wasn't experiencing any, but yeah I can see how it would.

Just because you are doesn't mean they are. If they hit a spike, their data might have been out of sync briefly and the server is resyncing everything for them and updating their info to everyone else.

Hmmm. True. However, I'm trying to imagine how an enemy would be under our ramp, run across the ground to the bottom of our ramp, and then run up it, and this resulting in the appearance of a teleport. Because what a player would actually do when under our ramp would be to run on the ground back to the bottom of their own.

It's hard to say without seeing it. I know that when someone is DCing, they are immune to everyone else, but can still move their character on their end because they haven't fully DC'd. I wouldn't be surprised if someone is using that to their advantage. If I'm correct, my preference would be that even if DCing or lagging, the character still takes damage. If they die, they die.

Tested it a bit. If Blast Arrow is initiated before Sky High is used, then the animation finishes through and knocks back midair. It boils down to mainly luck in using it before the DRG LBs so yeah I guess I kinda agree that maybe knockback immunity should be applied the moment Sky High is initiated.

It sounds like an oversight on SE's side, since crowd control doesn't seem to affect the DRG when used in the same fashion.

Did you manage to test what happens if Blast Arrow is used after the DRG is in the air? Because my experience is that in some cases, I was in the air for like 2 or more seconds and I got pushed anyway. I don't think the application delay of Blast Arrow is more than 2 seconds, is it?

It's not possible in a reactionary capacity. Yes Blast Arrow has a long animation before the effect hits, so what you're experiencing is BA being initiated just before the start of Sky High, feeling like you're getting shot after the fact.

DRG's Sky High is collecting Ls for sometime now, since they changed the obvious blue ring to a shining red ring and did not increased movement speed while airborne. A kb while airborne is almost guarantee you're missing your target.
