Fix fetter ward

[Guesswhat]

It does not work. Countless times I've been screwed over by fetter ward not working.

"Time to escape, better cast Fetter Ward and sprint away!" *uses fetter ward and sprint* 3 seconds later I get stunned, heavied and zerged to death.

Last match I used Fetter Ward to safely chase a battle high summoner. Guess what? 2 seconds later a dragoon stuns me and LBs me. To top it off the summoners then kills me while i'm stunned and gets fever. The shame...

Fix it or change the description to "may prevent...".

I get it if there is some animation delay on a sleep cast, but those stuns are instant. And I don't buy that I have a 3 second latency. Well... In most cases anyway.

[TwiissTwiiss]

Dunno, always works for me.

[Guesswhat]

On an average I experience it once a match. Granted most are probably due to latency, animations finishing off after I use it etc. But when it has passed 2-3 seconds it should bypass all that. On very few occasions I have even been stunned when, lets say, 3 seconds remain on fetter ward (I go: "...the hell", and look on my status bar to see 3 seconds(ish) left). That I cannot explain. Pre-latency? haha!

Perhaps record it so we can see?

[Guesswhat]

Tried to record a few times (3 or 4) and purposely aimed for a situation like I explained. But noone attacked me when I wanted lol. I may try again, but i find it a pain to record. I'm not very good at it. However, if luck gets it's way I'll catch it on tape.

To be fair, my estimated average is a bit high. It can go a week without me noticing anything. But when it happens, it's very noticeable.

If you cast fetter ward the same second someone else finishes casting a CC on you, the CC will take priority over the buff

The OP is talking about someone using a stun (instant cast) after their Fetter Ward has been up for 2-3 seconds already.

and what i explained, plus any latency on both the stunners and stunned sides will allow for this delay

I wouldn't be surprised if thats true; it just seems a tad bit much. Then what about being stunned just as Fetter Ward is about to wear? Perhaps the same thing?

It's probably the same thing. It's...the simplest and most likely explanation. If one person in this exchange (either the CCer or the CCed) is lagging, it can cause a stun to apply a few seconds in. Now imagine if both people in the exchange are lagging at the exact same time... I can imagine a stun applying in the last 3 seconds or so in that case. Badly timed lag spikes would be able to cause this.

So, yes, it's very probably lag on the end of either, or both, players.
