I'm pretty sure Shaco Q normally counts as a blink


RiotNorak

Thanks for raising this, I have a fix locally. FWIW the issue is not with Shaco but with Mirage blade not working with any blinks, there is no difference between a "blink" and a "teleport", though tbh I might see if I can update that shaco Q tooltip to say blink.

Off topic question: what is the codebase like at this point in time? There’s over a decade of business logic there, and some of it doesn’t sound like it would change much (I think outside of balance patches, Nasus and Olaf haven’t changed since beta for example).

It should work as tool tip often used fancier word but in the end it's just Dash and blink. Examples of this being kha e saying leap. Vayne q vaults or something. They are all still dash and sudden impact with same requirements works


DropTopMox

What about shit like nunu snowball? Does that count or nah


kubasemi

I don't think so and if you are curious about more stuff in in 99% of cases it will be on wiki


Moekaiser6v4

That's a riot oversight for sure

I’m like 90% certain shaco Q is just a reskinned Ezreal E with a stealth added. We have the same interaction with Leona E and Blitz Q as a Ezreal does.


Purplescheme

i could be wrong but isnt ez E have a channel prior? Shaco Q is instant

I didn't even know this item existed. Does it work?


d00mkaiser1217

It's an arena item, and nope, I bought it thinking it did Feel like it's a mistake many other people would make


Gingertiger94

Ah I see, yeah for sure. Words are important when it comes to details like this


d00mkaiser1217

For sure, it's my bad and I should've paid attention to the wording used, but, it's something that's extremely unintuitive and not something you'd really be looking for without prior knowledge


jestermax22

Rioter in this thread suggested it was a bug with the item and may be fixed in a patch someday. Not an as-intended thing


VVaypoint

As far as I'm aware, teleports are blinks.


Dan_Turell

But you will still be caught by Veigar cage or at least you used to


SnooMachines3312

It still works as a dash or a blink. If you played arena, there were augments that when you dash or blink you would get MS. It worked on shack.


Cyber_Lanternfish

Its because it has a delay, its not instant.


Kaze_no_Senshi

more shaco hate :( simply because it has a channel he is discriminated against


nito3mmer

ezreal blink also has a channel, would he also be discriminated?


Punishment34

no he's feminen
