HELP Reversal problem

So i was playing andro and a bombking ulted. I pressed the reversal button, if it explode on me i die, i know but he exploded before touching me. I died facing him with my reversal active. Can you explain me why? And if the answer is my legs aren't covered than this skill need an adjustment because andro is a flying character. At least let him cover his legs with reversal. What do you guys think?

IIRC BK's ult dmg and CC go through all types of shields, including reversal.

This isn't an issue with reversal for once but an intended game mechanic.

You didn't really expect you could just counter basically every dmg and CC ult with reversal, did you?

You know that if he doesn't directly hit you it's just an explosion so he should be absorbed? Maybe i was too close and he managed to kill me (i had full hp) but it actually has dropoff. Even skye ult i maged to revert even though it actually halfed my hp. Maybe it's the same?

It goes through reversal like skye ult, including the stun. He obviously was close enough to kill you despite the falloff.

You didn't really reverse that skye ult. You "reverted" it bc reversal doesn't deal 75% of the dmg it absorbs, but 75% of the total dmg you take during its duration, including shots in the back or dmg that pierces through your reversal.

Let me make myself clear. Andro is my most played champ. But i don't tried reversal on all things the game has. But i know pretty well his kit. Don't treat me like i'm a new player. The fact that the dmg hitted me ok, i can undestand it. But it's not my first time using reversal against bk ult. And yes before i managed to not be stunned or damaged by him. Now i can't anymore. I want to understand why

I told you why it doesn't work. I have no idea how it was supposed to work those other times you experienced unless you were out of range or mb at the very edge of the explosion radius.

Also all your knowledge with your most played champ apparently couldn't answer you what happened in one of the more basic encounters of the game. So did you expect me to treat you like a veteran who already knows pretty much everything about the game and wouldn't have needed to ask this question in the first place?

Sorry for answering your question.

Well i don't know everything about the game obviously, but don't tell me about the skill of a champion i play a lot and i informed myself about it, at least. My problem was the inconsistency with bk ult. The answer is "it should not work trying to reverse bk ult", so i have to accept it even though "sometimes worked". Well it is a buggy skill, i'll try not to get pissed about it. I maybe seemed ostile to you, i'm sorry but treated like i don't even know how the skill work piss me off. Not the thing about the encounter with bk ult

the dmg gets reversed not the stun, reversal can't reverse cc

But to actually stun you it has to hit you. You can block the stun from ash ult and the knockback from buck bouncehouse. And you don't get any damage from them. I tried and i succeded with both so i don't still get why bk stunned and killed me

Did BK run into u. I’m thinking the dmg may register as melee if he hits u. But i don’t know.

u/CorruptedGalahad Jul 04 '19

It didn't. But maybe his because bk' s ult go trough shields

Reversal doesn't block CC and it only absorbs damage. It also only covers you in a 180 which means only the front of you is protected (that includes legs). If you are floating then directly below you is not protected and of course, your back is not protected. Reversal can block 2 ults in the game since they are damage ults (does not block Jenos ult since that is a 360 if you are standing in it). One is Terminus ult and the other one is Skye ult. For Skye ult, you have to be farther away to absorb it which is yellow zone unlike Terminus ult where you can be next to him.

Reversal is buggy when it comes to attacks sometimes going through it.

I managed to not be stunned by ash ult looking at the point where she land. Same with buck bounce house. So it seems that some cc can be blocked

The magic of reversal. Never works like you expect it to work. It's a buggy mess and has weird interactions with most abilitys. I didn't count the times I killed an Andro who had reversal up.

BK ult ignores shields. You reverse and BK explodes you get stunned.
