Hercules interception not considered as such

Stellar

Hi Kabam,

Could you check why Hercules special interception are not considered as interception ?

In AW lane 5 we have the « ebb and flow - intercept » node



The node just say intercepting , not specifying wether you must intercept with basic only or not. But intercepting with Hercules special (i guess every other champion special) doesn’t count as intercepting to the node

There’s different kinds of intercepting in the game, so far I believe every single one (VP stun on sp2, BPOG guaranteed Crits on specials, ebb and flow intercept, do not go gentle etc) require you to interrupt the opponent’s dash to count as an intercept. That is, until Herc was added. His timing is much more generous, and you can basically dash back and special intercept and it’ll count for his extra crit or cruelty buffs.

It doesn’t, however, count as an intercept for the game, because those other intercepts require you to interrupt the medium dash, not just do the casual intercept that works for Herc’s sp1 and 2
