Is this interaction intended ?

Hi everyone, juste wanted to know if it is intended that neutralize can stop Kushala from placing her ignition buffs on the enemy ? Just lost a bg match because I had no idea it was a thing …

I'm imagining it as, "Rintrah placed his neutralize on Kushala and Kushala failed to place her buffs on Rintrah?"
What?
At least now I know it’s intended and not a bug
