Air drop + knockdown halts Ivy's movement mid air

[vomitwater]

If you pick up an ally who is targeted by Knockdown, when the knockdown effect applies, the target loses their momentum and tries to plummets to the ground but keeps Ivy in place with them, making it almost impossible to move unless you drop the target.

This is not exclusive to knockdown and Air Drop has other bugged interactions with items that affect your momentum such as Majestic Leap.

I had this occur in a live match.

This occurred to me in a live match as well.

A similar effect happens when carrying an ulting Vindicta, but I'm unsure if this is intended behavior.
