Apollo - Unclear if curse should interrupt or not

I guess I just noticed this recently, but I was under the assumption that, based on the description of Cursed Relic item:

"Curses an enemy - interrupting, Silencing, Disarming, and preventing item usage."

These properties would apply as well on other situations where curse was applied to you. However, Apollo's ult, which applies curse, does not interrupt the enemy, which made me confused if the curse was working as intended or not for him.

After looking at other characters, the only other instance of curse being applied that I could find was Grey Talon's trap, which seems to hint that curse should also interrput:

"Throw out a trap that begins to arm itself. Once armed, the trap will trigger when an enemy enters its radius, applying Curse and Movement Slow that interrupts, Silences, Disarms, and prevents item usage."

As Apollo's ult only mentions that it applies Curse on the enemy, I was expecting it to behave the same way as Spirit Snare or Cursed Relic. If that's not the case, I feel there should be a more clear delineation of what curse does.

In this case, the simplest solution would be to adjust Itani Lo Sahn to something like:

"Charge up and perform a long range slash. Struck enemies are Silenced, Disarmed, and Cannot use items. When this effect expires, they suffer devastating damage, dealing bonus damage against half-health enemies."


If Curse should not interrupt by default, then the wording on Cursed Relic should be adjusted to:

"Interrupts and Curses an enemy - Silencing, Disarming, and preventing item usage."
