Bug Report: Unintended Interaction Between Ivy's Ability 3 and Specific Map Object

Description:
There is an abnormal interaction between Ivy’s third ability and a specific striped pipe (see attached image and video). When standing inside the pipe, wedged between its walls, Ivy enters a perpetual falling state without touching the ground. If her third ability is activated in this state, she remains in stone form for the full duration, then is launched out of the pipe at high speed.

In my understanding, this happens because Ivy’s third ability both activates and ends upon surface contact. Since she is constantly "falling" without hitting the ground inside the pipe, the ability does not behave as intended, resulting in the unusual launch.


This launch can send Ivy a significant distance across the map, potentially giving an unintended mobility boost to an already mobile character, which may create unfair gameplay situations.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Locate the striped pipe shown in the screenshot.
  2. Position Ivy inside it so she is stuck between the walls.
  3. Activate her third ability.
  4. Observe malfunction.

Expected Result:
The ability should function normally, ending when Ivy lands.


Actual Result:
Ivy stays in stone form the entire time and is launched far from the pipe.


Match Info:
  • Match: 35381854
  • Time: 10:10
  • Also reproducible in training mode.

Suggested Fix:
Change the pipe’s collision from hollow to solid to prevent players from getting inside.
