Bullets and abilities don't activate sometimes (Wraith only?)

[nickjgraves]

I've been noticing this on Wraith, if someone is in Dynamo ult or Haze ult or some other area of effect channeled ability, my gun will be aimed right at a still target and they won't take any damage. I'm not sure if the visual effects are counting as collision or not, or if it's some other issue but its been very consistent across this newest patch.

Sometimes I'll press my ultimate 2-3 times in a row and it just won't activate on button press as well, I use confirm cast and I'll press 4 and then left mouse button and the ability won't even select when I press 4.

Here's my most recent match ID but replay I don't think will properly show the problem: 44777314

I can't seem to reproduce this in the testing grounds, but in a match it happens consistently enough to be annoying and or game losing.

EDIT: Looking at a previous replay, it seems that one of the occasions I wasn't hitting during Dynamo ult it's because Infernus's model bends over so much during the ult that I stopped hitting him, but in all the effects going on I couldn't see I wasn't hitting him anymore.

In other situations it seems to be people dying during the ult and dropping soul orbs which block the bullets.

I'm still not sure what causes the Wraith ultimate to not activate though.

Here is from replay 44777314, at 21:33 I am spamming my ult on McGinnis as I'm sliding and it won't activate, and it appears to not activate until I'm out of range of Haze's ultimate effects.
