it just keeps bouncing between targets if you counter spell it.
Celeste ult does not disappear on successful counter spell

This is "consistent" with the behavior of Lich's ult in Dota 2, which the ability is clearly inspired by; his ult isn't fully blocked by Linken's Sphere, nor are a handful of other "bounce" based abilities. I don't think that's good for the game, though. There are a number of very impactful hero target ultimate abilities like Geist ult, M&K ult, Wraith ult, etc. that can be fully wasted with a well timed counterspell, not to mention the ability to dodge e.g. Lash ult, Abrams ult, Infernus ult, etc.
Dota is full of unintuitive mechanics built up over the years, such as knowing which abilities pierce magic immunity, or which disables can be dispelled. So far, Deadlock has been fairly deliberate about abilities doing what they say they can do; Unstoppable says it prevents stuns, so it avoids Black Hole. Divine Barrier can remove Affliction just fine. I personally think that it's important for Celeste ult (and honestly Doorman ult as well, because only the damage is blocked) to be fixed/changed to interact with counterspell as a matter of principle.
