Goo Ball Phantom Strike

[#1 Cool Veno Appreciator]

Ever since the map version 2 launched, Viscous's Goo Ball has been plagued with collision issues tied to using Phantom Strike.

As seen here, Phantom Strike immediately gets caught on the local terrain, closing less than half the distance between Viscous and Shiv.

Given that this item is a high value pick for Viscous building around his ult, leaving it in this state is becoming a glaring issue.

I've been experiencing this with Phantom Strike as well.

I don't know but seems like it teleports you to the place where the enemy hero is whenever you press the active, instead of where the hero really is when the teleport fully casts. I think I can hear Phantom Strike cast before Shiv's Slice & Dice, so whenever the cast and animation ends, Shiv is gone already.

Maybe that's by design?

I'd agree except that in another thread (posted the same day, funnily enough) we're seeing this when the target is sitting stock still. I think that character movement is exacerbating the issue, but there's definitely Fuckery Afoot™ with regards to the terrain: https://forums.playdeadlock.com/thr...if-in-different-elevations.66541/#post-128166
