Paige's Conjure Dragon DOT causes Paige to leave Magic Carpet

[BatDog]

When Paige's Conjure Dragon deals damage while Paige is using Magic Carpet, it cancels the Magic Carpet.

+1 this needs to be addressed, the Ability Duration stat on it is good for her, but like Ivy in the past, this bug makes the item bad on her for now. Happy to provide a video but seems unnecessary when the bug is so easy to trigger.

The "Magic Carpet"-item actually gets cancelled / is dismissed by any "action" which in this case also means damage.

In practice, all auto / passive damage such as "Torment Pulse"-item and McGinnis' "Mini Turret" render Magic Carpet unutilizable unless min-maxing timings to the absolute perfection.

Probably the best solution here would be to expand / reword the item description.

There is no reason the item should function this way. For example Ivy's Kudzu ticking damage onto an enemy does not cause carpet to end.

Tested this myself just a moment ago. And I can confirm, Ivy's "Kudzu Bomb" indeed does not dismiss Magic Carpet.

To also add, Magic Carpet cannot be dismissed with a downward-dash (double-tap crouch-button while airborne).
While it does consume stamina to perform the downward-dash, due to the Carpet functioning as a pseudo-floor it is still possible to air-dash out of or after the Carpet is dismissed otherwise.

Clearly due to these inconsistencies, "Magic Carpet"-item requires a proper maintenance check-up

McGinnis can use Magic Carpet no problem with her turrets dealing damage and it will not take her off carpet. The logic for Paige's conjure dragon is in need of a rewrite, there is no reason it should cause Magic Carpet to cancel.

Torment Pulse does not cancel Magic Carpet.

Warden's ult does cause Magic Carpet to cancel WHEN IT DEALS DAMAGE, but this makes sense, and at least can be controlled by Warden looking away, in order to escape using carpet.

Paige is a hero who has mobility problems and seriously struggles to cross the map. Magic Carpet is an item that solves this problem, AND provides Ability Duration (which scales all 4 of her spells very strongly) and the item is still unplayable on her due to this bug.

Torment Pulse does not cancel Magic Carpet.

That means there has been a (stealth / not publicly noted) change in the recent patch(es).

I just learned today that this bug also happens to Viper when Lethal Venom procs on an opponent.

Spirit Burn also causes Magic Carpet to prematurely end.
