@Redesignated: I'm surprised that it wasn't intentional, considering it's nearly his entire kit (tankiness + EQ combo). Regardless, it doesn't really matter that it was intended or not, it was still a feature. It wasn't weird to execute, it just took good timing. The only problem with it was that it was destroyed in functionality by lag - like I said, there were good reasons for it. However, I still don't agree that it was necessary to turn his main function that required skill and timing into something that takes no skill or timing at all (literally just press one button then the other).

@Friendlysocioath: I did say that they had good reasons for it, but it still wasn't the best solution. What they could have done instead is have a brief window of time where he hits his target with before he knocks them away. During this window (~0.1 seconds or something), the next ability he used would have no cast time. It would take mechanical skill and timing but when it should work, it would be guaranteed to work. There's still the issue with lag, but then anything that requires good timing is screwed over by lag.
