If you channel for 50% the duration you get 50% the damage.

Good to know! Thanks! I figured it was trash unless fully channeled

You have to remember resists as well. You'll end up doing 50% damage if you channel for half the duration then anywhere from -25% to -60% reduction from magic resist.

If you get interrupted, do you do the damage proportional to how long you channeled? Or is it interrupted and you do nothing?

You will do damage proportional to the time you channeled for, whether you stop the channel or an enemy stops it.

Completely useless against Sion, or... wait until Sion has used his stun? Completely useless against Nocturne? Sivir? etc.

EDIT - My point being "completely useless" =/= "has to use it wisely" (use an ultimate wisely? baw)

Also I was derp and didnt realize this was multi-paged.

bit off topic, but does Galio's ult work the same way? Meaning he'll still do the appropriate amount of damage he channeled for when interrupted? Or will he just do nothing and be a sad gargoyle

Currently, it's Ashe then Soraka. After that, /shrug, but Nunu doesn't seem that bad, model wise, I'd rather they do someone like Morgana or Sivir.

Now I'm not trying to cause problems, ruin your life or anything but it really doesn't feel that way from the point of us regular players.

I don't know about everyone else...but when I run my 49 penetration Nunu build if I don't achieve 100% charge on the ultimate it normally does jack-**** damage.
Which baffles me...I mean if my ultimate is doing 2000 damage prior to resistances, I have 49 penetration and I charge it for 90%-95% then shouldn't I be pumping out at least 1,000 damage to the target? Yet sometimes it feels like I do 200-300 damage, maximum. That is with anything that is not a full charge...
Full charges on the other hand seem to have drastic, nay radically different quantities of damage.

Not to be a pain in the butt, but would it be possible for you or another red to check and make sure his ult is working as intended?
