Bug Casters getting rooted during warm-ups

[iAlchemist]

So, I recently noticed a new bug/patch that happened recently that utterly breaks casters.

If this was intentional, then congrats, you killed casters.

If not, then it needs to be fixed ASAP.

Basically the bug/patch causes casters to be rooted in place while casting. This, is a MASSIVE nerf to casters because they can't kite anymore while casting. A major strategy with casting was jumping while casting so you got bumped away. Now casters can't do that, and therefore can't survive anymore.

A lot of players who were once casters are now quitting the entire class set because of this bug/nerf.

This needs to be removed/fixed very soon in order to save the casters in the pvp meta for 1v1's and team fights alike.

In case this was a nerf, why? What was the purpose of nerfing this class set when Crusaders top the meta? Casters were on the well rounded area of balance, beaten by some classes, could beat other classes. The balance for these classes was fine as is. If you're looking for something to nerf, take a look at crusader.

I look forward to any replies. Thank you.

I'm not getting rooted with plague or Drainsoul

Any of the Druid heals, and bolt, etc. all cause a root. I've heard that some other skills do as well such as plaguebomb, and most of the wizard's skill set.

Did you try jumping while casting to move several blocks?

Last time this big took place was right before I logged last night at like 1:00 A.M.

Might be fixed, hopefully.

I also seemed to get 'rooted' when using SuperJump, but I thought maybe it was some kinda of lag bug or something, but this makes more sense.

It's not rooting me at all when warming up a skill, it isn't even slowing me. I tried it with sprint jumping, sprinting, and just walking

I've seen and experienced it

It has to be a bug. There's no sense to root super jump. Defeats the purpose of it.

I cannot use ANY bloodmage skills that have a warmup. All of them root me, making the class near impossible to play as all someone has to do is just back up slightly to avoid any of my attacks. I can't build bloodunion, so I can't really fight. On a side note, rooted caster VS already OP as fuck ranger, who wins?

As a defiler i can't use drain soul or Soul leech because of this root.
@Admins or @Kainzo to fix this

Happened to me when I used recall and warp.

Checking into this, this may be the new nocheat - going to revert ours.
