Hey, just starting out league myself and was just wondering which servers most european TL players play on, EUW or EUNE?
Also wondering about european pro players, are they split between both servers or do the majority of them play on the same one?

And this is the main reason I laugh when people complain about EUW stability issues. Riot split EU because there was too many people and couldn't be supported, yet the people for the most part refuse to split to the second server.

Some spells have a "cast time" with a small channel, you can see the bar briefly appear at the bottom (for example Morgana's ult).
But most spells have a casting animation even if they don't have a "cast time" (Ryze has a significant wind-up on his W due to the animation which is why you'll never get a Rune Prison off at max range if your target is running away).

I'm not sure how this plays out wrt interrupting spells: Ezreal's ult has a cast time but can't be interrupted, in his case it's stated as an exception (Lux's ult is lumped with it but I don't know if she has a cast time? Does the bar appear?), animations are easily interrupted by running out of range but iirc they'll proceed through cc once they've started (it bones Irelia wrt her E because the short range+slow as heck animation means your opponent has the time to use an ability during the animation and it'll go off, for example Renekton can negate the stun at early levels of E if he has 50 fury and his W available because the long-ass animation takes most of the duration and he'll be able to move before Irelia).

Then you have bullshit like Riven who used to be able to Q when cc'd, Lee's ult that instantly roots the target then kicks it after a small delay (you can't use escaps but if you cc him the kick will go through anyway), Lissandra's ult has a delay between registering the cast and the stun for some reason (which allows Lee to cast his ult after yours and the kick will go through during the stun, or more universally people can use escapes after the cast registers and they'll be stunned on their arrival point; Flashing out takes most of the duration for Lissandra to walk back in range for her other spells so it's really annoying).

One thing I'm not sure about is if displacements are different from stuns in that regard: if Ryze starts his W and you stun him he should complete the animation. If you knock him up I don't know what should happen.

Disclaimer: I didn't check every single spell in the game for this, I'm operating based on the behaviour I've noted for some abilities because it makes more sense to assume the others work the same way than that I've found some new bullshit. If it's the latter then some champions have a (more or less) significant advantage in terms of execution and outplaying cc because of this.*

* which is the case for Riven regardless because Riot put the "fighting game" analogy up to the point that most of her moveset in cancellable into other specials. >_>

Soul Shackles can hit nearby stealthed champions, but does not grant sight of any sort. The visual effect of the tether will additionally not follow the target's movements as long as they remain stealthed.

If anyone is interested in stalking seraph in NA he's doing his placements atm. He was streaming for a few minutes before kelby told him not to.

Morgana's ult is very brief (0.5s) but it can be interrupted iirc. I did that once as Viktor, mashed my R on reflex when she stopped walking toward me after hitting a binding, I heard the full casting sound (didn't see any animation but then again she was under Chaos Storm's big gfx so I didn't see much) but I didn't get affected by her ult. That was super old though, like at a time when Morgana was still run mid.

Unless it was an undocumented change at some point, this on the wiki is wrong too:

I (once, long ago) pressed R after a Twitch stealthed and followed him using the tether, then hit a "blind" binding by casting toward its former end during the stun.

Useful fun fact for learning how an ability works though, thanks for sharing!
