What are the conditions and effects of grabbing a suppressed enemy?

Question

Inspired by this question: What happens if you use Skarner's ultimate and then Flash? we can ask what does happen when an ally grabs a pulled-by-skarner enemy?

  • Does it cancel Skarner's ultimate and get the champ, what about the damages?
  • Does it fails ? (And do or don't consume the ability)
  • Does it drag both players ? (unlikely)

This question can also be generalised to other suppress abilities.

Answer

Suppression does not prevent move-block abilities from having their normal effect.

Malzahar's ultimate has a leash range, it is possible to cancel a friendly Malzahar's ultimate by pulling the target out of leash range. If your move block does not place the victim outside of leash range, Malzahar's ultimate will complete as normal.

Warwick's ultimate does not have a leash range that I am aware of. If you move his victim, he will continue to channel and deal damage while appearing to savage thin air.

This youtube shows a Blitz grab connecting shortly after Skarner's ultimate begins:

Skarner's ultimate will not be broken by move-block abilities - instead, it will override the move black shortly after it begins with its own effect.
