Are you able to cast abilities while rooted by rengar?
I just played against a rengar who got fed my team and well he used his ultimate rooted me under my own turret and for some reason i could not use my ultimate as tristana and i had vision of him before he could even leap as he did turret dive so my ult should have hit him yet I was unable to use it he then one shot me with sword of divine and q and poof. according to this article while rooted you should still be able to cast abilities yet i could do absolutely nothing but just watch him leap and kill me even though I had tried to cast my ult it did not go off he did this multiple times(turret dives ( he was insanely fed)) and each time my ult would not go off if he rooted me before the leap however when he leap q'd my ult worked and i would survive with almost no hp.... is that how a rengar empowered e works cause last I checked its just a root
Best Answer
Rengar has a root that works just as every other root.
You will still be able to cast abilities that don't require or force movement.
This means normal casts and skillshots are castable while Gapclosers and flashes aren't.
A good example for this is Lee Sin. You can use your Sonic Wave (1st Q) while rooted (by rengar) but you cannot use your Resonating Strike (2nd Q).
If you weren't able to cast a non-movement ability while rooted it was most likely a bug.
