This led them to making Qhira untargetable during her ''Revolving Sweep'' - if she can't be targeted then no other Heroes can use weird movement abilities on her and none of this will happen. However, in the rare case that Chen kicks Qhira while she is casting ''Revolving Sweep'', the same problem was still happening. So they had to Stun the target, too. That way it knocks them out of any kind of movement ability they're doing. Except for if they are Unstoppable. So in that case, the best thing to do is just not to let her ''Revolving Sweep'' hit an Unstoppable target. They explored many different solutions to this problem. They tried changing the way her movement worked, they tried adding special cases for all of the major movement issues that they could find, but ultimately, there would always be additional bugs and problems that would appear as a result of those changes. Each hero had a different special case that had to be set up in a different way. They found that the simplest and least bug-prone way of fixing ''Revolving Sweep'' was for Qhira to become untargetable, Stun the target, and pass through Unstoppable targets. |

| − | This actually meant they had to make significant balance changes to the rest of her kit to compensate for this huge power that was just added to this ability. In the end, they felt that since ''Revolving Sweep'' is Qhira's most iconic ability in the first place, it was ok for them to make these power adjustments and balance around it in other places. They also felt that becoming Unstoppable added a level of counter-play to the ability that was somewhat lacking before, as well.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthestorm/comments/e5lv41/heroes_of_the_storm_ama_december_5_2019/f9rwxkx?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x BlizzKyle on Reddit: Heroes of the Storm AMA - December 5, 2019]</ref> |
