Packmaster bugs

[Vladm0z]

Issue Type (Required):

Enemy Mechanics

Issue Description (Required):

1. Ignores Invisibility and Stagger Ults:
   The Packmaster ignores invisibility and stagger ults if they are used shortly before hero being caught. This occurs even if the ultimates would normally interrupt the catch (e.g., by staggering the Packmaster out of the animation, or making the player invisible, or drastically increasing the distance between the packmaster and player/going out of the catch-cone).

2. Prolonged Idle Without Audio Cues:
   The Packmaster can remain stationary for extended periods without producing any sound cues.

3. Sliding Without Animations or Audio Cues:
   After being staggered, the Packmaster may slide across the ground without any animations or sound effects, making its movements unpredictable.
   3.1: Packmaster can catch players without the Hook
   In some cases, the Packmaster can catch a player without visibly using its hook (and will drag a hero on invisible hook). When this occurs, rescued heroes do not play the “standing up” animation.

4. Also it ignores the hook length and can clip you under the floor/wall (old report) (and another report of the same bug)

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

1, 2: Video

3: Stagger Packmaster when it makes an attempt to catch someone
