Watch Out For Luo Yi
Heros who have ongoing skills during Marcel ultimate are not affected and can get out of Marcel ultimate area with no problem such as Luo yi with her Ultimate if having a notion of the situation or Lunox and Kadita who are invicible during their ultimate and can still control their hero being a good pick against Marcel to surpass his crowd control and ignore his ultimate.
