Channeled

Channeled abilities take place over a period of time. They may be activated by a single button click, or may require the player to hold down a button in order to keep channeling the ability. Players channeling abilities generally cannot use other abilities, or in some cases even move, until the ability has completed.

Channeled abilities which require a button to be held down can be cancelled simply by releasing the button. Some one-click channeled abilities can be cancelled during their cast, although any cooldown or Ultimate Meter power used will usually be wasted.

Some channeled abilities can be interrupted by being hit by certain abilities, such as Roadhog's Chain Hook.
