[GAMEPLAY] Singed fling not rooting ulting Master Yi

NolanKiMo - RIOT, please fix this...

This happens anytime a Singed flings an ulted Master Yi into his Mega Adhesive.

To reproduce this simply grab a Master Yi and have him ult. Then, have the Singed place the goo behind the Singed and fling the ulted Master Yi into the goo. It will not root him even though Master Yi is not resistant to roots.

I encountered this interaction in a ranked game earlier and I was wondering why I wasn't rooting the Master Yi. I then asked him to test it with me and he generously allowed me to do it, as seen in the Plays.TV link I linked. Basically, the Singed would place the Mega Adhesive behind him and then fling the ulted Master Yi into the goo and he would not get rooted. I do not know if this is intentional or not but the text on the root in Singed's kit says nothing about the target having to be slowed by mega adhesive to be rooted by the WE combo. If this intentional, an update to the text on the ability would be useful, but if it isn't intentional, this would save me many deaths in games. Thanks!

EDIT: It happened again in my latest ranked game. Rito pls fix/update text

I'm more concerned with Singed sometimes deciding to auto attack instead of fling. Or the many bugs with the Q indicator not indicating. Or the visual changes to his gas making it harder to see for the Singed player themselves. But yeah, rooting Yi could save a life.

Kinda awful that this bug is still in game. Yi is suppose to be immune to attack speed reduction and movement speed reduction in ult. Not being immune to snares. It's like saying hey Morgana ur snare does not work on Yi

Bump

Has this been fixed yet? Yi goes from being a champ that I can outplay into a champ that just automatically wins bc i cant do anything. Riot please

It might be because it's coded as to check and see if the person is slowed when they land on the Mega Adhesive to see if they will be rooted. Should try testing this with Kayn's e and see if the results are the same

Just noticed it again in my ranked game, 4 months+ old complaint still not fixed. If this is meant to be, it's bullshit man, that's the only way I can outplay a fed Yi and do my job as a peeling tank for the team. Riot please.. I'm sending a support ticket, this can't be intended and if it is it's such bullshit.
