[GAMEPLAY] Poppy W vs Master Yi dash

Gambanteinn··1 votes·11,066 views

Was in a bots game testing the new Poppy, was top lane vs. Master Yi. Tried several times to use Poppy's new W for its intended purpose, and had trouble getting the timing down. Finally, a situation presented itself. During a close fight with Master Yi, he used his dash attack in the middle of my W duration. His attack landed without any alteration or noticeable damage to himself.

Have not been able to test if this occurs when PvP or only when the Master Yi is controlled by a bot.

Ways to test this:

Run Poppy vs. Yi, both in PvP and PvE custom match. For PvP circumstances, can be more easily controlled. Vs. bot, it would be easier if the bot were pre-programmed to use the attack on command or at a predictable frequency.

Working as intended. His Alpha Strike is meant to remove him from the field briefly.

Alpha Strike: Master Yi blinks to the target enemy... New Poppy does not stop blinks.

What's the functional difference between blinking to a target and dashing to a target? Other than this one power? I ask, because we have similar lack of distinction between normal projectiles and "underground" projectiles vs. Yasuo's windwall.

Best examples: Ezreal Arcane Shift or summoner 4

Basically you no longer exist as a target during the blink.

Untrue, that is not the definition.

I didn't know the definition. I also just didn't know how to explain it.

A blink is where there is no travel time, you just suddenly appear in the new place, like with flash. Compare that to a dash like, for example, Jax Q, where there is very clear travel time.

Dash is like a physical jump, blink is basically short quick teleportation.
