Xin's Knockup isn't working on champions
My lil brother is playing a game right now as Xin on twisted tree line and his knockup isn't working on champions, it is however working on minions/jungle creeps.
What gives?

I've noticed this too, it only stuns for a duration almost half of what the knockup is.
If I remember right, a Red said that (sadly,) it will not be fixed till next patch. I'll see if I can find a link for you. Btw, it's not that it fails 100% of the time, I think they said it fail is when the enemy stops moving before the 3rd hit lands. So just make them run 1st, then the knockup will still take effect.
That being said...I'm pretty sure I'd just not play xin anymore this patch...:(

...In this particular case Xin Zhao's Q doesn't knock up if the target isn't moving at the time of the third hit. That's definitely a significant bug, but it's not crippling him and the fix involves code changes, which are much riskier than just changing data values. As a result (as far as I'm aware, server patches aren't my area of expertise) we're not currently planning to hotfix this bug. ...
Xin is completely crippled by this. and its not getting fixed till next patch because he isn't being played in the LCS/have a high enough player base for it to be considered "crippling" or "game crashing." It only works when the target is moving. Personally, I think disabling xin would be a better solution to this problem until the next patch, rather than people dealing with it in the featured game mode, Nemesis Draft, but I'm not on the gameplay riot team, so I don't know what goes into fixing this problem.
