Just did some testing on this, Yasuo's windwall will not stop Malzahar's nether grasp.

^ This.

Stop thinking that Yasuo can block all ranged things, you guys are shaming yourselves.

What people are asking for is some understanding of what he block and what he doesn't. The fact that he blocks "some" but not all is confusing and requires hours of playtesting in game to learn instinctively what can and can not be blocked. There is no other mechanic like it in league, it is one of the most fun, and most impressive, but also the most confusing and convoluted.

And honestly abilities should not require watching videos and tons of play testing and reading. They should be able to be understood by reading the text given in game or the players will feel frustrated and betrayed.

Nice necro.
He blocks projectiles that don't go totally undergground or too high (which is a small number of projectile skills so you can just remember those). Rays and dashes are not blocked.
Braum E works similarly.

Well I wouldn't expect Dashes to be blocked. But it seems silly that Maokai's bombs and Elise's spiders can walk through it, but not Graga's rolled barrels or Azir's sand soldiers. Or Kassadin's cone attack or Cho's silence or Kayles ranged attack. Seriously it's all over the place. If you were new enough to him he would still feel frustrating and there aren't many champs that bring that to the game.

From what I got some skills are classified as "units" like spiders and seedlings (Azir's soldiers counting too, not the ultimate maybe... never saw that myself). Kassadin's and Cho's attacks you mentioned are AoEs that affect the entire area the moment they get cast the same as Mordekaiser's E. Kayles attack are not projectiles as it's clear that they are not "bolts" but sword slashes affecting you at higher range than usual.

I know it might be confusing for fist timers but if you get a clear definition fo projectile like and read some exceptions on the wiki you can make some deductions yourself.
