[GAMEPLAY] Yasuo - Windwall is not blocking abilities when cast

Base Reality·May 20, 2019·45 votes·11,841 views

On Yasuo, 100% of the time when the Yasuo subreddit is using windwall reactively to block a spell or an ability, there is a lag time between casting and blocking.

Therefore, it is possible to be hooked by thresh, blitz, etc. and still have your windwall go up.

The lag time between casting and blocking is ~0.1 - 0.25 Seconds. Easily repeatable. Will provide video after league stops memory crashing during replays.

Here is a video of it on twitch: https://clips.twitch.tv/PiercingPrettyStinkbugSeemsGood

This should be made into a feature

I totally agree with you. Now he cant outplay you because he pressed w, he would have to cast it early like an ekko w or pantheon r.

CG MörglifeMay 21, 20192 votes

Cast it early? Then others just walk behind the windwall and kill you because your w isnt up for 26 seconds. That's the point of saving your w until you see the enemies ability you know..

I'm ok with this

The fact that people are downvoting this thread, it's a legitimate bug and people just downvoting cause Y A S U O lol

Trist mid opopMay 21, 20193 votes

No, people are happy because they have wanted this for years, so they downvote this because they dont want rito fixing it.

CG MörglifeMay 21, 20192 votes

"No, people are happy because they have wanted this for years" Wanting what for years? His windwall not blocking abilities? Might aswell leave him with only three abilities then lol. How about we change Morgana's e to not blocking any spells then?

ZackTheWaffleManMay 21, 20191 votes

nice straw man

Trist mid opopMay 21, 20191 votes

Either i missed something or the bug is that he cant W in a random direction and block projectiles from every direction while it goes out.

I missed something, mb. People downvote this because they have been wanting the windwall to get nerfed and now it finally did (due to the bug) so they dont want it fixed. Btw, people have been wanting yas W to not block abilities such as ults for years :p

OzzburneMay 22, 20192 votes

You're missing your eyeballs cuz you can clearly see the wall being in front of him when the skewer goes through it

[zombie-brand-facepalm]

The fact people are too garbage to play around a ~30 second cooldown shouldn't be rewarded, mah boi

CG MörglifeMay 22, 20192 votes

What ur describing with the "W in a random direction" isn't easy you know. Try it. You make it seem like you derp your w randomly in some direction and it blocks everything.

Yea well they want Yasuo completely gone but thats not going to happen. Imagine if Sivir or Noc's shield had the same exact delay before it does something. They would go mental and everyone would understand them.

Actually Yasuo having a cast time on his windwall would be good

You can only say how broken Yas is, here on boards, it’s upvote farm for begginers.

Well now you actually need skills to dodge shots. How sad.

Spicy RiceMay 21, 20193 votes

When someone uses good reaction times to flash to dodge an ability, its skill

when yasuo uses good reaction times to windwall to block an ability its braindead easy

ThefrostyvikingMay 21, 20191 votes

Good reaction times would be a more impressive concept on Yasou if his windwall didnt spawn and move in such a way that he can (with good skill for this trick admittedly) throw it in the opposite direction of some skillshots and still block them-

But on a frontal cast? It really is braindead easy, because it covers his entire hitbox immediately on spawn normally.

CG MörglifeMay 21, 20191 votes

"But on a frontal cast? It really is braindead easy, because it covers his entire hitbox immediately on spawn normally."

Well as you can see, it doesn't. Currently its bugged so that the w has to fully "open" for it to block projectiles. For the same reason you can't block abilities by throwing it in the opposite direction either atm.

This has been for a few months now already.

Yes its currently bugged and not working as intended, doesnt make it any less dumb when it is working properly though.

OzzburneMay 22, 20191 votes

You literally just watched it go forward to block the skewer and it went right through. [zombie-brand-facepalm]

AIQMay 20, 20198 votes

I see we have begun fixing Yasuo.

Joking, this needs to be fixed +1.

If you pause it at 7.5 sec on the dot you can see the wind wall completely out and the hook on the "Pyke" side of it.

Definitely shouldn't have happened.

Spicy RiceMay 21, 20192 votes

According to the boards, if yasuo has a bugged ability, its fair and balanced because katana man bad

AIQMay 21, 20191 votes

I apologize if you and others couldn't tell that was I just joking when I said,

Joking, this needs to be fixed +1.

Perhaps I'll be more clear next time? I personally have no issues with Yasuo.

Only one of the big 3 I don't like is Vayne because of her %HP True damage. If they let her roll around and do %HP PHY damage I'd be happy with all 3.

So, I't not a "Katana man bad" must nerf post.

Spicy RiceMay 21, 20191 votes

I know, I was just making a joke on how most of the people who post on the boards think

nGioMay 21, 20198 votes

Remember all those times that your projectile model actually hit Yasuo's model, only to see the wall get shit out and block it after? Yeah, we don't feel bad for you.

Seriously, are Yas mains the most spoiled LoL players or what? They're fine when THEY are the ones making you rip your hair out in frustration, but as soon as they see some turn around, they start complaining EVERYWHERE!

I cant wait riot to see them fix him asap while other champs with just as gamebreaking bugs have yet to be fixed.

It's not Yasuo's only bug atm. There are quite a few.

These bugs are online for a few months now and noone cares lul.

The EcdysiastMay 20, 20197 votes

Oh, so now it's functioning correctly after all these years and people are going to have to learn how to use it properly? Gee, what a bug.

OzzburneMay 22, 20191 votes

someone is salty they cant play around a 26 second cooldown

someone is salty they can't play around a proper function instead of relying on an ability working before it's on screen

You: sees a wall clearly up and should block projectiles

Also You: I'm gonna not only be an unoriginal troll and copy this person's emote, but I'm going to be delusional while i do it

Saber PendragonMay 20, 20195 votes

champ has been turbo broken since they re-coded him in September (can't remember the exact time frame) missing voice lines, missing vfx, bugged out ability interactions. And they're barely fixing it lol, and ofc you're going to get downvoted by low elo boards users, cause again, it's boards, anything mentioning Yasuo that isn't a circlejerk gets downvoted.

ShadzMadzMay 21, 20194 votes

idk man, yasuo actually having to put effort in his windwall now sounds kinda.....fair? it doesn't sound right to complain about a defensive ability to not be IMMEDIATE due to a bug, when its hit boxes are abnormal and its initial spawn velocity just covers his whole body for 2 seconds, nothing else in this game is like that.

ChaosReynMay 21, 20194 votes

to be fair, do you know how many times I wanted to post a bug report with my thresh hook literally through the face of a yasuo before it disappeared to his wind wall? Or where my Caitlyn ult disappears into the void where the windwall used to be because that damn thing lingers too long?

Just wait over 6 months, why should this bug that adds counterplay to be removed quickly, rivens aa cancels where originally a bug why should this not stick around too.

Because it's a bug that is incredibly frustrating for players, in the clip OP provided, Yasuo clearly cast his windwall, castime and everything done. But Pyke's Q goes through. Riven's auto attack cancel's are not a bug.

TheSingularityMay 21, 20194 votes

"is incredibly frustrating for players" Imma stop you right there... scuse me? Yasuo is the embodiment of "incredibly frustrating for players". Despite the fact that he isn't overly strong his ban rate is still ridiculous because players HATE dealing with him that much.

Rivens auto attack cancels were a bug. But players loved them so much riot opted to keep them around. In the end, they were an unintended feature that make an already obnoxious champion even more so

Rivens aa cancels aren't a bug NOW, originally they were but they decided that it thematically suited the champ and balanced around it and kept it as a feature. The same way GTA as we know it was actually a bug that made police AI go bonkers and the developers decided to make that into a game of itself.

I agree with you on that the hook passed through the wall but on the other hand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxtDg1tCgZk this is supposedly fair, a wall cast the wrong way still blocks EZ ult that also looked to have already hit before it was cast. The OP's bug seems more fair than the intended bullshitery of the ability.

As a great dude once said:

Jennifer420May 21, 20193 votes

thats weird, usually its the other way around. windwall blocks everything in a 360° around yasuo cause when he casts it, its hitbox starts a bit from behind him lol

at least now i can tell the spell is bugged in both ways LOL
