4 years and Jax E still does not dodge Yas Q

MorningCoffee21··55 votes·15,746 views

Just played a game against yasuo top as jax. Was so confused as to how he was charging a nado on me through my E. I googled it, turns out this has been a problem for atleast 4 years. How long can it take to fix a bug as small as this? Holy S***.

Steel Tempest's damage can be blocked or dodged only by the target Steel Tempest applies on-hit effects to. Secondary targets will not be able to block it. Even if the damage is blocked, Yasuo will still be granted a Gathering Storm stack.

That isn't a bug.

Okay so not a bug but should it really work that way? I mean dodge or blocking is effectively the same as missing the q entirely (assuming its one on one with no minions taking secondary damage)

it say's I dodged the Q but it still gives him nado? I'm confused.....

Because the damage of the ability is based on whether or not you dodged it with counter-strike. The charge effect of it is based purely on whether he hit something with it.

There’s two different effects in play. The damage done is handled on your end, whereas the ability charge is on his. That’s why things can still stack up on invulnerable targets unless specifically mentioned that they only stack up on damage, and not just hits.

Then by that logic yasuo Q should stack even if not hitting someone. It should stack if you hit the air.

I literally said he has to hit something with it.

You are being pedantic.

He didn’t miss the ability. He landed the ability. However, you have your own ability that allows you to ignore damage from certain sources. You are not untargetable, you are not in stasis, or anything like that. You are simply immune to damage from certain things. For all intents and purposes it’s essentially an invulnerable shield for auto attacks and certain abilities. That’s it.

For Yasuo to get the stack on his Q, he simply needs to hit some enemy unit with it. He accomplished that. Whether or not damage is applied is an entirely different matter and utterly disconnected from whether or not the Q stacks.

Alright that's fair i guess..... i originally thought this was a bug but riot intentionally made it this way it seems

Just going off of sheer common sense here.. it doesn't make much sense giving that the word dodge implies that it didn't touch or hit me..

Meanwhile if that isn't a bug... do you perhaps know if something is a bug or not? Ya know, like Elises rappel which has been bugged for years?

why should it?

It's an ability that procs on hit effects, not an aa.

Tahminatrix 24 votes

Its an ability that is is considered an AA, it doesn't just proc onhit effects, it also crits, not to mention it is counted as single target instead of aoe.

It needs to be fixed but in the other direction, yasuo q should be considered an aoe. He can heal a lot from stabbing a bunch of minions.

It isn't considered an aa, it's an ability that scales down with AS, can crit and procs on hit effects, but it still is an ability.

You can CONSIDER something to be something else and have it still actually be the original thing.

Everything you just said contradicts yourself.

If an ability was considered an auto attack it would have everything you just mentioned, its CONSIDERED an auto attack.

Third definition of consider "regard (someone or something) as having a specified quality." It has the quality of most things that an auto attack would have. BUT IT DOESNT ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE AN AUTO ATTACK.

Dafuq.

It's an ability and that's it. No where is stated that it is considered as an autoattack (as it is with GP Q), and it isn't considered as one.

Idk what you are trying to tell me.

It doesn't need to be stated that it is considered an auto attack? The sentence is still valid because it has the defining qualities of being an autoattack.

IM TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT AN ABILITY CAN BE CONSIDERED AN AUTO ATTACK BUT STILL BE AN ABILITY.

Considering an ability to be an auto attack is not the same as saying an ability is an auto attack. NOWHERE DID I SAY THAT HIS Q IS AN AUTO ATTACK.

Reread my last reply because I clearly gave you the definition of consider. We are done here.

That is has the qualities of an autoattack, but isn't considered as one and that's why Jax E shouldn't block it.

It having the qualities of an auto attack literally means it can be considered as one, something can be considered to be something else but still be the original thing.

You literally just contradicted yourself again, third definition of CONSIDER -to regard something as having a specified QUALITY.

It having the qualities of an auto attack literally means it can be considered as one, something can be considered to be something else but still be the original thing.

It is activated with an ability button, and not with right click, and that's why it isn't an autoattack.

Idk what you are trying to tell me here.

it is an ability that scales down with attack speed, can crit and procs on hit effects, but it still isn't an autoattack and also nowhere is stated that it is considered as one like GP Q, where it is stated in the tooltip.

Does Jax rly block all of them? Including Fizz Q?

If yes, mb.

I guess the thing here is that the Yasuo Q does only proc on-hits on the first target hit, and the tornado doesn't all all.

Ah and I'm just reading on the wiki that his Q actually can be dodged but only if the target is the one he applies the on-hit to, so that's prob why the tornado can't be blocked.

I still think it is fair that way as the tornado also doesn't proc things like item 3087, so it basically is just an aoe spell.

The tornado does proc shiv, aha.

None of his Qs are blocked by Blinds either, and Pantheon's passive only works if he's the first unit hit. So inconsistent.

His q procs shiv. His q is an auto attack. His q ahould be blocked by jax e And yes, jax blocks all the mentioned above.

His normal Q does only proc shiv to the first target hit, and the tornado does so only too, so his tornado and his stab Q to secondary targets aren't an autoattack and shouldn't be blocked.

After reading a little bit into it, his tornado and how it procs on hits were changed multiple times, and I think the most recent one is that his normal and tornado Q only proc on-hits to the first target hit, thus the ability only counts as an autoattack to the first target hit.

So it applies on hit effects but doesnt hit. xD

Sp33d Zer013 votes

Yasuo thrusts his sword to deal physical damage to all enemies in the target direction, applying on-hit effects to the first target hit.

Gangplank shoots the target enemy with his pistol, dealing Attack damage physical damage and applying on-hit effects.

Ezreal fires a bolt of energy in a line, dealing Attack damage physical damage to the first enemy hit, and applying on-hit effects.

Fiora dashes a short distance in the target direction then stabs a nearby enemy if one is present.The stab deals Attack damage physical damage and_** applies on-hit effects.**_

Weird how these all have the same wording, but only Yasuo gets a pass.

Wimbledofy1 votes

It's because Yasuo's is aoe and all the others are single target. The only ability Yasuo's Q can be compared to is Evelynn E I think, but I'm not sure how the interaction works in Evelynn's case. Edit: Fizz is another great example that I actually remembered, and Fizz's Q+W completely counters Jax's E, even though it does on hit.

Uhh yes. Watch his spotlight. His Q functions as a basic attack.

it should only block Yasuo's Q if jax is the first target hit, if not then it shouldn't block it, because Yasuo's Q only applies on-hit effects on the first target hit.
