Anivia's Wall: in SOME way needs fixing [GAMEPLAY] [CLIENT]

Anivia's W "Crystallize Wall" is bugged... Actually it just looks more like Riot has made an error here and on one side or the other side, there needs a change... Either Riot should reword her W OR look at the below:

Her wall says it is "an impassable wall" and "Impenetrable all" but so far I have seen Vayne and Caitlyn and others, who's abilities don't state they can 'pass through anything' be able to move through it.

I totally understand a Tristana and a Corki being able to get past it but that is because they flies OVER it, but Vayne? Hers is a ground tumble.... She should not be able to tumble THROUGH something that is IMPASSABLE.

Also Caitlyn with her E "Net" that she recoils back from. IMPASSABLE means you cannot go THROUGH it. I understand OVER. But tumbling through or 'recoiling' through it is not right... Either it is not right due to the wording by Riot so it needs to be reworded or it's not right because you can't recoil or tumble THROUGH something impenetrable.

In a way, I can understand Malachite's Ult, being an "Unstoppable Force" but what would stop something UNSTOPPABLE? nothing.. unless possible something that was listed as IMPASSABLE. I suppose the who's and what, is down to riot.

Surely I'm not the only one that has caught onto this and see's an error, either at least in the wording or as I see it right now, other champs being unable to 'pass' through. I have searched the boards and see no other mention of this??

I hope Riot see's this and responds.

Well, I understand Vayne not being able to pass through, but Cait can wall jump, so its okay for her to do that. Plus if Anivia's W worked like Azir's ult, for some people, it would be considered op.

It's an issue with your over-expanded interpretation of the wording; in League a player can use abilities to get through impassable terrain like going up and over the ledge from the Dragon pit. In the description, an "impassable" wall means here that you can't pass, i.e. walk through it, contrasting it from a "passable" wall like Karthus'.

Is there a possible "mistake" with the way Riot worded the ability? Sure, fine, I can see how some people can misinterpret it. However, Anivia's wall is acting exactly how it should. It creates terrain, and it acts like any other piece of natural terrain in the game. If a champion has a "dash" or a "blink" then they should and will be able to go through Anivia's wall with that ability, just like they would be able to go through piece of natural terrain with that same ability. That is indeed how it is intended to work.

As a side note, just so you hopefully don't get confused in the future

I totally understand a Tristana and a Corki being able to get past it but that is because they flies OVER it

there is technically no going "over" anything because there is no actual Z-axis in this game. Sure, Tristana or Kha'Zix may be able to visually "jump over" stuff in this game, but their "jumps" (along with any other jumps in the game) are coded and treated exactly the same as a "dash" ability, like Graves' E or Lucian's E.
