Example only did this multiple times against yi. I go to polymorph him slightly before he uses his Q ability. it shows me it on cooldown as if I used it however he goes into his ability and comes out un morphed before and after.

There is a momentary cast time on polymorph. This is just enough time for yi to enter Alpha strike and avoid being turned.

even tho it shows it hitting and uses it making cooldown come up don't u think he should atleast come out of alpha strike polymorphed? and fact I cant cast after because cooldown is up now because he went into alpha? shouldn't it reset my polymorph cooldown so I can cast polymorph since it doesn't work pre alpha strike?

First, it doesn't matter what I think. I'm not coding it nor could I change it.

Second, Many abilities act this way. If the ability makes it through the full cast time it is considered cast and will go on CD. Yi becomes untargetable and therefore dodges the polymorph.

The only advice I can give you for this is to hold it until after the alpha strike especially if its not going to hit him to stop the damage. At least let yourself get away while using it after he goes in.

that's what I been doing just don't like the range of his q and her polymorph to be near exact same range it fails always if they are thinking lets q first lol. however now I wait until they get close or acutally melee me before I use it less unlikely for them to use it at that point but higher chance I could die. thanks for the comments. i was selfish. <3 lulu and i main yi. lol

Its not even cast time. Its travel time. Whimsy becomes a projectile when casted on an enemy. Going untargetable breaks homing projectiles so if Yi alpha strikes at any time after Whimsy is casted and before it polymorphs him, it won't affect him at all.

Whimsy goes on cooldown on-cast. As an analogy, what you are pretty much asking for is if Ezreal's Q (this could be any champion/skill) missed it would reset simply because it didn't hit a target.
