Master yi Alpha strike bug

Bar0nSlayer·Mar 16, 2016·2 votes·708 views

the bug seems to be that you can get hit by any and all aoe effects, lb w/e, rumble ult/q, dragon auto, baron damage. should you be hit by a cc ability you will get cced. personally i am a main and fighting a leblanc only to realize she can do her full combo on me while im in alpha given that im already hit by her q is really annoying (dont bash me for maining yi, i think he`s fun) the video is a very good example of the buf playing out many times with several diffrent abilities (with a few other bugs too)

Its my understanding that Alpha makes you untargetable but not invulnerable and if you can hit his light stream you technically can hit him, though, I could be wrong on this. Another common reoccurring thing in the video is the fact that he's casting Alpha on a single target. When you do this you teleport to them, deal the damage, and given no other targets to bounce to, it ends. At other times i'm just seeing (such as the alistar knock up around 30 sec) that people are just using game mechanics - if you Alpha 2 people you'll bounce 1, then 2, then reappear where you started. If you slow it down you can see Alis knock up hitting Yi as he respawns where he started.

I admit though for the invisible thing and the meditating I got nothin.

You're mistaken. Untargetable but not invulnerable is correct, which is exactly how fizz's E, Vladimir's W, Elise's Rappel, Shaco's ult. A common misconception is that some of those champions have invulnerability, that's not the case. Untargetable means that you are unable to be targeted by projectiles/skillshots/targeted abilities. You can still take damage from DoT (Bleeds, pop effects like zed ult/trist E) unless you were untargetable before it was applied (ie. Zed's ult can be dodged while he's in his animation, plenty of vids on youtube for Yi especially). At some point in season 5, untargetability and projectiles got changed (The former was not documented) in that they no longer visibly remove you from the map (Shaco's/Master Yi's and I think Elise's used to do this) and then bugs started popping up. Not all of the clips in this video are bugs, but most of them are. My post goes into detail of what bugs exist and common misconceptions behind them not being bugs/what untargetability means

I know things like dot is supposed to damage you but when a LB w's you while in alpha wouldnt you get just slightly annoyed since that should definitley not have hit/killed you

some of the clips have him reposisioned before he gets hit but the thing is that aoe still hits you, but not always, if aoe abilities 100% of the time did hit you i would acually have wondered if it wasnt a bug but since you only get hit by aoe spells while in alpha 30-40% of the time i definitley dont think its supposed to happend
