Fun Fact: Annie ult selects target on cast, not after cast. You can't Alpha that. It has worked like that since the game launched.

If he was in alpha and Annie ult, it should miss him, in his new spotlight YI dodge Sona's ultimate that way.

sona ult is a projectile though while tibbers is not

why would you compare sona's ult to annie's ult?

They are not even similar abilities.

I miss old poppy tackle, you could tackle yi out of alpha strike too. RIP old poppy.

Do you at least acknowledge that there are bugs with alpha strike and are working on a fix or do you believe it's working as intended despite all the bug reports since season 5?

There are instances where people are hit with abilities during alpha strike. There are instances where alpha strike is cancelled by fog of war even though the cast time completed, which results in another bug where you keep the alpha strike buff icon in your buff bar and are unable to meditate for ~4 seconds until it disappears since alpha strike bugged out. Also, dragon resets, gaining hp and its knockback a lot of the time when you alpha strike.

These bugs are hard to reproduce except that last one, but that's no excuse to not investigate it when all these bugs have been around since early season 5.

Good for you.

Annie's Ult is not a skillshot or AoE. It's pet which will chase you and attack you. Yi becomes untargettable for ~1 sec and once back Tibbers will attack you. Or Tibbers can be controlled to attack you.

Alpha is useless against her ult. You gotta kill her or Alpha out of Tibbers reach.

ACTIVE: Master Yi blinks to the target enemy, dealing physical damage to it and up to 3 nearby enemies, to then reappear next to his main target. Non-champions receive increased damage. PHYSICAL DAMAGE: 25 / 60 / 95 / 130 / 165 (+ 100% AD) . #Master Yi becomes untargetable over Alpha Strike's duration

Untargetable =/= Invulnerable People can't target you but they should be able to Point click AOE Spell Stun you.

Kinda like When Akali does Shroud, Shes invisible and Untargetable Same with Teemo AOE spells and stuns still affect them.

Akali Goes into Shroud Kennen OH? Ults Akali Gets stunned while Invisible and dies a second later.

Look his spotlight, you'll see Phreak dodging Sona's ulti.

But what about Fizz's Playful/Trickster? He also becomes untargetable, but Annie can't ult him mid troll pole.

Fizz still takes damage from DoTs like ignite though while he's in Playful Trickster.

Harry DresdenMar 23, 20162 votes

Buuuuuuuut, not a point and click stun, or an AoE stun.

MimyMar 23, 20161 votes

Let's be real here... No one likes him anyways because of this.

Ashen RiderMar 23, 20161 votes

Why would Kennen kill Akali?

MaikalMar 24, 20162 votes

That's not how untargetability works. See: Fizz, Vladimir, Elise Rappel. Master Yi's untargetability is no exception. You cannot be hit because they put their cursor over where they think you are and cast their ability.

MimyMar 24, 20161 votes

Well then they should change it from "Intargetable" to "Invulnerable"

Because there SHOULD be a difference...

"Intargetable" - Cant be targeted, but CAN be hit. (With a skill shot, sorry point click champions..)

"Invulnetable " - can't be hit or targeted.

MaikalMar 24, 20161 votes

There is a difference... Untargetable champions still take damage from DoT (Ignite, red buff, etc.) and "pop" effects like Zed ult or Tristana E if they were applied beforehand. All debuffs that were applied before they went untargetable persist.

Invulnerable champions can be hit and targeted by everything, they just don't take damage but they are affected by all debuffs/cc. See: Kayle ult, Tryndamere ult.

The only instances you are both untargetable and invulnerable are with Zhonyas, GA stasis, Bard ult, Lissandra ult (on herself), and Zilean ult stasis.
