I am pretty sure that when Tahm Kench spit out a minion it should be considered a projectile.
But it's not the case, i played not one but SEVERAL games on yasuo where i couldn't block his W, leading to frustrating situation, the minion just passes through the windwall.
I hope it's a bug to be fixed
Nebuul9 votesIt isn't a bug. Windwall never stops allied minions from going through. The same behavior is on Syndra and Sion minion tosses.
Auz the Ripper1 votesA coronary to Nebuul: It's a coding limitation, making windwall properly block them would take far too long and have far too good a chance of introducing bugs that would be far worse
Partholonian2 votesIt's not just a coding limitation, it also makes more sense this way. A unit is not a projectile. Windwall doesn't stop dashes, why should it stop knockback?
For similar reasons Braum shouldn't stop it either (unless of course it actually hits him).
The OP is just wrong from the first sentence. There are sound reasons for a minion spit out by Tahm to not be considered a projectile, and indeed, it is not in fact considered a projectile. Therefore it interacts appropriately (i.e. not at all) with Windwall.

Well this is just wrong. The fact that the minions thrown are nto considered a projectile is most likely due to technical issue, preventing a minion to become a "projectile". Because otherwise there is no reason at all
Dravinja5 votesUpvoted to find out if this is a bug or not.
Macilento1 votesRiot pls look into this issue
ItsJrodzYo1 voteswell i would think its a projectile too, but what would the minion do once it reaches the wall? Would it grant tahm gold? Would it grant yasuo gold? I dont think it should just disappear and bounce off the wall. I dont think minions are coded for being projectiles either, so maybe that's why it went through.

Well they should fix it anyway, the minion should stop on trak on the windwall. It's too big of a flaw otherwise

It's likely do it's splash there, do the damage (not past the wall) and if it kills the minion or anything around it, Tahm still gets the gold.
Celeste Benal1 votesHaven't seen it for myself. But knowing if this is intended behavior would be good.
Azteryz1 votesdoes wind wall stop a flying minion from sion e?
Auz the Ripper1 votesNo it does not
RottedApples1 votesporo toss (which is now an orange) went through walls/spellshields for a reason. why shouldn't minions do the same?
SpecterVonBaren1 votesWhat? Being able to completely block, like, 70% of the ults in this game with one move isn't enough for you?
