Tristana's jump (W) can be interrupted in mid-air

Therises·May 28, 2016·1 votes·906 views

I'm so frustrated about it. Every time I try to jump away from the , , etc, they catch me in the mid-air. WTF. Also, gets stunned and stops in the mid-air when you try to jump over the 's stun. WTF #2. And, sometimes, I can't jump over the wall, even if the range of the ability is sufficent. Please fix, or provide some information about this what-I-call-a-bug situation. It's really important to me, because is my main adc for ranked games.

You can jump out of the Blitz hook if you jump just as it hits you. Takes practice, but is hilarious once you have the timing down.

On topic, this is how it's meant to work. Dashes and jumps have an animation and travel time so they can be interrupted, blinks are the ones that are instant and different.

Well, I get it now. But still it's sad that animation doesn't match mechanics.

Mostly because it would be absurd for Tristana to have the same type of untargetability that Fizz has.

Its intentional

So why call it a jump, if, in fact, it's a dash?

They function the same way soooooo..

Well, nope. Jump implies you can jump over, for example, Veigar's stun. With dash you can't. Well, if that 'jump' can't be disrupted in mid-air that would be wonderful.

What jumps can get over veigar stun????????

TherisesMay 28, 20161 votes

I meant actual jump, the one, that animation is doing.

Tyrone LannisterMay 28, 20161 votes

Jump function the same ways as dashes. They just look different.

TherisesMay 30, 20161 votes

Yeah, but still sad.

This is 2 days old but I would like to give some insight.

There are a few reasons why trist jump doesnt work that way:

1: Balance 2: It's a lot of work 3: The game has no Z axis

Knockups and jumps and whatever are entirely visual, as the game as no z axis. It simply looks like things jump. I'm sure you know this, but this is important because the game has no checks for where someone is in the air. Sure, you could program a spell to only work on trist if she isn't jumping, but that would include most spells in the game, and would cause some balance problems. So as everyone said, its intentional, but I just thought I would put this out there.
