i think that yi can only dodge the damage not the stun that goes with it

Alpha Strike is supposed to make Yi untargetable, aka if Annie can't Q stun Fizz, she shouldn't be able to stun Yi either.

The thing is, Alpha Strike doesn't preoperly work since Pre-Season 6 at least.

If you use Master Yi's Alpha Strike to dodge Annie's Q, Annie's stun will not be consumed. Annie's Q does not consume her stun until the projectile reaches its target. However, if the target goes untargetable, the projectile will fizzle and not consume the stun, which means that she will still have her stun up for when you come out of Alpha Strike. This is not a bug.

If Annie is stunning you while you are in Alpha Strike, though, then it is a bug. Yi's Q has been known to be quite buggy for some time.

yo man wait a minute ANNIE THROWS THE STUN why would it matter if a target consumes it or not? How can u throw a rock and if someone dodge it you still will have the rock in your hand? Cmon man its simple god damn logic

On top of that for champions like Yi who relies on dodging with Alpha Strike to outplay the enemy. For Yi this is the only chance to win vs Annie. ONLY CHANCE

Because this is a video game, it is not bound by real world logic. For as long as I have played League, this is how Annie's Q has always worked. Her Q will not consume her stun until it reaches her target.

This is also the reason why you if throw out a Q as Annie and then afterwards use W or R before the Q lands, the W/R will be the ability that stuns, not the Q.

EDIT: I should mention that my example happens if you already have your stun up.

That's not how it works. Annie at two stacks can QWE, and the Q will stun. That's disgustingly broken, a projectile in flight should not change.

Whether you think it's broken or not, I'm almost positive that it's intended to work like that. In fact, unless Riot changed it, something similar happens with Trinity Force or any other item with the Spellblade passive. If you throw out a basic attack and then use a spell before the basic attack projectile lands, then that basic attack will proc the Spellblade passive. Phreak even makes a mention of it in I think it was Corki's champion spotlight that was made years ago, and AFAIK it's worked like that ever since.

If it's intentional, then it's outdated and needs to change. If it's unintentional, I'm shocked Riot hasn't fixed it yet.
