Yasuo Dieing during his Ult

I'm curious what the intention is here. Many Ultimates, have a small delay just before they fire. (Lux, Jinx, Ezreal just to name a few) None of these ultimate's do their damage if the champion dies before the ultimate successfully fires.

Yasuo's ultimate is inconsistent if he ults, even if he dies mid-flight before reaching the target, all targets receive the additional knockup AND the damage.

I was a jinx, and my team was knocked up ( I was not ) I fired a rocket just before he ulted which hit him mid-flight before he actually reached my team. But, my entire team received the additional knockup and the damage from his ult. Seems inconsistent when I fired my own ult later in the game, but died before it completed firing. The ult went on cooldown, but no rocket was ever actually fired.

That makes sense, I'm not arguing that jinx's rocket should fire even if she dies mid-animation. I just think it's inconsistent to have Yasuo's ult complete itself without his presence.

The targets were already, well, targeted. The ult had already affected the enemy when Yasuo pressed R. Yasuo suspends the targets longer in the air than the normal knockup would. The ults you showed were also skills shots, not targeted abilities. Another example of what I mean is that although Lissandra ult does damage instantly, the target is still suppressed even when Lissandra dies.

It still doesn't make sense because the damage should be applied "once he lands" if he dies before ever making it to his target, I don't think death should = landing.

There are plenty circumstances where a champion can deal damage post-death. But this is one of those cases where it doesn't seem like it should be possible.

I understand allowing for the 1 second of additional CC. But it feels like the damage once he lands should be negated if he's dead before he ever makes contact with the target.

How you could kill Yasuo "before he reached his target" if his "dash" teleports him to the target nearly instantly while being untargetable durning said dash - like Zed's Death Mark?
