Master Yi is silence immune?

OK, this was a terrible game in general, but there were two plays against the enemy Master Yi that would have gone differently if he was actually being effected by silences (and channel interrupts).

The replay is here if you want to follow along... or if you just want to laugh at one of the worst games I've ever had: http://www.replay.gg/search/na/DrCyanide#2086132743


Exhibit A - "Interrupts Channels Immune" at 9:49 Viktor's Ultimate, everywhere you look in client or official website or wiki, says that it "Interrupts enemy channels". If you look at Master Yi's Meditate, it says that he "channels". So no brainer, the Ultimate should knock him out of it, right?

Yi didn't have meditate canceled. It lasted the full duration.

#EDIT: Insult to injury... In Exhibit A, Viktor's Stun Bubble is up for its entire duration around Yi, and he didn't get stunned either! Come on Riot! Immune to two forms of CC with no explanation?

Exhibit B - "Highlander now immune to Silence" at 11:16 Master Yi's ultimate only mentions it makes him immune to slows. There's no mention of him being able to cast it while silenced. Again, should be a no brainer, right?

Yi coming in, no silence down yet http://i.imgur.com/TxeNKBg.png Soraka drops the silence. Instantly Leona is silenced. Yi's still not in the circle. http://i.imgur.com/hMux6cC.png Yi very clearly in the circle, not silenced. Leona almost out of circle is still silenced. http://i.imgur.com/MMtzQTC.png Yi activates Highlander, very clearly in the silence area. http://i.imgur.com/O32QsnW.png Yi finally decides it's convinient to be silenced... after he gets off his own spell... http://i.imgur.com/0nb4GiZ.png

Soraka saw this one, Corki saw this one, it's clear as day that it shouldn't have happened in the replay. And yet, it happened.


Ultimately, those moments just really, really felt bad. In both instances the players consciously took actions to stop Yi, only to have him completely ignore those actions. Having two instances, less than two minutes apart, where a champion ignored a silence felt like we were being cheated against. Someone needs to look at what in the world is going on in these cases.

No idea why it didn't interrupt his Meditate. The stun on the ground is coded to slow first. Since he's immune to the slow portion, he's immune to the stun portion. Should it work that way? Probably not. But it currently does.

Raka is well known to have her E be sluggish about activating on people. That yi stuff is common

As for viktor, IDFK
