Yasuo vs. Vel'Koz

the young owl··6 votes·2,943 views

Hi I'm a Vel'Koz player. I don't think Yasuo's wind wall should be able to cancel Vel'Koz's knock-up when the knock-up is placed behind the wall. It just doesn't make sense to me - it's on the ground. I am basically unable to escape when I'm against Yasuo in the mid lane because he can block everything. Thanks.

This is so true. Wind wall can't block syndra's W and it's leggit the same thing as Vel'Koz's E. A projective that is sent from the caster and that lands into an AOE. Why is Vel'Koz's E different?

Actually he can block Vel Koz's W...

I'm pretty sure he can't. But, again, I'm not emphasizing the idea of doing damage. I'm trying to discuss the possibility of escape.

the first time when you fire it, he can wall it. Once its on the ground, he can't.

I just played a game against him. I'm fairly certain that he can't. But that's besides the point of this post.

He was able to before the rework so rip.

I'm 100% sure he can block Velkoz's W.

I didn't know he could block the knockup too, that's dumb. Honestly that's a reaaaaaaaally hard matchup for velk. I'd avoid it at all costs if possible.

he can, I have done it plenty of times, but only the initial cast

Vel'Koz's E fires a projectile which then strikes the ground and causes the eruption. Since it is a projectile it gets blocked just like any other projectile.

the young owl1 votes

I'm aware that his E is described as a sort of projectile, but I don't think that is appropriate because of the way it actually works in game. Basically, what I'm saying is I don't think it should actually be treated as a projectile when we consider its interactions with other champions.

For all you dummies arguing about which abilities get blocked http://puu.sh/pQtYy/2dd8e7204c.webm

I agree. You are completely correct.

I completely agree with you Yasuo is a dumb ass champion with zero logical sense backing up his dumb kit. Takes zero skills to put up a wind wall and blocks practically 90% of all the projectiles in the game. Riot should either remove that dumb mechanic or delete that stupid champion. As a Ahri, lux, ziggs, and Cho gath main I find it very oppressive having to lane against a Yasuo which prevents me from getting challenger.

P.S: I'm not really a Cho Gath main.

If Yasuo is the only thing stopping you from Challenger, ban him every game.

I'm referring specifically to the knock-up. Since my Q would be blocked it's my only chance for escape. I certainly wouldn't be using my ult to try to escape.

Hi lm Negan1 votes

What the fuck? He can't block your ultimate, like what the fuck do you want more?

Arakadia1 votes

It makes kinda sense because Vel'Koz shoots a projectile at the ground.

Papa Slothy1 votes

I agree, it shouldn't count as a projectile

The Mom1 votes

His e is a projectile. The area its going to affect lights up, but vel shoots his void power to that area to use it. That is why his windwall blocks it.

Yasuo was an easy match up pre rework. RIP Vel'koz.
