What's the bug? The Wind Wall materializes past where the card is released, it should never block it. You were simply out played...

believe it or not, that is in fact the bug (that we more or less have been begging riot to keep)

his windwall materializes in the center of yasuo's hitbox, but technically its supposed to block projectiles the literal second its cast because if this. its always been this way, and this bug surfaced around 3 patches ago. the bug is that it wont block anything until it fully materializes

this is the one mistake in riots code that we wanted them to keep.

The Windwall starts on the opposite side of the projectile, it should never block it.

Not true, the bug is that it's just a 50/50 on whether the ability decides to work or not. I've seen abilities go directly through fully formed walls and I've seen WW still catch abilities when Yas casts last moment. In its current state there's no consistency and it just results in praying to RNGesus to save you from a death that should be avoided everytime.

If Riot intentionally changes the code to make it only block abilities when fully formed, and it made it 100% consistent it would be less annoying, but I think WW would need to travel a shorter distance or travel faster to compensate. If it had to be fully formed with its current travel time then it would be absolutely useless in laning phase and mediocre at best in teamfights.

That has never been how yasuo windwall has worked. I was not "outplayed".. TF players like to fake throw the card by canceling the aa or throwing a wild card because they want u to waste the windwall. The best yasuo players wait for the stun card animation to go off so that they can react by windwalling the projectile. This is a bug and never how windwall has worked or riot would have said something in the patch notes

The windwall travelling is just an animation. When you cast windwall, it's supposed to destroy projectiles that move towards the wall instantly. I looked at the animation and IMO that 100% should have blocked.

I'm ok with this, better than ''lulz I threw windwall in the opposite direction of the enemy and blocked their skillshot anyways OuTpLaYeD''

That explains why I was able to Blitz grab a Yasuo right through his windwall a few days ago. Both of us just kinda stood there for a moment, confused that the hook hit him. After my team killed him, I said in /all that that was broken and shouldn't have worked. It benefited me that time, but a bug is a bug.

He finally has counterplay for once. It can stay like this and he would finally be 10% balanced. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

What compensation buff would you prefer? Improvements to Windwall's duration, width, and/or CD, perhaps, to shift it from a quick-reaction spellshield to more of a fortification thing (a bit like Shen's W)? Or would you rather see a buff to some other part of his kit?

Keeping him how he is so he can finally die? [slayer-jinx-catface]

He has a ~48% WR. A crippling bug wouldn't stay on without a compensation buff, especially on such a popular champion selling so many skins. Frankly, I think you know perfectly well that a properly-functioning Windwall balanced for quick reactions is much healthier than a version of that spell balanced around such a long arming time. Consider Sivir's E, which activates instantly but only lasts a couple seconds, and compare that to Edge of Night, which takes a full second to activate but lasts 7 seconds.

He'll be ok.
