Yasuo's ult isn't hindered by activating with a knockup

This is not a thread complaining about Yasuo, this is not about whining about losing to a Yasuo, those coming for a thread like that, type up 'Yasuo' into the searchbar, you'll find something. All this is is a thread attempting to correct a huge misconception people have about Yasuo's ult.

People often times like to talk about how Yasuo's ult is incredibly hindered by needing a knock up to activate, this would truly be a hindrance if he didn't HAVE a knock up in his kit, this isn't like Kalista who's screwed out of an ultimate if her oathsworn DC's, Yasuo doesn't need someone on his team to have a knock up in order to even use his ult, it gives him more opportunities to use his ult on someone than a lot of other champs.

Imagine if Ashe's ult could home in on any champion so long as they had a slow applied to them, what if Cho'gath could instantly gap close and ult someone if they got silenced. Even if you made it so both of their ults only worked when those respective types of CC's were applied to someone, I don't think anyone would say they are weaker for having the additional ability to automatically use their ult on an enemy just from having an ally apply a form of CC.

You can argue that in order to use his ult himself he needs to land a skillshot with his third Q, but it has never and WILL NEVER be weaker for being activated by knock ups so long as Yasuo has a knock up of his own.
