Vel'koz's W is a Rift in Space. How does Wind Wall block this?

Aeviox··91 votes·4,824 views

As the title says, Vel'koz creates a hole in space with Void Rift, but apparently holes are now a projectile because Yasuo can just stop space from splitting with wind. I don't really know if this is a bug, but I feel betrayed by the laws of League Physics whenever Yasuo blocks my Void Rift. Velkoz Sad Vel'koz :(

It's actually a Wall of Bullshit. And it blocks it because Fuck You.

This should be the tooltip.

I want to replace the current wind wall particles with the hand from riot's logo giving the middle finger.

Active: Yasuo creates a gust of bullshit that travels forward to form a wall in front of him. The wall slowly drifts forward over 3.75 seconds, blocking all enemy projectiles with the exception of turret attacks because fuck you.

somehow a single pixel off the corner of nami's ult touching windwall or unbreakable will make the whole wave disappear

With you there. I'm trying to avoid saying that Yasuo is OP AF so I don't sound like a butthurt n00b which I am, but.... Yasuo is OP AF.

It even stops Evelynn 's Hate Spike, which spike up out of the GROUND.

Wind Wall also blocks Viktor's Death Ray. Apparently wind is stronger than a laser. Because screw the laws of physics. :|

If you start the ray behind the wind wall then it won't be stopped.

At least, I read that on here awhile ago.

Yes, that is the case, however that requires you -a squishy, immobile mage- to get fairly close to an assassin. It's possible, though in doing so you're putting yourself in a dangerous position.

It's worth the risk just to read the Yasuo complain in /all chat about how Viktor is apparently "broken."

Wait until you play Xerath and they burn Windwall on your Q.

According to Riot, Viktor is broken too. Those nerfs hit his early game pretty hard. After being picked in the LCS, he went from being underplayed and considered 'weak' by most of the community to an OP top-tier pick. Things like that happen when the meta shifts, but now that it's shifting back to favouring assassins more, Viktor's in an even weaker spot than he was.

Don't get me wrong, he was always strong, but not nerf-worthy, and especially not the nerfs Riot gave him last patch. They hit his weakness, and not his strength. Early game, he's in a pretty bad spot, but once late game hits, he's just as strong and 'problematic' as he always was. It's delayed slightly, but the problem is still there. If Riot wanted to nerf him successfully, they should have just nerfed the damage on his Death Ray and left his Hex Core alone.

Fun fact: Yasuo is actually a god capable of manipulating time and space that only disguises his powers as wind.

You shouldn't. League Physics 101 teaches that anything that moves from A to B over a timeframe and is not a champion is a projectile

I think Telanoob was on about the fact that GP was disabled completely for a little while, all for his 'lore'.

So, GP mains, and people that just wanted to try him out got a big middle finger from Riot, because 'lore'. They should've just had him disabled in the Bilgewater event, but I digress.

Yeah, fuck Yasuo. I've hated him since release.

RasCaelestis3 votes

I think everyone that plays immobile mages hates him. His one ability completely negates all of our skillshots, and he can just dash around everything else we try to throw at him On top of that, he is a melee AD-based assassin with no resource, a decent-sized shield, and a long-range knockup that is capable of doing crit damage. This means that he can do more damage to us in three seconds than we can do to him with our entire kit.

Don't forget his ult is teamwide, gives Armor Pen, and is pretty much an ult that IS crowd control.

I don't play immobile mages and I hate every pixel that makes him up.

That's because you are playing the inferior Void champ.

Yasuo can block space rifts from the ground, but he cannot block space puke.

Closer inspection of the so-called "Wind Wall" shows that it is clearly a trace of a 4 dimensional object into 2 dimensional space.

Void Rift is clearly a two dimensional wormhole intersecting this "Wind Wall" at a perpendicular angle.

The intersecting planes would normally form a line; however, the 4-D nature of the "Wind Wall" causes significant permutations to its boundaries, meaning it superimposes into both the Void and Runeterra given by the wavefunction lambda = e^(-i k omega).

And everybody knows Leiko only makes her sculptures in Europe; therefore, the boundary line at the intersection between "Wind Wall" and the Void Rift cannot exist in Runeterra or the Void. The interaction reaches an asymptote and diverges.

Q.E.D.

AutoreactiveCD42 votes

I thought that when you took any dimension and added another dimension perpendicularly to it you created a higher dimension. Then everytime windwall stops void rift we are seeing the birth of a new dimension? In this new dimension does time exist? Can we even perceive it? Is the cake, in fact, a lie?

Community constantly tells Riot that they're boring because they don't add new mechanics.

Riot adds new mechanic, designs it carefully and balances it well.

Community bitches about Riot's new mechanic because it's new and different and it said terrible things about their mothers.

An ability that blocks every projectile in the game on-demand for 4 seconds is well balanced and carefully designed? That's hilarious.

JustMyBassCannon3 votes

An ability that blocks literally any ability in the game on-demand? Sounds balanced to me.

An ability that blocks 100% of damage for a few seconds on-demand? Sounds balanced to me.

An ability that allows you to prevent an ally from dying in 100% of situations? Sounds balanced to me.

OH FUCK! The game's LOADED with on-demand self- and team-defense tools!

That's assuming any of those are good design either.

They're not.

velkoz W makes no sense in why its blocked. its opening a rift on the GROUND. so yasuos wall digs into the earth and blocks anything that might sneak under it?

Lux Wind can block light. lel.

Not to mention the fact that the windwall has fucking metal or wood, or watever that is, that's holding the wind up. Like what the fuck. Wind stands on its own
