@Riot Azir ult can result in a 5-7 stun/snare

I experienced this in a match last night, I do not believe it to be a bug, however I do believe it is unintended. If an Azir player uses his ult against a wall in the right way you are rendered unable to move or react for the duration. What appears to be happening is that you are trapped inside of a soldier's hit box, and if try to move the soldier slaps you and knocks you back. (If you look there is an animation associated with this for each soldier) Unfortunately if the wall is thick enough it can't knock you through it and perceives you to still be inside the hit box, resulting in you being juggled for the duration the wall is active. This effectively results in a 5-7 second snare/stun. While I do love Azir, this is incredibly oppressive and believe it should be examined.

I've just been playing Azir and this may look broken against melee but it has to be done just right and still doesn't work on ranged or a number of champions with wall passing abilities.

This seems intended rather than a bug. Anivia can do the same thing with her ice wall.

I am unsure how the anivia wall trap works, or if you can use abilities or ranged attacks while in it. The Azir trap however prevents any action from being taken as you are in a constant state of displacement (at least it prevented me from casting flash, attacking at range, or dashing out over the wall). Additionally given the range and that Azir's ult moves you to the wall it is relatively forgiving for the caster, prevents melee, ranged or mages from taking action, and can theoretically be cast on an entire team.

They have to have been right up against the terrain wall already. Azir's is a bit worse because it actively shoves you back into the wall, with very little hope of movement, and can displace you into the position.

I would love to see an Azir breaking teamfights in LCS/worlds by shoving entire teams against a wall xD

Anivia wall trap: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=746809692021727 Yes, she flashed into it, but you can choke people off like that without them flashing over, effectively pins them there.

Right? It's like an angrier version of GNAR! XD

And thanks for the link!

This happened to me today as warwick, but I wasn't pressed up against a wall. The soldiers went past me, and I was stuck in place for about 5 seconds. Only thought is that I must have been juggled between the soldiers and Azir's hit box.
