I really hate that there is no such thing as being airborne

LegitBacon66··26 votes·1,883 views

Despite champions that LEAP into the AIR actually are not airborne because everything below them hits them. I was playing Zac jungle and every time I tried to slingshot, a cait trap was placed under me mid jump and I am stunned and get headshotted. Same with khazix, he leaps away but mid leap hooked by thresh.

I was thinking this was a thread about Yas when I first read it.

According to Riot, Yas could ult onto those champions at some point in the dev cycle. It was removed for obvious reasons.

Back when I started playing I tried to jump over a powerballing Rammus as Trist. It did not end well for me.

I didn't know that you are unable to feel the emotion fear while flying. Have to talk to alot of people with phobia against flying in a plane.... seems these dudes are doing it wrong.

Yea you can still feel fear while flying but I highly doubt that if a plane was fucking dive bombing something the plane would fly leisurely in the other direction because the pilot got spooked ( Also I would fucking love it if there was gif for that)

Good morning, sunshine :D YT is full of Zac's bug whern he slingshots away and animation shows him running fast like hell wherever he is supposed to land...

Also Ziggs and Tristana- their animation is airborne while hitbox moves in a ground line. Spaghetti code. Get used to it, because that's not gonna change for a long time.

it's not even spaghtti code

it's just about having appealing and realistic visuals, while still having a balanced and consistent gameplay.

You wouldn't want corki to ignore every cait trap, would you?

Inquisitor Kane1 votes

If you want to talk about realistic visuals, then whole game is a mess. How can Corki, Janna, Syndra, Malzahar, Sol and so on... actually spring Cait/Nida/Teemo traps, since they are floating or flying? It's just a game. You can't take it "realistically" at any point.

But I agree that traps should either spring or be ignored 100% of the time for the sake of consistent gameplay.

Realistic as in: corki flies away (he actually lifts higher into the air) when he W's, and not just moves quicker.

But ok, scrap the realistic part.

"Why did I build this plane to fly only a couple feet off the ground?!"

  • Corki and Gyrocopter, probably.

Yes.

Yes there is. It requires you getting hit by a hammer coming up from the ground.

Silly.

So basically you want Zac to be invuln and untargetable during his leap LUL

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

See, this is because League does not have a Z-axis. There are animations that appear off the ground, but otherwise, hitboxes are on the grid.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

Actually, there are two instances of airborne in LoL.

  1. The mechanic - often referred to as "displacement".
  2. Ziggs ult. Despite having a projectile, actually travels over Braum and Yasuo walls. Therefore, it travels on a Z axis and is effectively "airborne".

Fizz ?

Let's see that would be yes too fucking op if zac could jump over traps/spells.

Kitten of Evil1 votes

Do you really want that enemy Yasuo to be able to ult you because your own skill made you airborne?

Alesya3691 votes

So you basically want every "jumping" champion be like Fizz using his E? Ok...
