Petition to Make Bard's Q Stun If It Hits A Windwall

ACTIVE: Bard fires a burst of spirit energy in the target direction, dealing magic damage to the first enemy struck and briefly slowing them by 60%.

After Cosmic Binding hits an enemy, the burst of energy passes through them and searches for secondary targets. If it hits a wall or a second enemy, it stuns both targets for the same duration, dealing the same magic damage to the second target as well.

Bard's Q should stun if it hits an enemy and a windwall. In fact, it is called a windWALL. Upvote for the buff Bard needs.

Edit: Some people seem to be honing in on how to counter Yasuo. This post is about Bard's specific interaction with Yasuo. It is about how this makes sense according to Bard's Q tooltip. It has nothing to do with how to counter Yasuo.

I will always upvote anything that actually provides counterplay to Yas.

If it's an ally's Wind wall yes. But unfortunately, the coding for Yas does not aloud flexibility to let an enemy treat it as a wall due to it's nature for poofing any hostile projectile out of existence.

I rather have an actual Bard buff instead of sacrificing Kit strength just so he can have a unique interaction. If they do this, then the Malphite and Cassiopeia Jokes will become a legit request.

if they try to create this interaction somethings going to fuck up and yasuo will passively attack all towers while respawning at redbuff and having an exponential ad scaling on his w

I dno. I'm all for Bard buffs, but this sounds like we're asking for bugs.

Yasuo's windwall erases the existence of Bard's Q... Therefore it should not stun.

it doesn't really hit the wall though; it dissipates upon reaching the wall.

however, with azir, anivia or jar van wall i would agree

If it hits an ally wind wall, I'm for it, however, hitting an enemy's destroys the projectile, so it simply wouldn't work

This... is actually a good idea. I like this.

Why does bard have to have a counter to Yasuo anyway? There are other counters to Yasuo, use other champs, CC's and focus him hard (basically what others mentioned already).

If bards Q hits a target then hits a wall right after.....then it should stun. A WALL. What is a wall? Wall is something you cannot physically pass through. A "WIND" WALL is like a figure of speech..in actuality, its not a wall. Its the freaking wind blowing upward, looking a lot like a "wall". Both enemy and allies are free to walk through the wall, thus, its NOT a wall that can proc the stun.

You think if Yasuo puts both his arms up and form a "wall", bard will be able to stun his target using this "wall"?

I hate Yasuo as much as well anyone, he's one of the few champions I can honestly say I would happily delete from the game. However I do agree he's not all powerful. Windwall provides a strong counter to any projectile spells but u can in turn just walk through/around it and save big spells for when its off CD. Plus Yas is kinda easy to harass pre-6. I played Azir into a Yasuo multiple times and unless the Yas is really good I can usually poke him down to the point that if he wants to engage I can kite back and kill him (also funny to watch a Yas try and E through Emperor's Divide multiple times and only bonk himself for more damage). Another pick I found really effective vs Yasuo is Swain. Swain's E + Q provide really strong harass against him, plus due to the short range on E u can usually fake him out by walking up and AAing and he'll freak and pop wind wall. Then u just pop Q and W on him and laugh until u can get around the wall to E.

What about other types of walls like jarvan IV ultimate and anivia wall?
