Is there any reason that xayah can use her ultimate while being rooted ? I mean its not a big deal when u think about it on 1st leg,but when u lose game cuz of that mechanic its really anoying. I read a discussion about it but its 2 years old and a lot of things changed meanwhile... I really think that should be fixed and disable xayah r when rooted.

Because roots let you use abilities, but not move. Xayah can ult, but she cant move whilst she does it

Yup.

Yes. Because she doesn't actually change her position.

The y axis only exists visually in League. It doesn't affect gameplay at all.

it actually does affect gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idXroXfPNZU just not as much as you would think for instance low-high ground isn't as strong as in dota

That's affecting gameplay, but only because it affects players, not the actual gameplay itself.

The spear misses when it appeared to hit because it didn't lower when it went above the river, while the dummy was in the river. If you moved the dummy up on the y axis, you'd see that it was a clear (if close) miss.

League is a 2d game with 3d visuals.

wait you are talking about lowering and raising and then you say it's a 2d game

league is actually a 3d game that is played on a 2d plane with varriance on hight thats only noticed in very specific scenarios as shown in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lORBkCkUriM also as more proof

there are no actual gameplay implications of the 3rd dimension except the low high ground visually misleading line skillshots

Visually the dummy was lowered. It appeared to be lower, and if you raised its model up to y=0 visually it'd then match its hitbox mechanically.

A solid 90% of the bullshit with hitboxes is because River is lower than not river.

yes i would love them to add the full high-low ground effect and apply it to vision one day so that the 3d aspect of the game is not just there to frustrate players when getting hit by things that look like they will miss and vice-versa maybe season 11

Tristana jumps trough the air but still gets stunned by Veigar Cage or other skillshots even though she visually seems to jumps over it.

In the In-Game Logic there is no Z-axis. Tristana Jump is actually just coded as a dash. Xayah "leaping in the air" is technically only her visually jumping in the air to demonstrate the untargetability but not coded as a movement. She can usually move normally during it; her getting rooted correctly prevents the normal movement but not the untargetability since, as the other user correctly said, it is not a movement ability.

Therefore it is working as intended.

There's nothing to fix. Her R is untargetability followed by damage in a cone. Roots don't disable non-movement abilities.

They realy should just remove it cuz in a way it rewards bad timing/positioning. It is super unfair for her to get hit by cc and still being able to go untargetable ...
