Why does Braum still get hit by Morgana's Q and Ahri's E?

Like how is that fair?

Okay, rage over. Please explain. What's going on? I thought it was similar to Yasuo's W.

"Braum raises his shield in a direction for several seconds, intercepting all projectiles causing them to hit him and be destroyed."

So I guess it does no damage but since it has CC and it hits him then he gets CCed.

Because braum still gets hit by every spell and their cc that comes at his wall. He just mitigates the damage from the first by 100% and the remainder 3.5s is X% mitigation.

Not quite. Yasuo's W destroys projectiles, but Braum redirects them to himself and negates damage only from the first hit, then reduces damage by a percentage for subsequent hits.

Braum's shield should intercept anything Yasuo's W destroys. But other than that, they're different abilities that behave differently.

For instance, Brand's ult will be redirected to Braum so it hits him dealing 0 damage(but still applying passive), and then gets to bounce again. Yasuo's wall will instead destroy the ult completely. Similarly, Ashe arrow will stun Braum, but not Yasuo.
