@Riot PETITION to allow ground base "projectiles" to bypass windwall.

When it comes to how things interact we believe it's best to go for a clear, consistent set of rules where possible, so that you can predict ahead of time how two abilities will behave together. In the case of Windwall, Braum E and any other missile stopping effects we might someday do, that meant we needed to develop a set of rules on what they would and wouldn't stop, with the goal of keeping those rules as clear cut as possible. What we ended up with is basically:

• Missile blocking effects will stop all projectiles unless those projectiles go so high they vanish off the top of the screen.
• Projectiles are defined as abilities or attacks that move between locations with a travel time
• Units are not projectiles. For things that are around the border between a unit and a projectile (Orianna's Ball, Maokai's Saplings etc) a judgement call's needed, with whether or not the thing has some agency of its own being one of the key tests used to assess whether to treat the thing as a projectile or not.

That does mean that some things that thematically don't feel like they should be stopped by a wall of wind (Nami ult, Braum ult etc) do still get blocked. That can feel a bit weird thematically, we believe that's a worthwhile cost for the gameplay clarity it offers though. Nautilus' ult is at present an exception to the above, being unaffected by Windwall/Braum E, and that's something we'll change so that it functions like other projectiles.

Meddler stated they were gonna change Naut's ult to be like other projectiles. So it won't go through windwall/braum's E shield like it does atm. THIS IS THE WRONG WAY TO GO.

Ground base skills that represent it self being generated from the ground SHOULDN'T be blocked by a Windwall and Braum's E. Why? because of clarity of game play. If this change does go through, Skills shouldn't have ground base animations anymore and should be changed.
