Vi's Q Interaction with Grounding Feels Wrong

StarTomb·Aug 21, 2017·1 votes·373 views

Grounding is supposed to stop dashes, but the first part of Vi Q is a self slow that she charges. It feels strange that she cannot be charging the abilty while grounded, preparing to release it when she is no longer grounded or failing if she tries to release it while grounded.

I always felt like it should work this way with roots as well, sure she has to stand still, but why would that interupt her charge?

Just a thought I've had for a while as a Vi main, I'm curious what other people think.

Thanks, I was hoping I wasn't the only one that felt like it was off.

Because thats how riot codes? Vi wasnt designed with grounding in mind.

I get that it's coded like that, it just feels like something that was overlooked during the implementation of grounding. I've got no idea what kind of work it would take to change it, but I thought I'd put the idea out there and see if other people thought it felt inconsistent with how grounding works or if it was just me.
