Knock Ups

Hey guys, I just made this post on the Champion Feed back, but I also thought I would make it here, it's a short post, but it was an honest question, so what do you all think?

Hey all,

How come it seems, ever since Yasuo came out, every new champ seems to have a Knock Up. Are all new champs just being based around Yasuo and being made to work with him? Is he the new Poster Boy of Riot?

Velkoz : knock up

Braum : Knock up

Gnar : his ult throws, haven't tested it, but almost 100% it can work as a trigger for Yas ult

Azir : two knock ups

Even the Sion re-work now has a knock up.

Edit: I actually just noticed, the Sion re-work has two knock ups.

Is something going on that I am missing? Or is Yasuo just now that much of the face of League? Yasuo

Yeah, I've noticed too. Lots of knockups now. And Yasuo can ult off of any displacement CC, not just knock ups, which is even more annoying.

But more troubling to me than Yasuo is the fact that you can't itemize against knock ups. Tenacity, cleanse, and quicksilver sash all do nothing against knock ups, which makes their increasing prevalence troubling. It's clearly the best form of CC to bring to a fight.
