Can Yasuo's Dash not 1 shot Zyra's Plants?

ShadowParker··133 votes·12,300 views

This is a bit ridiculous. Especially since spells don't damage Plants all that much. So why does yasuo have the ability to 1 shot them?

Edit: So this post stops getting noticed and upvotes and commented. I was wrong, I was under the impression that it could one shot the plants. When actually, it deals 2 damage just like every other single target spell.

He doesn't one shot them (just checked). His E deals 2 damage just as expected (like every other targeted ability).

Now, I have bigger issue: Why is this thread upvoted? It's filled with nothing but misinformation and is not worthy of more attention than a simple: "It doesn't work like that".

Because the boards hate Yasuo and sympathize with Zyra since she's considered weak. The OP fits the narrative; it doesn't have to be true.

Lol you're actually right, I take back my up vote xD

I hate Yasuo too, but I believe there are enough valid and real reasons to hate him - you don't need to make up new ones.

As for Zyra... I will just say this: If she will ever get a buff (or they fix the plant AI completely) then immidiately after she will be nerfed to even worse state that she's in currently.

Indecently, she wasn't supposed to be a support. She another mid-lane reject that pushed out proper supports.

Agreed, Yasuo shouldn't be able to one shot Zyra's plants with his E. As of patch 3.15 Sweeping Strikes will deal 2 damage to Zyra plants (same as any other single target spell).

Are you saying that the OP is incorrect on the fact that Yasuo's E can one-shot Zyra's plants, or that it's a bug/unintended thing and needs to be fixed?

Says 3.15, we're on 5.18. Basically OP is false info.

Single target spells dealt 4 health bars to zyras plants since always,I have no fucking idea what's going on.

It maybe just be that Yasuo auto attacks the target he used E on if possible (I am not quite sure as I don't play Yasuo) (The same way Leona and Katarina automatically auto attack the target they use E on)

Probably is the case of E+aa,as single target is 4 bars,aoe is 1 bar and aa is 2 bars.

But why does meddler say single target spells deal 2 damage to zyra's plants? Did they change something again?

Champion Skin1 votes

Simple just view Zyra plants as having 3 hp and single target spells deal 2 damage and AoE deals 0.5 damage

She has 6 bars,it was always seen as 6 hp,you might be sarcastic but it's impossible to tell.

I always saw 3 bars... being consumed by halfs, which confused me deeply.

It looks like 3 to me on this picture of Zyra plants which is what I believe meddler is referring to

I guess you're right then.

That...super old picture though... Dang. Where'd you get that from

Champion Skin1 votes

I think it is from PBE Zyra if I remember correctly as it is from surrenderat20.net (the Zyra's name is Moobeat)

Though I found it simply by searching on google images

ChimeiTekinaNasu2 votes

Yeah. Figured it was PBE release Zyra, but thought you might've had it saved, but was wrong. lol

Pale Pirate2 votes

He is saying that he the OP saw a Yasuo use E + Q and thought that he once shot it.

LankPants1 votes

Regardless of whether the OP was right or utterly and completely wrong on this issue he does bring up a very good point. Zyra's plants are far too squishy right now and they have a tendency to just die to random effects in a fight without any sort of focus.

This is one of the main things that holds mage Zyra back. A good chunk of your damage is so easily deniable from you, why play her when someone like Azir has invulnerable sand soldiers? Or even just Heim's somewhat tankier turrets?

LaserDeathBlade2 votes

Zyra's plants aren't heimer turrets, getting off 1 or 2 shots is already good enough

...........What?? erm, you mean the incoming 6.15 patch of next year, it will be changed to 2 damage instead of 1 shotting her plants??

Photos of Ghosts3 votes

No, 3.15, the patch where Yas was released.

ChimeiTekinaNasu1 votes

"In patch 3.15, Yasuo will deal 2 damage", which means must be a change for a future patch or something. So it has to be a typo. I don't know. Will, as in, it's going to be made that way and isn't already that way.

That's why it's sarcasm.

can we make it so that cait headshot oneshots zyra plants instead of it being consumed and still counting for one hit.

Partholonian67 votes

It shouldn't trigger at all. Plants don't have heads.

Joe Dredd10 votes

because logic in league works lets let trist be invulnerable during her jump because no one throws stuff that high

junglerboy1618 votes

But actually, lets have trist take 10% max HP true damage when jumping for standing over an exploding rocket.

Maybe we could also make Thresh have to pull in his chain by hand after throwing his hook, or make Garen unable to walk in a straight line after using Judgement because he's dizzy.

This game is fun XD

YES!

Make it a fucking minigame where a crane shows up and you have to use your mouse to crank it really fast. It'll separate the good thresh players from the bad ones.

being lit on fire is actually possible though.

So are tidal waves, however parrying either with a sword stance is sadly impossible. :p

last time o checked, it does 2/3 of their hp, like prettymuch any other singletarget skill aswell. He probably combined it with his Q, which indeed will kill the plant, useing 2 skills....

I love the fact that a completely misinformed thread is insanely upvoted just because it's another "We Hate Yasuo" thread.

That's not it,bug threads generally get upvoted automatically,nothing wrong with it,you just occasionally get some false positives.
