When the hell can we expect a fix to Windwall's functionality? It's been *years*

Seriously, why does Windwall still function in an ABSURD way?

It is supposed to block PROJECTILES.

Pyke's E is not a projectile. It's a ghostly shadow. Ornn's ult is not a projectile. It's a GIANT FUCKING RAM SPIRIT MADE OUT OF FIRE THAT'S BIGGER THAN ANY CHARACTER IN THE GAME.

Windwall literally does nothing but make a champion who is ALREADY arguably the most anti-fun, infuriating champion in the entier game even more infuriating.

Is League's underlying framework seriously that messed up that you can't hardcode special-case interactions to make an incredibly un-intuitive ability less of a global "anything that isn't in melee is somehow defined as a projectile for no real reason" slap in the face?

I mean c'mon.

Does it move along the ground or in the air? If the answer is yes, It is a projectile.

I mean if you special case a bunch of things then he's still frustrating for most of the other champions.

It's just a really stupid ability.

"Ornn's Ult is very big, therefore it is impossible for it to be a projectile"

Proceeds to say it blocks projectiles, then proceeds to complain it blocks.... projectiles.....

Ornn's ult is one of the best examples of a projectile you could possibly think of. Just look at it. Ignore real life logic and look at it as it is, a projectile.

whether or not it's a projectile is a matter of how it functions in the game, not what it looks like

Why does it work the moment it's cast, rather than having a cast time?

It seems ridiculous to me Yasuo can block this stuff on reaction like Fiora, for a AOE, long duration ability...
