Master Yi's meditate should not be interruptable

A defensive ability which roots you already has enough limitations on it.

Imagine if Garen's W rooted him and also could be removed by simply applying CC to him.

That's Meditate. lmao

Garen's W and Garen himself are completly different from Yi, bad comparison. But yes, Irelia's new W is like meditate and it isn't interruptable, meditate should work the same way now.

Ok so how does this justify Yi having an ability that is almost useless save for the attack reset attached to it? Are you saying champs like Garen can have serviceable defensive abilities and champs like Yi can't?

Reread what I said, then think very slowly

yes. because garen is a far less mobile juggernaut with far lower carry potential. so he gets more reliable defense.

dont look at yis w as you would as garens. its not meant to sustain him through a fight. its more meant to be used as an outplay tool to dodge short windowed burst and have it active for 1 or 2 seconds at the most, to bridge cooldown windows between alpha strikes.

youre supposed to use it more like fioras riposte. for example against a lux laser, or veigar ult. not to tank through a fight. if yis w wouldnt be interruptable, it would honestly be kindof broken.

Fiora's riposte actually blocks CC and turns into a stun if it does. Much better skill than Meditate.

So yeah that's a better comparison, and it also doesn't get interrupted.

Really no reason for Meditate to be such a garbage skill.

yi can alsos dodge enemy projectiles with alpha strike. that includes even direct targeted abilities like annies q. and its on a much lower cc than riposte.
