Ultimate abilities are called ultimate for a reason

The Ecdysiast··3 votes·599 views

So it makes sense that the cases of Malphite's, Vi's, and Warwick's ultimate abilities should be immune to Poppy's W. However, Warwick's Q should not be granted that same immunity. It damages, heals, and applies on hit effects while also being able to latch on to every champion in the game through flash and all movement. Her W should stop it as a special case against its displacement immunity, not the other way around.

Don't know why people would hate on one interaction for Poppy when she is neither overpowered nor overpicked right now.

Well there's really no reason this isn't the case. And Poppy is in no position for people to argue that she can't have this.

I have no choice if people start the thread with downvotes, because then more reasonable people won't even see it.

I think this case is fine, honestly. WW's Q being unstoppable isn't an issue in 99% of circumstances (and is frankly needed in many of them), and making a specific rule for Poppy that she ignores ONE specific form of unstoppable but not ALL forms of unstoppable gets into really weird edge cases and might be a coding problem in the future.

The other forms of unstoppable are not dashes. And his Q frankly should not be unstoppable as it is a movement ability.

Making a specific rule for Poppy's W where one dash ignores it but most don't is a little ridiculous.

No, all the other unstoppable ones are dashes as well. Malphite's ult is a dash, Hecarim's ult is a dash, Shyvana ult is a dash, Warwick ult is a dash, Vi ult is a dash, etc.

Huh? Shyvana ult, Vi ult, Malphite ult, and Hecarim ult are all dashes. They're dashes with other effects, but any ground-targeted skillshot non-blink is a dash. Even Kled ult and Sion ult count as dashes, albeit odd ones.

Things Poppy CANNOT stop,

Shyvana dragon (when she dives),

WW ult (tho it gets a funny glitch sometimes where he flies straight up out of view and starts his ult animation)

Vi ult,

Malphite ult,

And Diana ult.

All of these either have "untargetable" or prevent displacement

Diana's ult is not unstoppable Poppy's W will block the first dash but not the second if Diana landed her Q as Poppy can only stop one dash from a champion

Diana Akali and Ahri's first dash is always blocked but the next ones can all get through

WW's Q actually takes some skill. His ulty, too. Poppy I am sorry but it's not too hard. Malph's R "unstoppable", Vi's R "unstoppable", WW's R "unstoppable". They can't be stoped by Poppy's W not beacuse they are ultimates but because they are "unstoppable". Read the descriptions of the abilities first. And as fars as I know Poppy's W blocks only dashes and as far as I know WW's Q is not a dash. It's just have the effect to stick to moving champions. You are a Poppy player and thats why you want that buff.
