Yasuo's windwall vs Zilean's Q is completely unfair

I get the idea of Yasuo's windwall is supposed to protect from projectiles like bombs and I am fine with that as long as it is still flying through the air. However, if Yasuo decides to use a windwall on a already landed bomb, it disappears as well because it is still a classified as a projectile. Keep in mind that after the bomb has landed, it is, by definition, no longer a projectile; a good part of Zilean's gameplay is to block a path with bombs so as to keep from retreating, help out your own retreating, or kiting; Yasuo has 3 seconds to react; Zilean's bombs are so big, it is difficult not to hit it with a windwall and Zillean only has two damage moves; which have a decent sized cooldown so yasuo can windwall basically almost everytime I throw a bomb and it hits an area (Q for poke or QWQ for heavy poke/ kill should you press the buttons rapidly enough as to get the stun).

tl;drYasuo's W stops Zilean's Q after they were put on the ground, making them no longer a projectile by definition but classified as one.

I propose the idea that Riot makes the bomb, when it is on the ground, be classified as a pet for coding purposes that explodes like Shaco's clone, has 0 damage for attacking, is untargetable, and is not controllable like Yorick's ghouls, Zyra 's plants, and Malzahar's old voidlings and, when it is not on the ground, be classified as a projectile that can be blocked.

This would be a bug, but I can't get it to happen on my test rig. Is there anything to it other than "bomb on ground, Yasuo windwalls the bomb" ?

Look at Yasuo continuing to be cancer that defies good game design. No surprise that the weeb champ fucks over one of my favorite champs.

It's part of Yasuo's identity that nothing about him makes sense. If any of his abilities did what people expect, he would cease to be unique.

I also wonder why Soraka's Starcall is also blocked by his wall [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Windwall has always been a cancerous ability, it is the bane of all skillshot champions. No amount of counter tips would make anyone feel good about destroying Yasuo. When it comes to Yasuo, everyone just wants him dead and suppressed for the rest of the game, period.

Just classify it as an AoE, like Karma Mantra Q.
