Is it really necessary for dravens spinning axes to flat out disappear if a yasuo puts up a windwall in the middle of draven aa'ing him or his allies standing next to him? I understand that any enemy beyond the wall shouldn't take any damage at all, but can the spinning axe at least bounce off the wall and allow him to catch it? It really hurts his damage output when this occurs in teamfights. A small mistake for draven in this exact instance hurts him greatly whereas every other adc is not effected anywhere near as much. Any other adc can just reset their positioning and still contribute their full damage output for their team. I get left with flimsy non amplified auto's, a w that only amplifies aspd/ms, a flimsy damage stand aside if it's not on cd, and an ult which can do some work provided their team is all bunched up and if it's not on cd.

I've heard rebuttles of... "Oh well he still has great damage even without his axes" My response to that is I'd believe that if Draven happened to snowball... He doesn't manage to snowball every game guys...

I hear rebuttles of "don't throw the axe into the wall." Response: Of course I'm not going to throw an axe into the wall after he puts it up. I can't cancel my auto after the projectile launches and a Yasuo throws up his wall during it's travel time out of shear luck.

Ready to be downvoted by Yasuo mains.

If you read my post without skimming through it, you'd see that I said "if a yasuo puts up a windwall in the middle of draven aa'ing him or his allies standing next to him?" Let me bold the key word here... middle.

I'll explain it further... all auto's from marksman have a travel time and thus cannot cancel their auto after it is fired. It's very easy to not throw an axe after he has already wind walled. Predicting when he will use wind wall is possible, but not as easy to do. It also doesn't harm any other adc anywhere near as much if they failed to predict the wind wall. Your advice is not helpful at all.

Very rarely would myself or any other draven player throw a spinning axe after he sees a windwall go up as there is no point in doing so... for any draven or any auto from any other adc for that matter.

I almost feel like any rioter would see this as a reasonable complaint yet it would be deemed of "0 or little importance." to get worked on as I assume the coding would be too difficult to change.

I see why as his spinning axes are amplified auto's and therefor projectiles so the almighty windwall makes them disappear like any other projectile. I don't mind my ult disappearing into Narnia ( It's more of an execute or can chunk a little aoe dmg, NOT my main damage source)... I don't mind his stand aside disappearing into the abyss or wherever windwall sends projectiles either, but cmon!? My spinning axe!? :( At least allow me to catch the darn thing and be of some relevance to the teamfight.
