Yasuo's windwall and the definition of projectile

Salmarnez·8/28/2016, 6:51:50 PM·11 votes·2,069 views

There are many so called broken abilities in league and many people will argue both for and against those abilities. I truly believe Yasuo's windwall is severely broken and its actually not so much the ability but riots definition of a projectile. A projectile is usually defined as: a body projected or impelled forward, as through the air. Hence the important wording through the air, but Yasuo's windwall stops more than just things flying through the air, like Braum's ult which is literally a fissure in the ground, Nami's ult which is a wave and rolls over the ground, yet for some reason Nautilus ult does go through the windwall so riot is at best inconsistent with the windwall If anyone can PLEASE tell me if you know another basic skill that blocks 28 different Ults. This is undoubtedly broken and needs to be fixed, I know its an old topic but I don't think it has been properly addressed.

A projectile in game is defined as having a travel time, travel speed, and travel distance. There are few projectiles that are coded as units and are thus stopped from moving further but not destroyed (Olaf ax, Ori ball, Jhin and Teemo traps, etc.). Don't try to bring realistic physics into a fantasy themed game (biggest key word: GAME).

Also: Braum Fiora Fizz MasterYi Nocturne Sivir

This shit again?

Fine.

Also, just because something is an ultimate, doesn't mean it should get a special treatment. I mean, if it did, every champion would deal true damage, because how would you dare to mitigate or block the damage from an ultimate?

I feel that Yasuo's wall is a bit too lenient, he can throw it out late af and still block a projectile

tbh I think his shield should have a health bar

o also about the ult thing, Fiora

Morg and Braum both do not stop ults. Each of them block parts of ults but not the ult themselves. With Braum the 1st hit and only first hit on his shield will have the damage negated but does not stop cc. Morgana's SS does block cc and some magic damage but does not stop physical damage, Morgana can block some ults completely if they only do magic damage and don't do enough to break the shield but it is very rare. As for Noc and Sivir yes they can block ults but the timing has to be very good as the SS does not last long not the 4 seconds of yasuos Windwall. Makzahar just has a banshees viel so he does not choose what spell is blocks. Yi does not prevent ults he dodges them same as a flash dodge. Fizz also dodges but no different than popping a zonyas at the right time. As for Fiora, ya I got no argument her reposte is OP ya lol
