Knock-ups?

Seenan·Jan 11, 2016·1 votes·226 views

Do they seem to be a bit strong for being uncounterable (besides dodging) and being un-reduceable? Suspensions like Yasuo ult can be QSS'd iirc, but knockups...There's no tenacity or Mercurial that can do anything about it. Theoretically if any knockup happens, a team can chain them together and all you'll see is Jinx floating in the air for 4 seconds while being more than dead (especially if one of the knockups is Malphite, which it probably is).

I believe that's one of the reasons Malphite is so strong lately (and AP Malph always strong), his ult can't be countered besides by him messing up or you dashing/flashing/?? as pure reflex or luck. Not like it's a high cd when he gets FH/Frostfist either.

The way you phrased this is weird.

What other way could you counter any ability that causes CC other than dodging or using some Merc item.

No, the only way you can avoid it is by dodging it (not too often an option vs Alistar that knows how to combo and the like) but sometimes it's not an option and in that sense, you can't reduce it by Tenacity or whatever else. You're just floating in the air, free to take as many ults as possible (if the knockup wasn't your ult).

No, not knock ups, every other CC.

"The only counterplay to knock ups is dodging" implies there are other forms of counterplay (other than a Merc item) towards there forms of CC.

You just phrased it weird. Did you mean to imply that there's more to counterplay than dodging the ability itself?

Wh..at? I meant there's no real counterplay besides outright dodging for knockup abilities...Since none of them are targetted. They're all aoe skillshots for the most part. Meanwhile, you can QSS suspensions/suppressions/stuns/?? or cleanse stuns/slows/??
