The Mini-Root on Lee Sin's Ult needs to go

Catastrop··9 votes·649 views

Seriously, why is this a thing? I'm trying to brush juke him but because he's trying to finish me off with his ult I end up getting into the brush and awkwardly stutter stepping. This went on for like 7 seconds before I finally just gave up and let him kill me because his Q's up already thanks to all the time he unwittingly bought and that's just something I don't have the energy to attempt to dodge after that fiasco.

The ability would be too unreliable to ever kick someone where you want them to go if the root were removed. So you can either leave the .25 second root to make up for the cast time or remove the cast time. Removing the cast time would make R flashes impossible but it would also give you even less time for potential shields and other life saving abilities. Which would you prefer?

Gods above, I'll stick with the root. Just thinking how retarded it would be with no cast time gives me shudders.

So you kited for 7 seconds and his Q came back up. What's that have to do with his ult?

"I skimmed your post and decided to pick out the most irrelevant point instead actually looking at what you said."

His ult mini-roots. Had it not been for that mini-root, I'd have juked his ult and went my way to freedom. Instead, I get outplayed by outplaying myself because of a piece of code and die miserably.

Your OP leaves out the part where he actually ults you.

So you're talking about it being coded as a targeted spell instead of a melee range aoe? Kind of like how you can mash all your movement buttons and still die to a Garen ulti 1200 units away from him?

"I end up getting into the brush and awkwardly stutter stepping"

No, I'm talking about it being a targetted spell that roots on cast. Cho'Gath's Feast doesn't root you does it? Same goes for Garen's ult. Also, these very spells can be cancelled by getting out their field of vision just as the cast is going off, I did the same to Lee but even though I got out just in time, I still ended up being rooted for a half second "just cuz."

Lee needs hard-nerfs.

I wish we had NMST in direct power like we did in the old days...

Its there to make the ability reliable as well as to prevent weird interactions from happening when he ults you.

so you got shit on and now you're complaining about something entirely irrelevant to the reason you got killed?

OK

It's like no one reads.

I don't really care much, but something that makes me furious is he can flash mid-animation to change the direction, but we can't. Change THAT and I can handle the rest of his bullshit overloaded kit.

And next time I will have better luck, because I'll at least know not to try and brush juke his ult again.
