Redefine "Airborne" for Yasuo

He ults of friken EVERYTHING! Ults of Tristana's jump, Kalista's dash, Riven's third Q, and anything else that shows the animation as anything involving jumping, which is pretty dumb. In addition to this, he ults of ANY sort of displacement that his team can dish out. If Rammus rams into an enemy, the tiny little knockback from that, is enough for a yasuo ult. The things like Rammus I can live with, the things like Yasuo being able to ult off of Tristana's rocket jump I can't. It's just stupid. There is no y axis, and if it makes a y axis for Yasuo, then why can't Tristana, for example, jump over a caitlyn trap.

I'm curious, does it work on Lucian and Graves dash?

It doesn't. They technically don't even leave the ground and would be highly OP if he could ult off of that.

It does not work on any movement caused by the intended target, or Tristana in particular would be royally screwed. The displacement has to be caused by Yasuo's team, but that's as specific as it gets. ALL displacement effects are "Airborne" enough for Yasuo to ult them. This includes everything from Thresh's Death Sentence and Flay all the way to Alistar's Pulverize. Anything defined as a pull, knockup, knockback, or Nami's bubble fits the current criteria for Yasuo's ult.

"We actually playtested a version where Yasuo could grab enemy champions who leapt out of the air with his ult. It seemed cool on paper. In practice, I, who was playing Yasuo, spent the entire post-6 laning phase mashing the R button while RiotFan, sitting next to me playing Jax, refused to ever once use his Leap Strike. Jerk." -CertainlyT 2013

In other words, no, it does not work to grab an enemy Tristana out of the air when she tries to Rocket Jump away. If you're experiencing that now, it is most definitely a bug.
