Why Can't Azir Block Malphite Ult With R?

Virgin Ray··2 votes·1,471 views

I get that it's "unstoppable" but the whole point of an Azir ult is to either push enemies to your team or disengage a terrifying wombo combo. Right now, you can only ult after getting wombo comboed. Meaning your ult is useless already because you are probably the only champ alive on your team.Azir players should be rewarded for fast reflexes on blocking a super fast Malphite ult.

Azir players are rewarded enough with their idiotic kit. Ban malphite, flash away from his ult, don't allow him to ult your entire team.. Problem solved.

don't allow him to ult your entire team

Which is why Azir ult should block Malphite ult.

what part of "unstoppable" dont you understand?

I'm saying it shouldn't be unstoppable for Azir ult. If not, it shouldn't be unstoppable at all.

Azir's ulti explicitly prevents dashed.

Malphite's ulti is explicitly immune to being stopped in any way, shape, or form.

Basically it boils down to which 'rule' is more explicit. Azir has a clause of "Prevents all dashes", which means dashes. Things like Lucian E, Lee Q / W, and various other dashes which can be prevented in other ways or do not have any specific protection. Malphite's ulti, on the other hand, is a dash which explicitly mentions that it's immune to any effect which would stop it. It has the more specific permission, so it takes precedence.

Basically look at True Damage and its interactions with immunities. True damage says it cannot be be mitigated, reduced, or avoided... But abilities which explicitly state that they prevent all damage (Fiora's parry, Kayle ulti) have a more specific ruling in that they prevent all damage for the duration.
