I'm not an advocate of Yasuo mains, but that shouldn't be a thing.

Lux 's R is not a projectile. Yasuo 's W is already overpowered and doesn't need any buffs.

Correct

Wrong, correct

I mean, it's not a projectile but a beam, and technically Yasuo windwall only blocks projectiles so it's legit.

It's TECHNICALLY being projected from her staff.

It is projected, yes. It is not, however, a projectile. To "project" just means to emanate or extend from. A "projectile" is specifically a missile or object of some kind.

You're technically correct, but at the same time Yasuo W also doesn't block Xerath Q which behaves the same as Lux's R as in "it gets projected from him but it an instantly there AOE" so at least you can call this consistent, though I kinda feel it should block both of them for clarity reasons because as you say the technically get thrown out by those champions thereby pretty much fulfilling the definition of a projectile. Light may be fucking fast, but it still travels from a source and doesn't just appear out of nowhere, same with lightning.

windwall blocks projectiles

it's not a projectile. it's an aoe which does not travel , similar to Nasus's AOE and Chogath knockup

it just lasts a significantly shorter amount of time.

I actually hate both of these abilities.

Lux laser is not a projectile. It's a line AOE.

Ahri's Q is a Line AOE

VorpalKitsuneDec 19, 20182 votes

Line AOE projectile.... big difference.

RavenHuskyDec 19, 20181 votes

Ahri's Q is a boomerang projectile, as it travels along a set path, and goes back.

Lux's ult draws a line and hits the whole line simultaneously.

Also, Yasuo needs to be removed from the game.

Lux ult behaves the same way as xerath Q, her Q and E tho like xerath E are all blockable by windwall.

This is working as intended and is fine. Plus lux R is telegraphed and easy enough to dodge, especially if yasuo has enemies to E to.

Final Spark is considered a beam, not a projectile.

Other beams, such as Disintegration Ray and Arcanopulse, also go right through windwall.

ArsinikDec 19, 20182 votes

There used to be a pro tip that said windwall doesnt block beams or lazor type abilities.

EndlessSorcererDec 18, 20181 votes

Windwall blocks projectiles.

Lux's ultimate isn't a projectile.

FerrinovaDec 18, 20181 votes

Since when did light ever not penetrate wind? By that logic it should be super dark right now.

On her Q and E tbh

It is not a projectile and thus it does not get blocked

Irelia BotDec 18, 20181 votes

Think of it as something coming up from the ground and not as a projectile.

Burrowed Q

as a player who used to play RekSai .. before they ruined her, im pretty sure u mean her W unburrow...

her burrowed Q is most certainly a projectile...

Vel’Koz w does not go through windwall. Only his auto attacks and ultimate go through windwall.

sounds like adc vel koz hentai style is viable vs yasuo....

It just looked weird seeing Lux's R go through his windwall.

This entire video is relevant to this post, especially at 26-29 seconds in.

its actually a LASAH you cant stop LASAHS BRAH.

King LegoDec 20, 20181 votes

Yeah no.

Lux's R is a giant continuous laser that at any range it will cause damage. Same with Vel'Koz's R, Malzahar R and maybe even Karthus R.

As a Vel'Koz main, i remember getting flamed by an enemy Yasuo for not being able to block my R...I explained to him that the ww can't block lasers but he just went "idc you are reported".

That champion can really give players the illusion of invincibility and capability to auto 1v5.
