@Meddler: Why doesn't Kalista's ultimate inflict Fear instead of a knockup?

darkdill··2 votes·311 views

It seems like Fear, Taunt, and other similar crowd controls are simply not used anymore in favor of the generic knock-up or knock-back. Even when a Fear would've been more thematically correct for Kalista's ultimate, you went with the knock-up effect.

Why is that? Are Fears and Taunts simply "bad gameplay" crowd controls?

Because her passive is and Rend stacks are already scary enough.

Knock ups have a higher power budget.

Meaning if it were to be replaced by another type of CC, it would have to be much longer. (I remember a Riot post saying a .5 second knock up was equal to roughly 1.75 second stun/fear.)

Because of Tenacity and cleansing effects?

Zoe's Sleep effect bypasses Morgana's shield, and can't be cleansed with Mikael's? No, Riot. NO.
