If Lee Sin can't punt corpses, that hurts his R both gameplay-wise and thematically. You want your projectiles to operate reliably without carefully weighing how much HP they have left, and you can't deny a lot of players would enjoy kicking corpses into other enemies to make more corpses.

It might've just been me, but that was hilarious.

It was also a few weeks ago, before this patch... I'd be highly amused if anyone could reproduce it, but I kinda doubt it. Was probably just a freak co-incidence.
I've seen that before. But I was playing with 4 Brazil players so communication was non-existant and I couldn't really share that enjoyment with anyone in the game. But regardless our Mordekaiser (of course) was hit up by several knockups simultaneously. He was up in the air for at least 6-8 seconds or so and when he finally started coming back down he had this fast running animation as he was slowly floating towards the ground. Hilarious. Enemy team was so confused, it basically saved his life.

A question though.

I thought that Alistar's headbutt would wallstun someone flush against a wall for up to a full second. This allowed for the headbutt wallstun autoattack pulverize autoattack inescapable combo. The extra autoattack inbetween CCs, not to mention his passive trample damage, was a bit part of his combo. Would this still be possible with a flat 0.5s stun?
I just tested this. You headbutt, get your auto attack off (auto attack animation is < 0.5 sec), then you knockup into the air (1.0 sec stun), during which you get to do your 2nd auto-attack.

This means you should get your full combo off.

Thanks for the updates Xelnath.
Just to be sure... displacement moves (signally knockups) are still unaffected by Tenacity and CC reduction masteries and abilities, or this got changed?

That sounds great! Thanks for checking.

Knockups are currently unchanged by tenacity, but I did add support for us to enable Tenacity to work on them in the future.

We debated about this internally and decided to leave it disabled for now. However, we may try it out in the future on PBE with the new loss of control UI or if knockup stacking comps start dominating.

Speaking of knock ups and displacements effects is there any chance that the Xerath buff where he is immune to displacement in locus of power is in development or at least in thought. This was discussed in a thread awhile back with morello.
