Why Are Knockup Abilities So Powerful? | League of Legends

Ойындар

Out of all the types of crowd control present in the game, Knockups are known to be exceptionally strong for their inability to be mitigated via conventional means such as Tenacity. For today's mechanics discussion we'll be looking at Knockup abilities to see what exactly makes them so strong.

Her q is such a good tool to catch enemies off guard and is especially good with a yasuo.

    But you can't QSS + flash (or any movement ability) to escape a knockup anymore since season 10 (10.23). Which sucks because, as Vars pointed out, it was a really cool mechanic that required knowledge and skill (+ you'd have to use both an item active AND a spell, or worse your flash, meaning it's a fair trade off imo).

    The thing is tenacity many seasons ago had knock up added, then they changed some of the status effects to change almost all knock-up to airborne. This effectively removed the knock up condition reverting the change they made to tenacity. It was like when polymorph was it's own status, then they just made it the combination of 3 effects instead of one single status. This simplified rare status effects, such as polymorph only being on lulu, reduce the many keywords with similar effects. technically tenacity still does reduce knock up, but since almost every knock up ability was changed to have two status effects, stun and airborne it made this irrelevant. It is funny how the fact at one point tenacity did affect knock up (but not knock back) was never brought up, but maybe because it has long since changed again.

    One extra interaction that's not super important but still cool: knock-ups are slightly worse against champions with on-demand Unstoppable like Ornn or Udyr because if they can unstoppable the initial knock-up they dodge the entire cc. This is unlike with roots or stuns like dark binding which still hit them and cc them for the remainder of the duration after the unstoppable wears off.

    IDK if it works on PC LoL, but at least on wild rift if you time something correctly (easiest ones to pull off are kass r and ez e, but I've seen a cait accidentally pull it off with her e, but it's generally harder to do with dashes), you can cleanse the knockup. For example, if you see a malphite ulting towards you and just use ult as kass, and the malph ult hits you during the 0.25 second cast time, then after the cast time finishes you still teleport to your target location, with the knockup being no longer applied to you after it goes off (you're still knocked up for the fraction of a second between the knockup hitting you and the blink going off though, but after the blink goes off you're no longer knocked up). This applies to all knockups, not just forced movement ones like blitz hook (although it does apply to hooks too)

    They are reliable cc - what more is there to discuss? Forms of cc that can be easily negated (or at least mitigated in duration to the point of becoming ineffective) can never be a reason for a champions strength... it is too easy to take that strength away from them. But with reliable forms of cc, such as a knock-up, you know that you can always at least play stun-bot for your team. Even Leona, who has a LOT of cc, is less effective at cc in 4v4/5v5 team fights relative to Cho'Gath - Cho has a ranged AoE knock-up, but Leona might walk into a ton of Tenacity and do very little. Especially now that the rune page perks are changed, unreliable cc is now considerably worse. Champions will often be starting the game with a fair amount of Tenacity... sometimes the entire opposing team will. The value of knock-ups in that environment is going to be a bit higher than before.

    not true, for me unreliable cc is cc that is hard to use, not cc that can be mitagated by tenacity as the only reliable source of tenacity is legend tenacity, mini tenacity rune and merc treads, unrealiable cc is things like yasuo 3rd Q, zerath stun or taric stun, or the most emblemitic gragas ult, eventhough its a knock back it might as well be just an aoe nuke with a ministun as you cannot guarateed the direction of the knock back at all, even though leona only has a lot of stuns it's not as if adcs want to run merc treads and legend tenacity just because they are against a leona, also cho gath stun is another very unreliable CC, hitting that shit is almost impossible, it's good follow up if someone gets locked down, but counting on hitting it to start a fight i would say leona is better 90% of the time for that

    You kind of mentioned it by showing janna’s q but I think you can stress specifically how defensively broken linear projectile knockups are against dashes. Any offensive dash will go from the enemy to the target in a straight line. So you don’t even need to precisely guess the timing of the dash: the dasher and the projectile path will necessarily intersect along the way. So the Time window for the cast is (travel time projectile + dash travel time). Even against the fastest dash possible the time window is at least the travel Time of the projectile. That’s why cho’s q or nautiles R function almost just like stuns : you can’t effectively use them as dash canceling nor dash negating abîlities. If you want to use Cho’s q the time window is (size of q / speed of dash)

    Riot removed QSS flash in 10.23 a sad day. I don't know why they did this too. (I'm also confused why some outdated mechanics were mentioned) also yasuo's ult used to be coded as an airborn suspension not a knock up (so before you could qss yasuo r, as long as you did it after he teleported to you if you did it to early it wouldn't work) i think they changed it when they made all of the adjustments to knockups for tenacity then never went through with the changes in preseason 10.

    Not too relevant but, my favorite Blitz counter is Neeko. W can get grabbed by his hook, but the real treat is from hitting level 6. You put yourself in an easily hooked spot, wait for him to fire, then ult. Now you’re ulting right on top of him. He will be very hesitant to hook you after you hit that a few times.

    I feel like most people how play league for at least fews seasons already know exactly why. It would be nice if there something in game that can counter knock up that not just some ability like Illaoi's R. May be more HP, tenacity, or character size will make champion heavier and make knock up or knock back on them less effective them.

    well. in my humble opinion. currently we have way to many knockups im ok with displacement as such as blitz hook poppy ult. but the amount of straight up being knocked up for a long time feels off. there is a counter to it granted you have a buffer mechanic in your kit. but otherwise. what are you suppose to do. if they have sion gragas yasuo nami. ? you will be airborn for the entire duration.

    I remember fighting a team that had over 5 knockups once...with a yasuo. Never have I ever wished I was playing Olaf more than that game. I genuinely think they should give knockups the "kennen" treatment, where after the first one, any knockups within, idk, 5 seconds (?) have .5 duration. It's just so unfun when you're a 10/0 5k hp raidboss nasus, volibear, etc., but you try to do anything with your team and are cc'd for 10+ seconds in a 15 second fight, with tenacity doing nothing to help. It'd be one thing if most knockups were single target. I'd be fine with that. But for some reason 90% of them are AoE? I genuinely don't understand why they have such preferred treatment like that. Then you add in champs like Alistar with his essentially target knockup, and Rek sai with a right click-knockup into oneshot, and nobody gets to have fun. That being said, Thresh is one of my favorite champions in the game, so idk how much I can really complain.

    I'd be more fine with knock ups if they weren't so universal, easy, and usually AOE. I wanna believe poppy's ult and later, bards ult was an experiment on new knock up designs, making the target untargetable and whatnot. There just isn't much gameplay to "True CC in an aoe with no restrictions" But they stay not cuz they're balanced, but because people like them. It's fun to win after all.
