Why Are Knockup Abilities So Powerful? | League of Legends

Knockups are just the true damage of crowd control abilities.

Thing is if your unstoppable and get stuned,
Your still stuned.
But if you get knocked up that cc just varnishes

Yo GRAS DE NUNU IN THE VIDEO, POGGEEERS 🇫🇷🍾

I actually knew this as a GP main. If you time it right your can w flash out of a knock up

I remember time when kalista passive was coded as displacement. So you could cancel Leesin R with passive or cancel Bliz Q in the same way as ezreal does.

Tldr: riot created a super cc type you cant realistically impact with clense or tenacity, then started playing favorites...
>.>.... Yone

champion size should work as tenacity for knockups, change my mind

i trully love these videos 🙏

As a Rell main, displacement is my closest friend and worst enemy.

so much learning in this vid, damn, huge props I've been playin a while and thought ik quite a bit

The reason knock ups are so strong is because they apply a hard CC to you for about 18+ years

This whole video is basically an explanation of why i loved old(pre rework) volibear E with the knockback and i still miss it, it made him feel so nicr

so i know this innately will get me insulted but in smite, they have puri beads instead of cleanse. and it makes you immune to all CC for 2 seconds, if you time it correctly on incoming knock ups you can immune them. it to me is a much better system. it’s like cleanse but much better, honestly all summoner spells feel quite weak in league compared to smite equivalents.

Maaaaan voiceeeeeeee upppppp I barely even heard you 😭

I don't think it was mentioned, but illaoi ult technically knocks her up. Making it possible to dodge cc with it.

You talking about how awesome Thresh is. Plus the update to support items with the new season. Has me thinking of switching back to Sup from ADC.

Cripple is insane in my opinion the name of it😭

Third best cc in the game. There are two better forms of cc. Death and Brazil

I think knockups being the way they are is mainly so champions kits don't seem awkward. Imagine Vi if tenacity affected her R and enemies were CCed less time than she was. It would be like what happened to Renekton W when they changed the duration and animation length at the same time. Or how much longer Yasuo's Q3 would have to last just so he'd be functional in a solo lane.

I had no idea the vast majority of these interactions with knockups existed.

I don't think the QSS / cleansing of the stun portion works anymore. It just disables your item during the knock up duration and only after the airborne can you cleanse or QSS the stun.

I believe items like QSS no longer cleanse knock ups since season 11. Only Gangplank q and, not sure, but maybe also rengar w.

What high noon cinematic is that from??

My favorite Knockup ability is Gragas's Body Slam : ]

Cinematic Nautilus: His E is a WMD.

Gameplay: It does 20 damage and kinda slows or something.

Also any knock up gives you built in synergy with two extremely popular hypercarries: Yasuo and Samira.

Stevie emerson😊

This reminds me about that Jarvan E Q cancel Poppy ult

knockup have no counterplay since tenecity doesn´t work on them and that makes it op to me

Vandiril got mentioned: WTF IS A GAME WITHOUT BUGS 🦅🦅🦅

Because it's not affected by Tenacity or Cleanse,simply

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.

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.

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.

"Why uncleansable stuns are op. 14 minutes explanation"

Silence is best because it anti-yap

The best Knock-up is the one a gave your mum

Knock up abilities are super strong because they result in 18-20 years of child support

I disagree, clearly the best type of CC is getting kicked out of the game for any reason. Weither you (somehow) got banned, or your wifi is conspiring agenst you.

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.

Very good video, I love all of the examples in the video alongside accompanying gameplay. Each video keeps getting better and better

I would like to file a complaint with your manager. Where was the Thresh slap knocking Pyke out of his ult?

Who else is here watching the full video dispute already knowing too much about this game to learn anything 😅

TLDR without even watching the video: its hard CC that stops all enemy actions and is also impossible to reduce or remove.
As a bonus, yasuo can ult you.

brother there is more ads on yt than on porn sites

Another one is draven knockback
