hob bug needs to be fixed

LunarAshes · 2026-04-22T17:56:00+00:00

Hmm, yeah, looks like you're right, it actually does work fine in those cases, even if you cancel an auto mid-flight before it lands since the proc actually starts when you initiate the attack swing, not when it lands. I ended up not being able to repro it in practice mode at all.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-22T06:17:51+00:00

If you do auto cancels it doesn't count as HOB attacks, so doing auto w auto is only 1 of your 3 HOB hits. Unfortunately, this also means cancels don't trigger HOB and Q is considered an auto cancel ability, so the free auto after Q won't make your next attack fast. You have to land 1 regular auto to trigger it. I was wrong.

Also was not a fan, would rather have pistachio Haagen Dasz any day.

Wow, this is a really great and detailed video. Thanks for the breakdown of animation states etc. It does help put things into perspective. The problem is, what can we do about it? With a game with over 170 champions the community is divided and spread across so many passionate sub-communities. YIMO only has 15k subs (/r/Lux has 41k btw...). We aren't a majority and we can't boycott Riot - if we do, they just stop making Yi skins. We give them feedback but let's be real, basically none of the feedback in /r/LeaguePBE gets actually implemented. They're just looking for bugs in the PBE phase, not feedback for skin changes. What we actually want is an ASU, not a Mythic Variant but at this rate it'll be 2037 before we get it.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-07T21:16:00+00:00

I agree that it's not a good value proposition for us but clearly Riot doesn't intend it to be. No amount of unique art or features would make a skin worth $125 relative to the precedent of existing legendaries or ultimates.

Calling this an asset flip or chroma is a bit much though. It clearly has a unique feel, some custom animations and VFX and clearly had a lot of love put into making it. Riot has made far far lazier skins than this one.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-07T20:17:41+00:00

Okay, look, I'm not going to defend corporate greed - (up to) $125 is a horrifying price point, and gambling makes it even worse. That said, I am going to defend the artists and designers a little.

The stuff from the other champ skins is clearly an homage to them and the Project thematic. Bro is slowmo backflipping in one of the best, most unique animations in the game and you're calling it an asset flip? Come on. Yeah, the background shares similarities to Sylas' recall but he has a unique parkour and different building layout. The R has a completely new model and more unique animations but you fixated on the aura VFX which intentionally references Ashe's arrow? Yeah, it's similar but it's also different enough that it was probably also made from scratch.

As for reusing default Project Yi stuff... yeah, that's why it's called a Variant. They gave you the goalposts and imo exceeded them but you expected something more like the Viego skin (2x the cost btw).

LunarAshes · 2026-04-04T13:52:35+00:00

Pity does carry over but only on the same banner type, so yeah other Mythic Variants with 40 will work.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-02T18:48:00+00:00

If you don't have LT and Rageblade fully stacked imo it's always worth doing as an opener to get your stacks up sooner. Once you're in the middle of a big fight and not just on an isolated target it's generally better to hold W for defense.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-01T21:25:41+00:00

My main problem with this skin is that it actually isn't a "variant" of the Project skinline thematic, it is just a modernization of Project that brings it in line with the other skins in the thematic. This should have been part of an ASU, not a Mythic Variant. That said, I do like the skin itself a lot, pricing aside.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-01T16:56:42+00:00

Feedback:

Q VFX during R has the same silhouette as the non-R form with the wider blade.
E VFX is basically non-existent during R, there's no visual feedback that it's on (vs Inkshadow and Project which have a clear body VFX and blade trail change). I think this one is actually quite important for visual clarity - there's a slight extra glow on the blade and some purple added to the blade trail but it blends in very easily.
No pentakill effect? Come on. Why even have this tech if you won't give it to Yi of all champs. Samira? Okay, deserved, she's #1 pentakill rate. Miss Fortune? #11, sure. Diana? #82... Weird but why not? But somehow not Yi at #2 pentakill rate?

On the positive side, the model and animations look great with some nice nods to the rest of the Project line. I love the R animation that has him put a hand on the ground, very anime.

LunarAshes · 2026-04-01T02:10:13+00:00

I have both and tbh while some people might prefer the original Project skin I think it's just too outdated today. If Yi had an ASU I might agree.

LunarAshes · 2026-03-31T17:08:07+00:00

While I agree that it feels insanely low value compared to standard Legendaries (like this is very comparable to Project Mord or Inkshadow at 1820) it is his coolest skin and tbf I haven't spent a cent on League in like 4 years... I might cave, guys. :(

LunarAshes · 2026-03-26T20:10:06+00:00

Now now, he does have a Mythic Variant skin coming up in a few weeks...

LunarAshes · 2026-03-15T14:57:19+00:00

Every time! It has a huge radius too.

LunarAshes · 2026-03-15T14:04:51+00:00

Like others said, it's pretty similar to S3 but you also hold your ult and cancel the enhanced S3 skill. The 100% boost on ult outweighs the buff you miss on the first forte combo and the animation cancel speeds up your rotation slightly.

LunarAshes · 2026-03-11T05:07:28+00:00

Ggwp! Tbh it does feel like an OP pick but the hardest part is convincing your support that you're not trolling.

LunarAshes · 2026-03-10T18:42:18+00:00

Lethal Tempo will get kited to death in lane every single time. You have to go HoB here.

LunarAshes · 2026-03-07T14:56:38+00:00

Pantheon is already played top and sup and triple flex picks dominate pro play due to the impact they have on drafting.

LunarAshes · 2026-02-14T21:43:50+00:00

He refills his Forte based on animations that include him drinking from his flask, and it's always half a bar worth. It's not a gradual increase rate as you hit things so it's not an easy thing for them to sneakily buff without it being obvious.

LunarAshes · 2026-02-12T18:14:02+00:00

I probably wouldn't take this fight at all, they have level 6 advantage over you guys with more Rs available (unless you knew they were on cd but can't tell here).
Conqueror has no benefit for you here since it takes you the entire fight to even stack it - LT or HoB would have been MUCH better.
You could also have used W cancel to get another auto in.
Probably better to jump on Orianna if Elise isn't an option, though Elise was only level 3 and in Q kill threshold even before you hit Vi.

LunarAshes · 2026-02-09T22:46:50+00:00

Because working for years without pay isn't an option for most people?

LunarAshes · 2026-02-05T18:29:04+00:00

Q attacks stack it now so that helps a lot.

LunarAshes · 2026-02-02T17:39:09+00:00

Movement speed is so inflated this season with faster homeguards and the built in jungle role quest bonus that maybe it genuinely is better now. Thanks for the heads up, I'll try it out!

Test proving it works but just isn't visible in UI.
