Notes


Airborne icon Airborne

EditA unit that is made airborne is moved in a specified direction or to a specific point. For the duration, the unit is also Stun icon stunned and cannot move, attack, cast abilities, activate items or use the summoner spells Flash Flash and Teleport Teleport.

Interrupts: Interrupts all channeled and charged abilities, as well as Anivia OriginalSquare Anivia's Glacial Storm Glacial Storm, all dash abilities and other airborne effects.
Reduction: Only the stun component duration is reduced by Tenacity icon Tenacity, which stacks multiplicatively. Forced movement's execution time remains unaffected.
Resist: Resisted by Morgana OriginalSquare Morgana's Black Shield Black Shield, Olaf OriginalSquare Olaf's Ragnarok Ragnarok, Fiora OriginalSquare Fiora's Riposte Riposte and Malzahar OriginalSquare Malzahar's Void Shift Void Shift, as well as dashes that grant immunity to disables.
Removal: The forced movement of airborne effects cannot be removed by cleansing effects. However, Quicksilver Sash item Quicksilver, Mikael's Crucible item Mikael's Crucible, Rengar OriginalSquare Rengar's Battle Roar 2 Battle Roar, Ragnarok Ragnarok, Gangplank OriginalSquare Gangplank's Remove Scurvy Remove Scurvy and Alistar OriginalSquare Alistar's Unbreakable Will Unbreakable Will can be used to remove the stun effect. Once the user is able to activate abilities: a dash or blink ability can be used to overrule the airborne. Note that Cleanse Cleanse, specifically, cannot be used to do this.
Countering Airborne CC

Countering Airborne CC

To expand upon the countering of airborne effects, consider that the effects are made up of two components: a movement modifier (called a "move block" by Riot, referring to a chunk of code) and a stun (which is responsible for the disabling attacking and casting). As a general rule, the most recent move block will over-rule any previous move blocks, which is how Alistar OriginalSquare Alistar's Headbutt Headbutt and Pulverize Pulverize combo functions. This rule also extends to all beneficial movement modifiers, such as dashes and blinks, which is why Rocket Grab Rocket Grab and Rocket Jump Rocket Jump will over-rule each other depending on their order of activation. Most beneficial movement modifiers do not prevent the activation of abilities, allowing Tristana OriginalSquare Tristana to still activate abilities during Rocket Jump Rocket Jump but not during Rocket Grab Rocket Grab.

  • Through the use of cleansing effects or tenacity, players can remove the stun and subsequently activate abilities such as Flash Flash or champion-specific dashes to break the airborne's move block.
    • Note that Cleanse Cleanse is special-cased to not remove the stunning effects, but is still available to cast. One or the other may be a bug.
  • In some instances, the stun duration is longer than the move block (e.g. Sion OriginalSquare Sion's Unstoppable Onslaught Unstoppable Onslaught), but in most cases they are the same duration. There have been cases in the past where the stun duration was shorter, but this usually lead to bug-like interactions and was later "fixed" (e.g. Azir OriginalSquare Azir's Emperor's Divide Emperor's Divide did not apply any stun at all in the initial charge on the ability, which allowed his enemies to use Flash/dash to supersede the charge's knockback and get over the wall).

Knock Aside

Knockback

Knockup

Pull

Blind icon Blind

EditA unit that is blinded will "Miss" their basic attacks, similar to when attacking a target with dodge. Missed attacks will fail to deal damage or apply on-hit effects, with the exception of Volibear OriginalSquare Volibear's Rolling Thunder Rolling Thunder and Hecarim OriginalSquare Hecarim's Devastating Charge Devastating Charge. Unlike Disarm icon Disarm, Blind does not prevent the unit from declaring attacks. Blind causes Graves OriginalSquare Graves' shotgun to fire pellets with a random spread, excluding the direction of his target.

Interrupts: Does not interrupt any abilities, but will prevent on-hit effects from being triggered. This does not waste the effects, however, and they will simply wait until a successful attack lands.
Reduction: The duration is reduced by Tenacity icon Tenacity, which stacks multiplicatively.
Resist: Resisted by Morgana OriginalSquare Morgana's Black Shield Black Shield, Olaf OriginalSquare Olaf's Ragnarok Ragnarok, Fiora OriginalSquare Fiora's Riposte Riposte and Malzahar OriginalSquare Malzahar's Void Shift Void Shift. Dashes that grant immunity to disables will ignore the effects of Blind for the duration of the dash, but the target will be affected upon landing if the disable duration permits.
Removal: Removed by Cleanse Cleanse, Quicksilver Sash item Quicksilver, Rengar OriginalSquare Rengar's Battle Roar 2 Battle Roar, Ragnarok Ragnarok, Gangplank OriginalSquare Gangplank's Remove Scurvy Remove Scurvy and Alistar OriginalSquare Alistar's Unbreakable Will Unbreakable Will.
  • Champions with blind: Teemo OriginalSquare Teemo.
  • Thornmail item Thornmail's passive deals magic damage before the damage is reduced by any effect, including blind. So it still applies if the target is blinded.
  • Blinded enemies will only miss if they attack while blinded; ranged units still hit if the projectile fires before the blind.
