Seems that aura-ish ability in the preview will probably be whats keeping her immune to cc or whatever it does. Hopefully they have a plan to help keep it in check a bit, I'd hate for it to take months to fix if it does become an issue. Or it won't be, like xin's ult, who knows.
External link →I don't want to get into too many specifics, but her Hallowed Mist essentially provides her with an area of safety from enemies outside it. She plays around it a little like Wind Wall, protecting her from enemies outside it, but if they cross the threshold, they're in there with her able to fight.
She's not designed to fight ranged champions; her target access isn't that great. She just wants some safety while she snips up the frontline.
So this is the real AP Xin Zhao everyone was talking about lately...
:^)
:^D
Bit confused how she will deal with fighters that 100-0's squishies in one rotation, supposedly she's squishy too. Looking forward to the kit regardless
She's got a few in built defenses that will help her out, but getting bursted is definitely a weakness of hers.

Why not? Gotta wait till the official ability reveal?

That seems more like Xins ult than wind wall.
Is there a plan in place for if it becomes an issue? I'd be more willing to be optimistic if I knew we wouldn't have to wait months for it to be taken care of if it turns out to be an issue.
Yeah, I want to give the comms team time to roll out their stuff. They make a lot of awesome things and I don't want to scoop them.
The mechanics of the zone are more similar to Xin ult, but where he has the tools to dive on you and lock you down, Gwen is much worse about being able to choose her fights. Gwen is still very dangerous in melee range, so it plays a little bit more like fighting against yasuo where he's protecting himself from a fight but can definitely fight you if you try and go in on him.
Sucks that you moved away from the champions team. Lillia is such a unique take on a jungler and Gwen looks interesting from the looks of it.
Well... I may be coming back shortly :D
My guess is it just "morde ults" herself in the shadow? So skillshots/projectiles stemming from outside the mist aren't interacting with her but spawning from inside the mist they are.
Localized Morde ult was the first implementation of that ability :D
