How will gp, yas and trynd fair with new item changes? Heres my analysis

Gangplank Gangplank is currently running a 3 item power spike. item 3078 item 3142 item 3095 with steraks gage often making an appearance early in this burst meta as well. With the new Crit changes, if item 3031 is reverted, and the item 3046 and item 3095 (first version of change go through). Gp's power spike will move much farther late game . He currently spends 3733+2900+2800= 9433 gold to hit his respective highpoint. With the new Changes our pirate friend would have a 3733+3400+2800=9933 spike. 500 gold for swiching youmuus for ie. This leads to somewhat of a reversion to s7 gp, having a later power spike but not falling off, gp prefers ad over as, meaning the pd changes make him stronger. from here he is likely to go for item 3142 anditem 3036 as far as i can tell, switching one out for steraks if he needs it. He does lose cdr here however, which is big for gp, but coverable with boots. If they go for the second version of ie and stormrazor the build will stay the same if ahead and most likely change if behind, and frankly turn gp into somewhat of a hyper carry, he wouldnt use stormrazor because its 2nd passive iteration only works v champs (same reason he doesnt like muramana) but there are armor pen items to trade it for. Tryndamere I am less sure about, so dont get carried away flaming me. Trynd currently runs item 3046 anditem 3031 . My guess is he might swich out pd for item 3087 due to its 50% attackspeed in the post (didnt notice that at first but its pretty big) after that if the first ie is in he would go for that, giving him 65% crit, 50% attackspeed, 80 ad and the ie and stattik passives plus his own crit passive, which would put him right under 100% crit at max stacks. if the second items are take he might just rush item 3031 although its a defecit to his early game to go for such a rough build path and late item buy. I also think he would be likely to go for the 2nd item 3095 as it would make his first 3 autos give him plenty of ms and some bonus dmg to boot, letting him stick and kill very effectively. Yasuo seems to be the least secure here. he could go item 3087 item 3031 but would overcap hard on crit, which makes me think he migh just get item 3031 and accept the 80% crit chance. he could go item 3087 item 3094 or item 3087 item 3046 the first giving him no ad at all and rapid fire's passive, which he doesnt care for, and the second forcing him to slightly overcap crit, but giving him 20 ad at least and a nice passive. If they go with the second item 3031 he would rush that and be a powerhouse as soon as he finished it, going for ad and as after. As far as i can tell either item 3095 would be nice, but the second would be a lot better for the reasons it would be good on trynd. the first would give him some terrifying burst, and allow him to poke/trade in the mid game very well. come to think item 3087 item 3094 item 3095 v1 might be really good on him for all the dmg he could output on a single hit. I dont really play him tho so that should be noted here.

Tell me what yall think!!

Uh if new IE is going to give 50% crit rate then Yasuo will have 100% crit rate with just one item.

People are saying Yasuo getting over crit is bad but can you just fucking imagine being in a game where a Yasuo has 100% crit rate AND this build?

item 3031 item 3095 item 3071 item 3036 item 3142 or item 3147 item 3006

all he's going to have to do is fish for knock up and no matter who he hit, mage, adc, tank, their going to be fucking obliterated in one shot.

People say new IE will be bad on Yasuo because he can't manage crit on it properly.

People say it will be too good because it gives him 100% crit as the first item

You know what the real solution here is then?

FUCKING REMOVE YASUO'S DOUBLE CRIT PASSIVE ALREADY.

Wait, why is Yasuo getting 80% crit chance with shiv+1st itineration of IE?

I'm not getting it

to me it's 25%x2x2 = 100%

Also the 5k gold IE on yasuo is not as strong as people believe because he will lack of the attack speed he used to have in mid game to get 1.33 sec cd on Q

Im sorry but everyone hate theses champions, you wont find anything constructive on the board concerning crit melee adc and add yi to the addition, i suggest you to take the debat on reddit where their is much LESS CIRCLEJERKING than here. Also for what it take,yea as a yasuo main I would hate to buy my core item for 5K with a horrible build path 2BF and a zeal, that will stuck yasuo with beserker greaves and thats just bad, also the changes on PD is horrible for him as he dont have any early powerspyke + it loose the dmg reduction and the ms toward ennemies. Overall it feels like pretty bad in general, even the snowball on range adc would be a nitghtmare, imagine your adc trying to complete the 5K IE while the other already has it, its a shitty desing and i hope they dont go further with this Idea, id rather have this IE OR Previous IE with half the % bonus crit dmg 25% instead of the 50% seems legit.

Yas as a champion does not need 1 rapid fire and 2 storm razor. The reason why he doesn't need rapid fire ie because there is no need for it when pd is literally just a way better zeal item in him due to the dueling potential be has with pd and second stormrazor is absolutely worthless on a champion like Yas where the passive of stormrazor storms edge will not reset as well as him hitting 100% Crit. also to mention the fact that storms edge decreases yasuos Crit dmg output. Ie revert is good and bad since Crit in general has been wonky after the changes with the true dmg on ie but it is good for the fact that it had true dmg and makes it okay having the ie revert and another build path for it makes it insane for champions that can take full advantage of it and are ahead in the game to abuse it. Gp with his barrels that had armor pen is already insane comboed with second ie build path will be a complete beast and same goes for trynd. He already has built in Crit with increased dmg and making his mid to late game insane.

Yasuo Tryndamere Gangplank will be the next meta toxic nightmare.
