Can we make Yasuo's Wind Wall breakable?

Because, as amusing as it is, I want my 5/0 ADC (that I have spent the past 15 minutes protecting and feeding) to be able to do something other than play "ring-around-the Wind-Wall" with a low health Yasuo until he stacks up enough Q's to kill them.

I don't care it has 2000 health, and its health refreshes after not taking damage for 0.5 seconds. A champion shouldn't be able no-sell an most of a team by pressing W.

EDIT: I have seen a lot of people saying that you can't break wind. I would like to remind these people that wind cannot usually annihilate things that come into contact with it... unless it's dense enough to form a black hole, in which case you have other, more important things to be worrying about.

EDIT 2: Tornadoes, Hurricanes and the like fo not annihilate things, they throw things around violently.

i dont get why braums and actual support breaks after the first hit, yet yasuo can block for the entire duration

why cant your adc just accept that hes not going to 1v1 that yasuo and just kite back away from the wall where the yasuo isnt protected?

yes, the guy probably looked like a very juicy kill on 100 health or however low the amount was. but one of the most important things for beginners to learn in this game is to accept that sometimes people get away on low health and let them go. instead of chasing after them like a mindless drone, or trying to duel a yasuo 1v1 as a ranged champion around his windwall.

I would like to add that I break wind all the time

He can ruin entire compositions with a good W, and win a team fight with it, easily.

I think that there are other issues with his wind wall rather than it needing to be breakable.

The fact that he can use it very late and still block projectiles as it spawns from the center of Yasuo. Sometimes, even at certain points you can use it last second pointed in the wrong direction from you and it will still block things is a little bit bogus. Also in order to remove the effects of Windwall you either need to cross the threshold of it and essentially putting yourself in a position to be dashed through to the other side or wait it out and hope that he's not so low he's just going to run.

There's also points with the windwall that seem to block projectiles that it shouldn't.

The biggest issues I have with Yasuo is that even if you do outskill him, his kit is loaded enough that he can make up for it...

If I land CC on him as he lands his Q on me. My CC can end after I've gotten back to the ground, but he still has time to ult me. This isn't really fair as I should be rewarded heavily for landing CC on him, especially during his combo. This isn't a one off thing this is something that happens frequently.

If you and your fed adc get killed by a low hp Yasuo in the time of a windwall the problem is yours.

its technically broken if you walk through it or move to the side of it tbh

it should not be that wide. it should not last that long and it should only block from one direction to punish yasuos that can't aim a wall correctly

I want this just for "breaking wind" jokes.

As someone who likes to play Nami I despise that he can stop my whole ult with a basic ability

I love when you try to last hit under turet and he puts his wall between turet and minions...I love it so much ,that i want to break my keybord.

Honestly the whole problem with Windwall is that it's the most anti-fun ability in the game right now. Whatever counterplay the yasuo mains say works it isn't fun to play against at all. He's the most toxic champ in the game because of this one ability being put into HIS kit.

Would be good to change it from a 1 point wonder.

How about it can only block things that it it from the front?

Nobody has had a problem with Yasuo's wind wall for the past 2 years, now everybody's crying about how it's op. L2p.
