Riot, please rework Yasuo. It's only fair.

I think it's best for both sides. No one likes seeing their favourite champion get nerfed every other patch and permabanned for an entire season, and you refuse to hit his damage at any point to remove his ability to 1v5 when behind. I think it's only fair to say that Yasuo's kit has.... problems with it. As I believe you've stated before, having a champion who is a fighter/assassin hybrid is nigh impossible to balance. Add in the amount of utility he gets while being a lategame hypercarry and he becomes nigh unstoppable with the ability to kill tanks in time that rivals' Vayne's WITHOUT true damage.

I ask you, Riot, to look into Yasuo's kit and find what makes him strong, but remove all of the free stats he gets from his abilities and give him actual steroids.

One last thing. I would love for Yasuo players to not essentially have to make a rune page for 'just Yasuo". Please?

You forgot the "Signed - A player who has never touched Yasuo"

I've played Yasuo multiple times in normals in both top and mid, and it was hilarious how far behind I could get, only to have one or two items (and still be behind), but be incredibly useful in teamfights and be unduleable in splitpushes.

[search match history] Huh, that's funny, your entire match history has no Yasuo games whatsoever.

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt, you would have to be playing against 5-year-olds or the equivalent of 5-year-olds to actually be allowed to come back in mid-game as useful if you got shut down early. He has a mid-game power spike, but it's not as good as you're saying.
