@Riot The state of Yasuo and plans for him?

It would be cool if a rioter could comment on this and maybe give me some insight, but as a long-time Yasuo main I'm pretty concerned for the future of my champ. I love Yasuo's kit, and I honestly think he is in a good place right now. But it would seem that more and more the community is calling for re-evaluation of his kit, nerfs, rework, etc. I guess I'm just curious as to what Riot thinks of Yasuo's current state, and whether they are happy with how he is or if he will be given a 2nd look and possibly nerfed, or even reworked in a Fighter update a la the mage/assassin updates. I've always kind of felt the mantra of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applied well to league champs, and I'm just hoping Riot doesn't decide to gut Yasuo simply because people in the community call for it.

Personally I hope they continue to push him towards his squishy juke fighting style instead of his tanky but also hypermobile fighting style.

He's balanced around the former and becomes broken with the latter.

Yasuo's not going anywhere. Riot likes Yasuo and thinks his kit is healthy. And as long as Yasuo remains largely absent in high elo and LCS, it's going to stay that way. I don't see any changes that suddenly thrust Yasuo into the spotlight in either realm. short of removing exhaust from the game which I doubt is going to happen.
