Yasuo deserve some buffs

PROJECT Alune·Jun 26, 2016·3 votes·952 views

I think Yasuo should gain MR per level. It feels pretty bad to be melee and suffer the same penalties as ranged champions.

I also think Yasuo should have his MS increased from 345 to 350. He's supposed to be fast, I think that's a main point of the champion. A small ms buff would be nice.

Additionally, I could see a small buff to his HP. I know he suffered a big loss in HP during a patch a long time ago. I wonder if players now are better at dealing with Yasuo, and that the nerf was perhaps a bit too rough. I think that's the case.

I long for days when I can see Yasuo alongside Irelia and Jax in LCS. I don't see him at all and it's pretty sad because he's such a unique and cool champion. I think some small buffs would encourage more pro players to practise him and bring him to the LCS.

You have to be trolling.

He doesn't need MR due to his passive shield and windwall. Increase his MS?! He is one of the most mobile champs in the game. He has unlimited dashes when minions are around. HP Buff?! He has a free shield that reduces a lot of damage since it's almost always up due to his mobility.

Yas is still played in LCS. You don't see him much anymore because teams are forced to hard focus him and it's really hard for him to get ahead because of that, not due to any weakness in his kit. Which by the way, he doesn't really have since his kit has a counter for literally every champ in the game.

His shield is a, one hit and it fades thing. An auto attack brings it down, which is unlike most shields. That, though, does not correlate with him not being given mr. Yes he needs mr, ever since the mage update, the power behind mages is beyond broken. His mobility isn't really that big of an issue, if you have any skill with your champion. Considering most champions have a form of cc which completely counter Yasuo, a little mr isn't that much an asking point.

Okay again yes he needs health he has like 1600 max health potential all game, most champions can half that with a single skill mid to late game. He isn't the only mobile champions. So why should he be the only one taking the hit in hp and mr?

He isn't played because he is so easily countered. Nearly 90% if not more champions have a form of cc in this game, and with little to no tenacity nor counter to cc he becomes useless against hard cc teams, which are played half the time.

MR is for mitigating damage. Yas already has a free passive to do that. Yes an AA can take it down, but that gives the Yas player a window to dodge the follow up, resulting in no damage at all.

Once again, his effective health is much higher due to his shield, his dashes to avoid damage altogether, and his WW which is basically a second ultimate in his kit. His WW can completely negate some entire team comps. That is why his base health is low, he hardly ever takes damage to begin with if he is competent at all.

Yas isn't played because pro teams have the coordination necessary to deal with him. I guarantee that a week doesn't go by that they don't practice facing a Yas. If you don't have a pre-made smart team, Yas is unstoppable with a good player. There is an article floating around that goes in depth on Yasou. It basically proves that the only weakness Yas really has is the skill of the player.

Again his shield is a one hit shield. It doesn't mitigate any damage. AA it and then kitting makes it utterly useless and doesn't account for the mr. It really don't give them any windows. Yes his shield took the hit, but it doesn't give Yasuo any window. using AA isn't going to slow other champions from kitting him to death.

Again an aaable shield doesn't cover for champions who can take half of his health in damage with one q. Simply aa then q and get the same result. His ww is only for projectiles. That doesn't cover him enough to say he can have low health. He takes a lot of damage. In fact he is one of the only fighters who can't go straight up into a team fight and engage. His ww has high cooldowns and is stationary. People can just walk through it and boom ur in the same position as you were before the wall.

He isn't played because the only coordination necessary are cc champions(nearly 90% of champions having a form of it). There isn't any tenacity in game nor a way to counter hard cc. Yes Yasuo is unstoppable with a good player, just like every other champion. But on an equal level he falls short. Most champions counter him, can hit just as hard as him, plus have higher defensive stats. That article sounds completely stupid considering i have 650K+ exp with Yasuo and know well that near everyone counters him.

It is actually a 1 second shield, so it can absorb more than one hit. If you get kited as Yas, you should probably start playing a different champ since he is very hard to kite due to his dashes.

If someone who uses projectiles walks thru the WW, they are now dead since Yas can shred them at close range.

No tenacity in the game? I guess you don't know about masteries or item 3111 Besides, hard CC works on EVERY single champion in the entire game. So that isn't a valid point. Most champions counter him? I am finding it really hard to believe that you have that much xp on Yas. He currently has a 55% win rate in high elo for mains. I think it boils down to you not playing him very well.

They day he receives a buff is the day I hit challenger. Unfortunately theres no way its gonna happen, and if it did the outcry would be astonishing. Because apparently hes OP. But being somebody that plays him I certainly dont feel OP. But nowadays the way it works is, the people complain because they dont know how to play against X champion and thus get destroyed, meaning that champion is OP because they snowballed hard.

LOl I couldn't agree with you more. I main Yasuo with 650k+ exp in him. This dude, who posted this, is right and he needs buffs, but If he ever did get them, the outcry from bronze players would crash the forums. Yasuo as a close in fighter has no defense. Almost everyone who plays Yasuo has had a lot of time and experience in the champion, enough where we play very well. Then the point and click champion players complain because instead having to suffer and learn their champions, like Yasuo's do, They cry and break down.

He really doesnt need a buff or a nerf right now. Hes fine the way he is

Lol. I saw -12 before I read the post. Yasuo is fine where he is dude. Just practice more...

Swiftdeath2evilJun 26, 20161 votes

Yasuo is fine.

PROJECT AluneJun 26, 20161 votes

You can argue all you want that Yasuo is fine. I really don't care about your silver opinion. Fact is Yasuo is not played in the LCS because he is not on the same level as other melee carries like Irelia and Jax.

Ruin LanceJun 26, 20161 votes

ok so yasuo doesn't need buffs but most of the people commenting on here flat out know nothing about yasuo.

i don't want yasuo buffs and YOU don't want yasuo buffs either unless you want him to be perma-banned by stupid bronze 18 players for god knows how long and honestly whoever else that thinks this champion is overpowered.

but anyway, yasuo might end up being doomed for the long run if he eventually begins to fall even more out of favor unless riot decides to slip in some indirect buffs somewhere.
