Yasuo buffs on patch 8.10

Quadeca·May 3, 2018·5 votes·3,112 views

The marksman buffs are buffs to . First of all, let's look at the new passive that turns Crit damage to True Damage. 40% true damage is just insane!

Next off, the storm razor will be even more broken, 's attack speed will be increased 25% and the movement speed 8%, that makes even more mobile, since he can crit 100% of the time.

The nerf isn't a big deal, since gold buff will compensate for it. And of course, the buff is letting be a bit tanker and to deal a bit more damage, same with .

Good game rito, you will make him a total monster.

Thank you for the free buffs!

They are intentionally overbuffing and forcing popular champions like yasuo, zed, vayne, etc. Hoping that they'll become viable in competitive play. Comp play is also the reason for mage nerfs. It's not interesting to watch mid laner fighting minions 24/7 and assassins may become viable in comp. But if they become good in comp play, that means they'll most likely be op in soloq. I think the only way for them to stop making this comp chenages is if majority of lol community stops buying products that sponsor lol or just leave the game.

They are already viable in the competitive play, actually more buffs = bigger ban rate, so that's false. The community won't just instantly stop buying the products or leave the game.

If they are trying to fix adcs and accidently breaking them (i saw some post about how they buffed adc dmg against squishy targets) do you really think they know what they are doing? Also I neither said community is gonna do it instantly nor that they'll ever do it.

yasuo cant afford to get stormrazor because he will be too squishy

IE changes gut his early game to the point where he cant even use his highest winrate rune reliably, he has to use PtA

Zeal gold increase makes him slower to get to his power spike

GA buff isn't only for Yasuo

More like his winrate will drop to 45% or maybe a bit lower, because now he will be super useless on anyone trying to play him for the first time AND he will be one of the weakest champions in early game IN the entire roster.

Also IE doesn't give 40% true damage, and Yasuo does too little damage to make that threatening.

QuadecaMay 3, 20182 votes

PtA will just help with Stormrazor and will increase attack speed at the same time. He can just exchange item 3072 to item 3022 and be tanky, and if the player decides to buy GA at the end, it will make him even tanker.

Stormrazor will help item 3022 to kite even better. Sorry, for the mistake on the 40% part, but 20% of crit damage will be converted to true damage, that's a lot.

And if his early game will be extremely weak, it will help avoid him being agro, which helps him to farm up until he get's what he needs.

first of all he will never trade Bt for frozen mallet he needs the lifesteal to live, HP isn't better than lifesteal + that item gives ZERO AD so he will still do 0 damage

it will help avoid him being agro

No it wont, you can dive him even if you have 0 kills all u need is a jugg top and a tank JG.

QuadecaMay 3, 20181 votes

He can always buy Maw for lifesteal instead of GA.

And remember, Yasuo is played mid too, so top laner won't be able to rotate that easily + Counter ganking is a thing.

I don't think that a potential tank jungler can be enough tanky to dive Yasuo early.

you'll only be losing 35 AD tho, and the true damage makes up for it

Yaśuo MainMay 4, 20181 votes

THIRTY FIVE AD, as if he doesnt already do low damage.

QuadecaMay 4, 20181 votes

That's the part where true damage kicks in and totally changs that 35 AD.

Yaśuo MainMay 4, 20181 votes

No it doesn't lol, the true damage converts a percentage of physical damage dealt and yasuo doesn't do enough damage early-midgame to even make the true damage worth it

CaposonghostMay 3, 20181 votes

As another yasuo player, you're entirely correct. The fact that IE no longer makes crits do more damage is almost a nerf on yasuo because his passive already weakens crit damage, even though the true damage might be a decent trade off. I don't think he'll be broken whatsoever and I guarantee there won't be too much of a difference when playing him despite his early game will be even worse and he'll almost be more skill expressive (if you survive laning phase, you're a yasuo god)

QuadecaMay 3, 20181 votes

I guess it will make Yasuo more skill oriented, passive, wind wall and Q's range will help to live him through the phase, if you actually know how to use his kit properly.

Perhaps this community will finally acknowledge Yasuo as a skilled champ, that he already is.

Have a great day!

He's going to be doing a crap load of True damage.

QuadecaMay 3, 20182 votes

Yeah, it will change the IE's passive removal of 50% crit damage. And armor will be useless against it.

MadVikingMay 3, 20181 votes

With Yasuo's kit, he will be doing double his current crit rate and with the Conqueror rune and new IE passive he will have a lot of true damage.

Now I don't know if Conqueror Rune and IE will stack multiplicatively or additively but either way he's gonna get a lot of true damage with right items and runes.

With the direction we're heading I feel like all tanks will require Warmongs as a core item by mid game.
