Would removing crit from Yasuo completely kill him? (Discussion)

Before I start, I have to say this. Yasuo is a very awkward champion with mixed feelings in the community, and "Mobility" is a cuss word on these forums. These are my opinions backed by what I think could be considered facts. If you're a numbers guy this isn't for you I didn't post any research. Feel free to post your opinion and keep an open mind!

Alot of people have said that Yasuo should get his crit removed and his Q and R should do more damage.

This would absolutely kill him, in my opinion.

Lets define two types of melee champions first;

The AD Caster: Someone who scales with AD and uses abilities to deal most of their damage. Ex, Zed, Jayce, etc

The AD Carry: Someone who uses autoattacks to deal most of their damage Example: Yasuo, Master Yi, etc

If Yasuo had no Crit and they buffed his abilities, his autoattacks would be pretty meaningless and he would need to become more reliant on his Q, which is his only AD ability in his basic kit. It is also counted as an autoattack and there are millions of ways to counterplay an autoattack such as Jax's E, thornmail, etc. That leaves him with his R (which his Q Needs to proc three times in order for him to land with some exceptions.) So far we have a champion who is only good at melee range, but can't be at melee range because of his lack of damage. If his Ult became his main damaging ability then he would essentially be a Zed/Katarina mix in the sense that, they rely on their ult to do anything and that is completely contradicting his purpose as a Melee ADC, who should have high sustaining damage. (His E is a poor excuse of a damaging ability)

Yasuo is also very squishy without tank items which is why they gave him that boost of 2x crit and a shield. He works as a champion who picks his battles, and when he picks the right ones will win more often than lose.

Heres what I think would happen if his Crit was removed but his damage was buffed

PROS: Stronger early game and strong laning phase He would have more diversity build-wise Less toxic to play against if fed

CONS: Would need a complete rework, not just damage buffs. No clear role for him. Very narrow team comp possibility, almost requiring knockups on team. His only purpose would be an extended knockup and meat to get chewed through while vayne pentas.

Something like this would NEED a major rework, not just a powershift.

Here's a little info about me so you don't need to look me up to use that as a defense to your case. My main champions in ranked: Azir, Velkoz, Yasuo I am Bronze 3 right now, was Silver last season. Trying to climb out. My average CS is around 60 at the 10 minute mark, which I know is mediocre at best. My mechanics are good but my common sense isn't, Sometimes I need to take a breather before leaving spawn.
