Yasuo's nerf

sobi999·Jan 24, 2017·3 votes·460 views

Is that a re-balance or a nerf? Reducing his base E damage whilst adding 20% AD ratio. I thought his Q and AA (crit) were his true source of damage and while E is usually always maxed first it's usually to reduce it's CD to allow faster dashes. I know this would make his early laning phase a little bit more difficult but late game the 20% AD ratio will work in his favor or am i wrong? Maybe riot wants people to max Q first now but i reckon most will still max E first.

I actually thought he was fine early game until he got his 2 core items.

It's an actual nerf. It takes a lot of AD to get that old E damage back.

The typical yasuo build only gets 178 bonus ad.

I think they're trying to get people to stop building frozen mallet

It's a nerf, you need 250 bonus AD to equalize the damage which is barely possible much less reasonable when he has a weaker early game and thus can't get so fed that he can build whatever he wants.

I actually don't think yasuo needs to get fed to start killing but if he does get fed he can quickly carry his team. He just needs his 2 core items which is easy since he can farm so easily. Every single match i see a yasuo, he has the most cs out of the rest of the 9 players.
