Hey all,
Do you guys think Yasuo will be banned and play less after the changes to his base movement speed & health?
Just wanted to get some thoughts on it because he is my favorite champion no matter what and I was just wondering if you all thought he would be available more.
Also do you think these changes are crucial to his gameplay or are they hardly effective?
BACKSTABUUU3 votesI don't know what to think aside from it's about damn time they hit his movespeed. The character has a spammable dash with a minimal cooldown, there was no reason for him to be as naturally fast as he was.
A character who can zip down a minion line for a ridiculous distance shouldn't also be able to just naturally be faster than most characters.
PoisonedPeace2 votesI think the health nerf is relatively significant, but not really enough to make his early game "weak" per se.
And so long as he can penta kill with 1 item at any point in the game, I will always ban him. No champ should be able to go 0/12 and then instagib 3 people.
DarthSpectrum1 votesToo bad you can't ban half the rooster then.
Yasuo is actually on the (extreme) weak end of melee carries in term of DPS. It is not the damage people complain about, it is his ult CC and wind wall.
Knight SoIaire 1 votesyeah but in order to get that one item he has to survive and farm imagine if enemy midder gets a junngler you are dead and no items, no glory
PoisonedPeace2 votesI don't think you understand. The amount of dmg he does with static shiv is more than most mid laners do with 2 1/2 items. He has an overloaded kit. Its that simple lol.
Knight SoIaire 1 votesbut he is meele and this is the trade off yasuo has his wall but in the end he has to expose himself to do his stuff
PoisonedPeace1 votesI just played with a yasuo that started 0/7 against a nidalee. He got IE and SS and finished the game 14/7 or 15/8. The point is that with 2 items and tier 1 boots, he carried a game that we were down 20 kills. Little strong imo.
Knight SoIaire 1 votesmany of the games with yasuo can look like it
still in my games i notice that he cant handle teamfighting without the wall so its a good thing to poke him with a skillshot before tf (he will blow the wall 90% of the time) and then proceed to teamfighting,
he is pesky ill give him that but i wouldnt go that he is insanely op
PoisonedPeace1 votesHe doesn't even need to be in the team fight... he waits for a knockup, ults, kills 2 or 3 people himself, and no matter how long the game goes, he only needs 2 items to do it.
wolfax2 votesThe only reason he'll continue to be banned is because people have it in their head that he's this monster of a champion that's unbeatable not matter how much he is changed. You won't change the general population's thinking because it's too ingrained at this point. Plus, they never see him anyways so they have no chance to realize he is in fact pretty meh, and even when they do if they ever lose to him they jump to him being "overloaded and OP and needs to be nerfed now" instead of thinking that they may have just played badly and the other team did better than him.

Yeah i have to agree. People just ban him because others ban him (because they think he is way OP). We'll be seasons ahead until people start to realize what his weaknesses are and will slowly stop banning him. I have to admit every time i Yasuo, even if i do bad, i do end up winning the game if i wind up getting my IE (after shiv ofc). My issue is people in Silver are very stubborn. Especially on blue side, every few games i ask them to trade me Yasuo they still ban him. According to them "He's too op" and thats the only answer I receive when I ask "Why did you ban him". I honestly believe they just follow the ongoing trend and its super frustrating. All in all though I sincerely agree with you, people have it in their head that hes "Super OP omg ban or afk".
Knight SoIaire 1 votesppl ban him because they saw what he does when he gets fed (walking into enemy base scoring a triple and walking out with half of his hp, i did it once)
now if he will realy get weaker : his winrate will drop meaning less picked his banrate will drop but ppl wont pick him due to weaknness (yasuo is in a very tight spot already when his kit os overloaded, riot didnt decide where do they want to send him so they made him insane all around) riot will be proud of themselves because they just sent another champ to the bottom of the hell
ofc it will take time for ppl to notice but i think that yasuo will get literaly rekt his early game on mid was already risky due to lack of actual escape, so now any jungler will just eat him, which means less items for him, less dmg, less plays, and no yasuos
ill still hold my love for him (bought a skin and cant play him cause perma banned *:(
NoMonku1 votesIt will hurt him, but people who are actually really good with him can still play him. At higher levels of play this could kill him, as it is somewhat significant. As long as the player is good enough with him he will still always be a threat.

i agree with you on this, people ban yasuo just because others ban him & so on...
But i am totolly unhappy with RIOT on scaling down his speed, he is supposed to be a fast champion (also seems like that), Also even most slowpoke tanky champs have their speed scaled around 345 & they set 340 for yasuo, that completely unfair...!
If any RIOT employee is reading this, please pay some attention to this, SPEEDWISE he is dangerous due to his E(dash),
not due to his movement speed...
