Yasuo can buy 2 items, and be completely relevant even after getting destroyed in lane

Is this suppose to be balanced? You can go 5-0 against a Yasuo in lane, but as soon as he buys a shiv and CoA he can walk into a fight and can completely destroy champs. Most champs that go 0-5 in lane need a shit ton of time to catch up and be relevant.

0-5 and he probably has more farm than you anyways.

honestly a 0/5 yasuo in lane shouldnt be able to get any farm, 4 levels behind and wont ever reach the two item.

Uh, because that isn't how that works

Rushing 100% crit when you have 90 AD and 10% crit reduction with no armor pen means you're running around autoattacking people for a ball breaking 172 pre-mitigation damage on a champion that can't build flat armor pen until their 3rd item at the earliest

Or for 3400g (the cost of Shiv + CoA) I could just be playing Zed with a Ghostblade, doing the same amount of autoattack damage but with armor pen, CDR, and the active AS/MS

Fizz is far worse in this aspect, in my opinion. Pops his ult onto you and goodbye.

What are you talking about sure his damage remains relevant but it is about survivability which he needs gold for such as ga omen banshees etc. if he is behind he will get blown up if targeted since he is a squishy melee without gold.

Oh my gosh I remember you! You were that Lissandra who laughed in my face when I used Nami and tried to 1v2 you and your ADC while you were running from me after having just destroyed my inhibitor and both of you were low health! Unlike Lissandra, it wasn't cool :/

But yeah I agree with your post!

Well if thats the case that 5-0 guy must sux cause by the time you get ur items he would probably be like 10-0 and with you no nexus [zombie-brand-clap]

right 1/12 yasuo gets 2 items and goes legendary. every damn game. he doesn't need to be good. his autos are 1/3 of your health at that point.

So can a lot of champions.

Yasuo can destroy champs using 100% crit and his measly base AD? Dude, What? That's the same as him running around with like 180 AD and zero crit. It's hardly anything.

what is "CoA"?

You've identified a real problem, but you misunderstand the mechanism. It's not the 2 items that make him relevant, it's the fact that he can be dominated in lane and still collect free kills off of allied knockups.

I can't tell you how many times I've shut down a Yasuo in lane, and he proceeds to follow one of these teammates around collecting free gold:

Alistar Azir Blitzcrank Braum Chogath Darius Fizz Gragas Janna JarvanIV LeeSin Lulu Malphite Nami Nautilus Orianna Quinn Rammus RekSai Riven Sejuani Tristana Thresh Trundle Velkoz Vi Volibear XinZhao Zyra Singed

Yes, any of these. You haven't felt indignity until you've been Yasuo ulti'd off a Trundle rock, Thresh flay, Darius pull, Rammus powerball, or Riven Q.

well think of it this way. a 0-6 vayne with dedent farm 40 minutes in is very dangerous. regardless if you build tank or not.
