Yasuo's q is broken and needs to be addressed

Mr map awareness··12 votes·3,949 views

Ok i know this is an unpopular opinion but hear me out: i think yasuo is getting out of hand in the current meta. He dashes around at the speed of light and makes trading very near impossible through his passive. Not only does he have that but he also has his w that blocks all ranged attacks, effectively punishing players for playing champions that should be what counter him.

Now if this wasnt bad enough he also gets twice the auto attacks thanks to his q which makes his damage just absurd due to them scaling with attack speed. What i think could be a potential fix to this problem would be if riot increased Yasuo's q cooldown by 2 seconds and made it scale off cdr. This would make him easier to beat in lane and would thus make yasuo live up to the fantasy of a high skill carry as opposed to what his current state is. Right now yasuo falls short of what his high risk high reward play style should be and is one of the safest mid lane picks in the game, but by nerfing some of the raw power of his q he would feel more fair and like there is counterplay.

edit: you guys are mean i spent 2 and a half hours on this and you guys called me bad. im done trying to help the game if you guys arent going to be more supportive and appreciative of my ideas. maybe my mom was right and i really am just a disappointment

exactly idk why this hasnt happened. i think those greedy hand rubbing bastards at riot are just planning to release a new skin for yasuo and just dont care about the player bases happiness, but just there money.

Maybe they also care about The Yasuo players and not the unreasonable yasuo haters that are swarming as their main champion is probably buffed or untouched

All we need now is every ranged ult being to go through yasuo's wind wall. Because it's annoying to wait every minute or two for an ult to be blocked.

LOL the annie q going through is a bug, and other than that velkoz and lux ults are the only things that go through the windwall, so not sure what point you're trying to make

If you went 45% cdr the cooldown would be almost the same he would just have more damage from t-force and most likely a ghostblade or spear or some shit

You're not wrong. Yasuo's main source of damage is Atk Spd and AD. Changing his Q is like telling Yasuo players to go lethality and what not. It's either you keep the classic Q, or have Yasuo one shot you once he gets his lethality items

Is he even still played in mid these days? I thought he went bot so that a support can babysit him.

Light Burner2 votes

Played against one today as lux carried the shit out of the game. Auto him to pop his shield force him to lose health if he wants to trade. After lost chapter poke him from a distance play a safe laning phase let him push you in and farm ez win. Or you can just be bad and complain about yasuo on the boards instead of getting better.

Telling someone that you can beat a champ and its not broken just get better is toxic now? As for why i said it read the long response i posted right above this one.

Im not trying to flame but we've all seen this "yasuo is broken" on the boards and people keep posting it when we look at numbers yasuo isnt broken players just want to play like headless chickens against him and win. It's really annoying to keep seeing the same arguments made where if you check the numbers theyre just inaccurate. 1st claim: he dashes around at the speed of light making it impossible to trade with. (just auto the guy if he dashes towards you lined skill shots are easy to hit) 2nd claim: his w blocks all ranged attacks, sure but its on a 20 second cooldown bait it out then poke him down with your ranged spells. 3rd claim:He gets twices the auto attacks due to his Q which makes his dmg absurd. Absurd in what way? After he had shiv+edge? Does he want him to deal no dmg by that point. Like its okay for veigar to pop someone with his R syndra the same, lux can pop multiple people and so on but a melee auto attacker who has to risk himself to do dmg isnt allowed that much dmg? 4th claim: one of the safest picks in mid lane. (Where does this claim come from) most mages are safer picks than yasuo in mid lane due to their scaling and range into the late game teamfight. 5th claim: High risk high reward (where does this claim come from) He doesnt need early game kills to scale well into mid and late game and has a 2 item power spike. He has a strong level 1 and maybe 2 as well but besides that hes not really that strong and his ult isnt that easy to set up alone.

So again how many times does this need to be repeated on the boards before it fades and people learn how to play against him. As for the cdr claim if he's against yasuo's wind wall making yasuo's Q scale on cdr would then force yasuo players to build cdr also scaling down the cdr on wind wall and theyd have to increase the duration that yasuo can hold his nado and we'd be back to tri force tank yasuo. We all know how lovely that was. But typing this out everytime someone decides to make a post they dont think through on yasuo is annoying to say the least.

I doubt the Q matters as much as the Windwall, his passive (which one???? there are many), his ultimate, his cc, his infinite dashes.... And lastly, yes, his Q does too much.
