Minor Yasuo Rework

"omg another yasuo qq post just learn how to play against him noob"

I do know how to beat Yasuo in lane. However, his style of gameplay is unhealthy for the game, in which he is either feast or famine, and is not fun to play against (e.x. he gets many stats for free, such as his extra crit chance from his passive and the armor penetration on his ult). So, here is a minor yet helpful rework for Yasuo that I think everyone would be fine with:

Passive: -Same flow resource -Yasuo gets guaranteed crits on enemies below 10% health -At max flow, Yasuo has 40% slow resistance against the next slow targeting him (static 22 second cooldown)

Q: -Has a 10/12/14/16/18% chance to critically strike (in addition to other crit) -Q Critical strikes do 80% as much damage as normal critical strikes -Has an extra 2 second cooldown after tornado -Tornado drains half of your current flow -Otherwise is the same

W: -On active, has a wind wall in a 100 degree arc in front of him (that is attached to him in a manner similar to Braum's shield) for 1.5 seconds -Also consumes flow and gives him a shield for the same 1.5 seconds (scales with the ability, and with how much flow he has) -20/19/18/17/16 second cooldown

E: -Has a cap of 4/5/6 dashes (based on having 1/3/5 points into the ability), which resets after 5 seconds of not dashing -If you hit the cap, the ability is put on cooldown for 10 seconds, which is affected by CDR

R: -Grants movement speed that decays over 4 seconds, depending on how many people he hits with it -Has less armor penetration on crit (30%, instead of 50%), but Yasuo also gains 30% slow resistance (stacks multiplicatively with his passive if it is off cooldown) that also decays over those 4 seconds.

What do you think?

I like the idea that Yasuo has to think twice before using wind wall but the tornado using up flow seems excessive. I like the dash tweaks but his ult seems underwhelming and should still give him some form of armor pen. All in all great idea!

prob alot of unhealthy things in the game though. For instance, i'm not a big fan of camill and her ult. The fact that u have no options of leaving that cage is imo not healthy at all lol. Im not 100% sure but i'm almost positive that u can't even use a morg shield to leave the cage. I mean tbh i think Riven would rank higher on the list than Yasuo. If you play Riven fairly well you'll never lose a trade. And a few of the keystones atm synergize with her extremely well. A decent bunch of Challenger are Riven mains too atm if i'm not mistaken

  1. He isn't feast and famine. If he can win lane, he snowballs, and if he loses, he has ways to comeback. That is just like how every champion should operate.
  2. He will barely get the guaranteed crits, and the slow resistance passive is pretty bad tbh.
  3. You might as well just make flow mana, and make him rush muramana to solve that problem, and that whole thing is just a nerf.
  4. That makes him broken, because he can just cast it, dive in, and block most crowd control.
  5. That hurts his waveclear.
  6. This is going to make him more of a hypercarry because now he's stronger against slows, and if he uses your proposed plan for the wall, you block most crowd control, and slows, making him the ultimate diver.

Utter crap.
