If Yasuo is not addressed during the Marksman item changes, then Riot done goofed.

One thing that is worrying me is that Yasuo with the new item 3031 + conqueror + new item 3036 is gonna be too powerful. The man gonna shred through armor and deal insane true damage making him too damn powerful. and with Hall of Blades he can then stack his Q even faster making him too strong overall.

All of these changes are too much in his favor.

He spikes slower, does less damage than live. new IE lowers his damage, even with conqueror. Not to mention he can't just get a cloak for a quick 100%, meaning he doesn't get 100% unless he spends 5400 gold.

Basically easier to handle early game. I'll do some testing with dominicks later.

I think he kinda would be balanced, since ie give double crit while in same time it doesn't increase his damage against squishy targets aka mages it just make his damage goes through tanker more easier.

I've tested it without doms, he does do less damage with conqueror compared to live.

Well i assumed that since the 50% crit damage what give him the more power in trades with his crits while the new ie just give him no extra damage just bypass some of his damage to true damage to pass through armor.

Nothing is balanced against a champ who has a passive shield that will absorb overlay damage. Like if you try to use an execute on him at 1 health and he has his shield unpopped, it just eats all the damage.

That is a pro, but his spike would be insane. Don't know if that is a fair trade.

The kneejerk reaction without analysis is just insane. Yasuo going for new IE + conqueror + last whisper is so many wasted stats that it is actually laughable. He still needs the same amount of times to get to his 100% crit, and those crits he deals will be hurting for much less because of the 50% amp from IE gone. Basically, those items don't stack well together with conqueror, investing in both penetration and true damage is counter productive because they don't compliment each other well, especially when he already has huge penetration with his ultimate. The lack of amp from the IE passive will hit him much harder than the true damage conversion will help him because he was already using conqueror for true damage and he ignores a lot of armor regardless.

Oh, and as a minor detail, he cannot run hail of blades + conqueror.

All item 3086 are more expensive.

item 3031 is useless as a rush item.

This is a nerf.

What kind of bronze would ever build IE first?

Terozu1 votes

Anyone building crit and not playing a rageblade adc.

no to toxic2 votes

ahahah holy moly a litereal 3 season bronze is trying to justify IE first on Yasuo [sg-miss-fortune]

Terozu1 votes

ahahaha i started in season 4, and you're not helping your case by attempting to call rank.

Infinity Edge was and is a standard rush item, Especially on Yasuo.

no to toxic2 votes

Like how mentally behind do you have to be as a person to think that. http://www.probuilds.net/guide/show/NA/2774984317/21490433 http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Yassuo You see these people. They aren´t bronze and they don´t rush IE like goddamn imagine actually saying that with a straight face

Terozu1 votes

Dude. Literally every yasuo game on the Yassuo account that he didnt rush I.E. with the exveption of games that end with no finished items, he lost.

In addition every high winrate Yas build has it on second item minimum which is still a rush item.

And your first link has it being a rush item, at least the second item built.

How do you fail that badly at giving evidence.

Your links have them all rushing the friggen item.

It may worry you, but I'm excited to see how he gets nerfed after this indirect buff.

Yasuo nerfed? Good one.

princeblumpkin4 votes

He'll need to be addressed all right, not just in the way you think. These changes are huge indirect nerfs to Yasuo and he'll almost certainly need compensation buffs.

Does IE and Conqueror stack? Does that mean you can get 40% true damage? That would be insane.

If it does stack, then yes, it would be too fucking insane.

But Yas already has armor pen so its virtually useless to him.
