A way to nerf Yasuo

BenneCloff·Aug 20, 2016·4 votes·1,082 views

I believe the "Double Crit Ratio" is the real feel of Yasuo and should be his main passive.

Something should be done about Yasuo's shield passive. Its up way too often and its particularly annoying if you are not a skill shot oriented champ. his insane mobility starts from level 3 onwards. After that its very hard to catch him with his S rank mobility.

The shield last for 2 sec's, its not like a immediate proc and dead kind of thing, It last for 2 secs. Most of the champ's gap closers are their main damage dealing abilities. So all that damage gets negated and yasuo just dashes away from you. Leaving a tornado behind so you cannot follow him back or can just use his ult, get his shield back bang bang fck u up and gg.

Moreover you get instant shield after his ult :)

I found ways to counter him, like Teemo, Akali and all but these champs are really not fun to play. If teemo gets camped hard its GG.

Do something fast Devs, yasuo is still wrecking havoc.

I like how his passive is so op. Like out of the park op. Some champs have such bull shit boring passives. While this fcker gets to keep 2 x op passive. Love for yasuo much riot ???

You guys just nerfed Irelia's already fcked up passive. I just can't wrap my head around it. She is op no doubt, her kit is. But her passive ??? really ??? I am not even sure if it even does something. Kinda its not really visible in anyways.

A. Did not say how to nerf him.

B. No actual knowledge of Yasuo's actual problems (Bruiser and frustration to play against him)

C. He needs his god damn shield. It's easy to poke and he needs some sort of defensive ability because he's a squishy skirmisher/fighter.

Downvoted.

A. Clearly gave the tips or the general problem while facing a Yasuo, Not in my hands to nerf him.

B. You just turn out to be another yasuo player, who I give two fcks about. The actual problem is not him being a bruiser, like every other bruiser for eg - Yi or GP, he can also live without his shield, which is definitely overpowering him too much. You can build him glass cannon or bruiser your style of playing him. So clearly if you can constantly trade with him on equal footings, that will make things a lot easier. For eg him without a shield, that pops up every 2 secs, You can actually do some good trades, when he close in on you.

C. Its your style of building him, He has a wind wall, Clearly that is a good defensive skill. And again tell that to those melee champs, that have a hard time poking down his shield. Yi , Gp and quite a few bruiser champs are doing OK, even without the help of a absurd shield that is up every 2 secs, to protect them from any damage.

Again you are a yasuo player, who can't keep it in his pants, whenever there is a topic related to Yasuo nerf.

You believe it or not Yasuo is getting nerf (official words by GM). It just depends how he is getting it. Hope they do something about his shield. Malzahar got a nerf on his shield, it works almost the same way as yasuo's shield but at least it has a min 12 secs timer on it. That gives enough time to pull in some good trades. Now you r gonna cry about how his shield is different and it stops all forms of CC as well. My answer is : Concept is same.

And what other escapes Malzahar has ? besides his ulti, which is not exactly a escape. Compared to yasuo, who can dash , wind wall away most of the damage, use tornado to escape and easily reach the tower protection.

I already said his bruiser build should be nerfed. Riot already said they were going to nerf it and I know that. Also windwall has a long cooldown and yi has his W and Q. Gp his oranges. It's not up every two seconds stop being hyperbolic. his bruiser build is op, his normal full crit isn't. Stop whining and you didn't state how to nerf him. Also malzahar's shield blocks ccs and is simply pure cancer to play against. You can cc yasuo and his shield will be worth jackshit.

Really learn how to play against him. Also when you make an argument about champions, you don't simply list their strengths, make it hyperbolic and don't talk about his weaknesses. Also stop saying I'm trying to defend him because I'm a yasuo player, I main kha'zix and I'd like him to be popular, he's squishy af and easy to gank, so Idc.

Omg r u serious ?? "DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIS SHIELD" more then enough of a direction for dev's to look at ?? and again like I said, Its not in my hands to nerf him.

Please do not compare GP's oranges to yasuo's shield, my god the fcking shield is way too op, compared to those oranges. Yi's W has a very long cd as well. Compared to yasuo's fcked up shield.

Also malzahar's shield blocks ccs and is simply pure cancer to play against. You can cc yasuo and his shield will be worth jackshit.

You have not read the last line for sure.

Trust me, I tried. Still its fcking hard to lane up against him and his mobility is just insane to counter.

Also when you make an argument about champions, you don't simply list their strengths, make it hyperbolic and don't talk about his weaknesses.

Really don't understand what u mean here, "don't talk about his weaknesses."

Hell I don't see yasuo's weakness anywhere, I have seen a yasuo with IE + Static shiv + all tank items and I saw nothing weak about him. Like literally nothing. Same damage output, Went 1v4 easily and killed 2 and still survived.

Also stop saying I'm trying to defend him because I'm a yasuo player, I main kha'zix and I'd like him to be popular, he's squishy af and easy to gank, so Idc.

All I see here is "fck you, I am yasuo player I am trying to hide behind this stupid statement, because I think the world is blind and stupid. will you take responsibility if riot will nerf yasuo because of this topic?? I love to play him and would cry buckets if he gets nerfed, will probs leave LOL and cry my ass out."

Here is your lol profile : http://lolprofile.net/summoner/na/XTRMN00B1337

Prob's not your first main, he is your second main : 38413 points on yasuo.

AND YES YOUR ARE DEFENDING HIM FOR THE VERY SAME REASON, AS I STATED. YASUO PLAYER.

The thing is malzahar's shield prevents him from being caught out, Yasuo's doesn't.

I knew you wanted to nerf the shield because you kept on talking about it but you never clearly stated that was what you wanted.

"It's hard to lane against him"

That's pretty true.

But really, if you want to nerf him, it's not really his shield honestly. You're clearly going something wrong if that thing is more than an auto attack blocker.

BenneCloffAug 21, 20161 votes

Its actually more of a burst blocker, Lets say you are an assassin, you go in with your gap close, go ham on your keyboard, only to find out his shield has blocked most of the damage.

And popping that shield is not easy for melee champs with his mobility.

Just remove it, he doesn't need 2 passives.

TargonAug 20, 20161 votes

I think that the shield part of his passive needs to be adjusted. It's stronger than Malphite's shield passive in the early levels.

BenneCloffAug 20, 20161 votes

At later levels he doesn't need it at all, Pure lifesteal and instant "fck you" options are more then good enough.

I doubt they want to Nerf him because players choose him for 70% of games. I think they abandoned their "every game should feel different" approach and completely 180d to "every game this meta will snowball"

BenneCloffAug 20, 20161 votes

They clearly need to do something about it though. Its not just me, its very hard to play for anyone who lane up against him. His early clear, his range damaging options, his mobility is clearly absurd.

Even if you are playing safely, he will keep on pushing the minions under your turret and keep you zoned out with tornadoes, eventually after level 7 scale up soo hard and screw you instantly. Then he will snowball so hard, game will go out of control.

420 gramsAug 20, 20161 votes

Yup. Because they like yasuo and would rather punish people for not picking him than have diversity

DunkinNoobsAug 20, 20161 votes

Yasuo's shield hasn't lasted 2 seconds for a very, very long time. It only lasts 1 second now.

BenneCloffAug 20, 20161 votes

The tool tip clearly says 2 secs and visually as well it breaks in two halves, not the whole shield all of a sudden. The point is its enough to protect him from burst damage from a assassin champ or anything.

DunkinNoobsAug 20, 20161 votes

What tooltip are you reading where it says 2 seconds? Because it's just been 1 second for ages.

BenneCloffAug 21, 20161 votes

Ya, I am sorry, I guess I am wrong on this one. I don't know where I remember it to be 2 secs. Probs from some site, that hasn't been updated for a while.

GULAG 4 UAug 21, 20161 votes

I think it's 2 seconds, but really it lasts for no time. Poke it out with an aa (it's not hard, do it when he tries to get cs) and when the tries to go ham on you, you fire everything at point blank. Yasuo doesn't have a dangerous spike or suprise damage like kha'zix, and unlike most midlaners like zed, annie, and others.

BenneCloffAug 21, 20161 votes

The thing is, he moves around soo much during the cs, its hard to catch his tail, untill and unless you are a ranged champ, lets say teemo.

But then again good yasuo players don't even fear that, they are soo aggressive early game, which mostly other champion kits hardly offers and according to riot yasuo is supposed to have a weak early game phase. FCKING FACEPALM.

GULAG 4 UAug 21, 20161 votes

Well can't you just beat the living shit outta him when his shield is down?

And he's squishy af unless he goes the bruiser thing. And playing aggressive makes him push lane, stop playing passive versus him, you can easily zone him and your jungler should gnak his ass.
