I am really hoping this patch is all just a huge joke because....

I've been complaining about yasuo due to his kit for over a year now which includes...

  1. Poke
  2. CC
  3. A shield
  4. Nearly limitless mobility
  5. A wall that blocks ALL projectiles including important team fight ults. and now! 6) A heal (through the talent)

Riot projects themselves as a professional company, then release this patch and almost immediately put up a "how to play yasuo" post that says:

"Since his release, Yasuo has been seen as one of the most challenging champions in League" The skill gap between high tier of play and low in league is tiny in comparison to ANY other competitive game I know of..... and they have the balls to post this kind of crap after this kind of patch? That is not professional. That is not cool.

Not only is yasuo a problem, but he is getting a lot of attention due to the literal taunt against everyone with that post.

Other things that got butchered with this patch:

Turrets needed a MASSIVE buff, at least in the general bronze - diamond solo queue... That balance is ONLY made for high level of play, and completely ruins the game for the bulk of the player base. As I said in another post its come to the point where people focus more on objectives and turrets and back dooring than actually fighting each other... No one wants to play a moba to fight bases, and that's whats going on.

AP champions are now completely useless. Period. Not only was AD buffed significantly with the AP items being nerfed, but all the magic resist items were buffed, weakening them even further...

"Tanks"... Now build damage, because even when you build tanky. You die in 10 shots to basically any AD.

I'm sure there are other things I could hit on, but these all bother me the most. I really really hope you guys take a hard long look at what you're doing to your game, because if it keeps going down hill like this no one will play anymore.

all this patch did to tanks was make it so they dodnt survive as long in team fights so you have a massive wall of support/top/jg tanks blocking the way, now AD casters and assassins have a spot in the game. rather than choosing assassins into a huge meat wave of tank flesh in team fights. split pushing is even mroe viable option of winning

You expect a level of competence from the company behind a game as successful as LoL; Patch 5.22 is not that. Worlds fell flat this year, maybe these drastic changes are a result of that. I question if this is a move in the right direction. At least the announcers can talk about capstones this year.
