For the love of god im so sick of seeing this "reeeee Yasuo" business.

Like it or not Yasuo is a champion like anyone else and needed his buffs back when he got them. No matter what mental/statistical gymnastics you go through the Crit changes weren't exactly good for him.

So yes, reverting/changing a lot of the crit changes put him pretty high up.

But Meddler has already stated days after the patch hit that he is in line for nerfs.

It didnt take them 2 patches, or 3, or 4, or half a season.

They are looking at nerfing him in 1 patch.

So why in gods name is the front page filled with "reeeeee Yasuo posts"

im gonna go back to a comment ive seen on one of those posts and my main issue here

in 8.11 he was hotfix buffed RIGHT when he got weak but now we have to wait for the next patch when hes clearly overbearing and a big problem?? my issue isnt that hes broken atm its the clear bias they have when it comes to certain champions

As a Yasuo main, I'd say patch 9.3 marksmen itemization pretty much nerfed him.

The real reason why any Yasuo player built PD was because it had the highest attack speed bonus amongst all Zeal items, which allowed him to get his Q to the fastest CD possible. The 12% reduced damage from the target he's fighting was just a bonus. That's not the case anymore, in fact it's become the lowest attack speed Zeal item alongside Rapid Firecannon. This limits Yasuo to having to build Statikk Shiv for the attack speed but inherently lose wave management because there's a high change that one E+Q will rid him of an entire wave to mobilize through which is why no one ever build Statikk Shiv on him anymore because reposition is much more valuable than wave clear. Wave clear is already done with his AoE from E+Q or Q alone.

Current Phantom Dancer also has a tacked on Lifeline ability that would hinder his build to go into a Sterak's Gage. An item that helps him survive in teamfights when he's in the middle of it all using his Ultimate.

Now to achieve more or less the same stats and build path that relies on a Lifeline item, he has to choose whether to go Statikk Shiv + Sterak's Gage and lose wave control, and ultimately losing his ability to run around through minion waves, or build Phantom Dancer and lose out early Q cd and Sterak's Gage Lifeline.

It's a 2 pronged nerf honestly. He builds Frozen Mallet still but again you'd still want Sterak's Gage along with the FM to allow Sterak's to proc properly.

melee crit users shouldnt exist, or if they do make the crit parts a niche part of their kit like talons crit if he uses q in melee range

It's really cute how even when Yasuo is being nerfed 1 patch after he becomes too strong people will instead babyrage over the fact that it's not a hotfix And if it was a hotfix then they'd complain that he was receiving a reasonable nerf instead of a gutting because you literally cannot please people who complain about yasuo
