Yasuo's E should do physical damage

What's your reasoning for having it do physical damage?
probably less mixed damage -> armor more effective
In this case I would have to agree with the OP's idea.
Yasuo already has a really strong option for armor mitigation in his ultimate. Mixed damage is normally a way around a particular resistance, so I don't really see the need to give a DPS champion multiple built in ways to ignore resistances.
That said Yasuo's E isn't really a damage dealing ability. It feels more like a hold over from back when Trinity Force had AP, and AD champs who were expected to build it were given some AP scaling on a mostly utility ability. If it's damage was meaningful in some way I'd be for the change, but as it stands it's just kind of there. That's hardly a good reason to make a change.
I don't really care for this discussion tbh,
but yasuo's E has any of the highest level 1 damage in the game, assuming he dashed through 2 minions prior to dashing to you.
it deals 105 base damage (70+ 50% bonus), which is one of the reason his level 1 and 2 are so strong
True, but the times where this ability is strong are the same times resistances are weak. Changing the damage type is very unlikely to have an impact on his early game.
What's your reasoning for having it do physical damage?
because yasuo doesnt need mixed damage hes already enough of a lane bully and why the fck is dashing through someone magical?
and what's your reason for nerfing him?
Can Lee Sin's E do physical damage too? :)
We will see then assasin Yasuo builds, because Rito will give him AD scaling... getting a penta for just dashing without hitting anything = OP.

I'd like to point out that his "mixed damage" is irrelevant. He deals only physical damage. He gets one dash on you per engagement really dealing one instance of magic damage. Change Zed's passive while you're at it into physical damage for the same reason.
No, it stays magic. Because as much as you may hate that grievous, terrible, broken and game breaking one dash on you dealing minimal magic damage, you don't want it dealing physical damage and scaling off pen.

E max plus Shiv rush in certain lanes gives him almost 50% magic damage for a short period in his laning phase.
Switching it out to physical means that early on you can itemize against him and/or naturally gain armor that will make it weaker early on, meaning he's rightfully vulnerable to bruisers top but still a viable counterpick against mages who rock that 22 armor level 1, and he's stronger later on when it counts, and when he should be strong.
