Why does Yasuo Q counts as an ability for the purpose of Sheen?

It says it is treated as a basic attack, CDR doesn't affect its CD, but it is reduced by attack speed and its cast time is reduced too by attack speed, so not an ability like Gangplank Q, that is reduced by only by CDR and its cast time is always the same. So why does Yasuo Q procs Sheen? Sheen procs on ability cast.

Also why does Trinity Force still gives 5% MS? Zeal has that MS increase passive, Stinger has CDR.

It applies on hit effects and since you're using a spell to perform an auto it does the sheen shit.

Pretty much

CAST {triggers sheen}->Auto (the actual skill)->applies sheen.

I know that, GP Q does that too, but Yasuo Q is treated as a basic attack, it shouldn't count as a spell for the purpose of sheen.

You cast a spell to trigger an aa

Yasuo's Q is still an ability that needs to be cast, and it functions just like GP Q, because it's just an empowered Auto. Just because it's CD goes down with AS, doesn't means it's magically not an ability. It just means it has a different scaling is all. You seem to be confusing Sheen's on ability activation effect with a spell effect.

Umm...check the wiki

Steel Tempest is a pass-through skill shot that uses quick cast by default. The third active knocks airborne all enemies in its path.

Okay let me, clarify. An ability can be treated as one of two things, a spell or auto attack. Either way, they're both abilities, what changes is what sort of effects they can apply. The spells can obviously apply spell effects such as Rylai's slow or Liandry's. However, the auto attack ability will only on hits, such as life steal and well Sheen.

Yasuo's Q activates an empowered basic attack. It's still a spell cast.
