Will Yasuo get re-buffed ?!?! (or at least reverted to his old state)

Before the nerf was originally a slightly overpowered champ. Now after the nerf he is literally the worst champ in the game.

With the lowest win rate in ranked it is now offically safe to say that is better then (no kidding, check lolking)

RITO PLS.... Trash tier doesn't even begin to describe the cesspool yasuo is in right now. -__-

Of course I am abit biased cos I bought the project skin and now never use it.... :( but it still doesn't change the fact that he is beaten in every mid lane match up now...

Any thoughts on how to fix him?

He was fine. His laning phase was ok, his lategame damage was right for a melee hypercarry. And they just decided to nerf him into oblivion. He. Was. Not. OP.

Revert his last nerfs and he is fucking fine.

And yet he's still 3rd most banned champion in game.

Sorry to say, but he cannot be buffed for as long as he retains his kit. It doesn't allow for much counterplay and it's frustrating to play against.

He needs a rework, not a buff. Things that are okay in his kit right now:

Shield passive
Q damage/stacking
R damaging part

Not okay things in his kit:

175 range (why? His weapon isn't especially long, nor is his model really big. Yi's katana and Trynda sword are just as long and he have 125 range. The other guys at 175 range have either spears/staffs (that are expected to have higher range - because they are significantly longer) or their models are just big)
Double crit passive (and it's on top of the already good shield passive)
Q stack timer (it simply lasts way too long pressuring the lane incredibly hard, especially after 6 - as getting hit with the knockup will most likely result in death. I think it should be dependant on his Q CD - for example: Stacks lasts Q CD + 4 seconds, meaning that you always have 4 seconds to cast another Q)
W (allows for even less counterplay than Braum's shield and it's way too forgiving as well)
E (makes it easy to dodge skillshots (just by randomly clicking on minion whenever you see enemy do something) and gives him way too much mobility, at least as far as laning phase goes - wouldn't be as much of a problem if Yasuo used energy or mana (energy would be perfect for him - like 40 energy per dash, but 20/25/30/35/40 is refunded if used on enemy champion))
R armor penetration (makes building the stat that should counter his damage extremely inefficient with his 50% bonus armor penetration)

I mean, I really like the idea behind Yasuo - a samurai/ronin that uses wind to fight his opponents. But right now his kit is the most 'toxic' (I always treat toxic as "not allowing enough counterplay options) one in League.

I hate playing against Yasuo. Just seeing him on the other team makes me want to just leave the game. He's seriously no fun to play against.

You've clearly never played Yasuo.

Same with you. You think he can just instantly pick up a penta? If it was the easy, he would have th highest PKA, yet he has one of the lowest.

And yet he's still 3rd most banned champion in game.

He's banned because A) People don't want a feeder on their team. People who play Yasuo usually feed the enemy team. B) In low ELO some people think he's OP just because some Pros banned him.

Before people call him OP or Perfectly fine, they need to go check out his KDA and his W/L Ratio. He has one of the worst KDA and W/L.
