Guess riot has to avoid angering the bronze/silver players raging over buffs to a champion with a 46/48% winrate in his two roles, otherwise they'll boycott by refusing to buy the new SG skins!
Oh, you're saying he is balanced and fun to play against because his winrate isn't above 50
The problem with Yasuo has never been his numbers. It's his ridiculous through the roof utility. I really can't think of a champion that needs a rework more than Yasuo. There's a reason other champions with short CD knock ups and stuns have about an 8 second CD before they can knockup/stun the same champion again. And in addition to significant hard CC power, he has a rapid cast dash that makes landing skill shots ridiculously difficult, a shield has to be broken before you can even try to hit him with a skill, and then a barrier that negates more than half the abilities in the game when the other two defensive utilities aren't enough.
He pretty much has to be on the more nerfed end of the stick because if you give somebody like this a regular amount of skill damage, he'll have power base damage to go along with hyper utility. And the fact that his two item powerspike is pretty much the most powerful two item powerspike in the game doesn't really help keep him under control.
They need to cut back on his utility and then increase his damage.
i was looking forward yasuo in world
guess i'm disappointed again
I mean... LB did have a 46-48ish % of winrate but she got nerfed anyway so number really isn't the primary issue here. The issue is why buff Yasuo in the first place when he's already balance. Any push will just be the "Yasuo" meta over again.
Yasuo has bigger problems. As long as he has a banrate that's through the roof, buffs won't do anything but make people ban him more.
As long as he is by far the most unfun champion to play against, I will ban him even if he has 1% win rate. He makes Teemo vs immobile melee feel like a super fun interactive matchup...
They haven't necessarily been reverted. It's probably the same reason as the Vayne and Malphite changes. They aren't pushing through any updates like that in this patch to avoid shaking things up too much at worlds, like the Juggernaut patch did
