Yasuo's Tornado replacing Windwall?

Disulfiram··5 votes·2,536 views

Let's face it, the main reason why you can only play Yasuo in blind pick is his Windwall. It's so annoying that he will get banned even when he's not strong.

So, what if his W was his Tornado instead?

The increased reliability of his tornado (no need to "charge" it + doesn't expire = less feast or famine + can actually farm from range) would be a straight up buff, and if it isn't enough to compensate for the loss of Windwall, then he can be buffed further: for example with a simple numbers buff, or even something a bit crazy like making his Tornado cancel projectiles (would keep the reactionary safety that his Windwall provides at the moment without zoning half of the enemy team out of the teamfight).

While making his W a combo of his Q3 and current W would be cool as hell, it'd also take away a good amount of coutnerplay. He's balanced around his knockup being known and able to be waited out. Taking away that window means Yasuo gains a lot of strength in lane (as you just have to wait the 6 seconds for it to time out, giving Yasuo definite and defined periods of threat).

Besides, what would happen with his Q, then? Would it just be a generic AA enhancer?

Wouldn't it just be exactly how the first two attacks are now?

Neat idea but I would still permaban him xd I hate this champion, even tho I win against him, just because he jumps like a monkey everywhere and there is no indicator of which minion he jumped on already, so I can't plan anything against him, I just wait for him to be stupid. Coz every Yasuo player fucks up, because their champion is too mobile.

this would actually add a lot of edge and skill into his gameplay.. i might start maining him again (stopped after ie changes bc he was 2 broken 4 me)

edit: after the recent ie and crit changes btw, not to be confused with the gutted ie
