With Yasuo nerfs coming....

Nami in Bush·Aug 30, 2016·4 votes·682 views

I mained Yasuo before this cancer meta of tanky-damage of stupidity. I wish I could build the old items and now I will finally be able to without the Yasuo "mains" that build Tri-force, Gage, and Death's Dance. The problem I have with the nerfs is he becomes irrelevant to the** this** meta. He won't be stupidly OP anymore, but seriously, all these other champs that build those same items will destroy Yas just because they are tankier and do the same damage. I wish that Riot would fix the actual problem rather than fixing one of the many champs that are broken as a result of the items. Unless they are nerfing every single champ that is abusing these items, this won't fix anything but an open ban slot.

'all these other champs that build those same items' don't have nonexistent cooldowns, windwall, an ult that extends CC, or a binary playstyle that involves dashing in and out to knock up your lane opponent.

Then he gets stunned in a teamfight and he's instantly dead.

Bruiser Yasuo laughs at CC in the same vein Ekko does. And name a few of "all these other champs" and they get blown up with CC too. Mercurial is a core item on damage Yasuo anyway. Yasuo was busted and he's getting nerfed accordingly, no need to cry about it now.

Thats only if he gets ahead and fed. If Yasuo is busted why did he have a 47% win ratio in patch 6.2 and 6.1? He never got changed during that period of time. He hasnt been changed in a long time. When they change items, it changes the champions who use it. Like trinity force:( Gangplank Fizz Jax Nasus Irelia ). It gave all of them a little buff. You dont see people complaining about them, oh wait you do. Because once someone builds something that works, everyone has to complain and say its "OP" and "broken".

I dont hear people complaining about an Orianna ult killing in one hit. Thats OP right? Learn how to play against a champion. Yasuo takes a lot more skill than most of you think. You have a lot to think about when you play him. Yasuo mains just make it look easy.

So please stop complaining about builds that people are implementing and trying to be creative. If you build FM on an adc does that make them OP because they can slow you while attacking at 1.8 attacks a second? You want to then complain about how champions should have higher than 1.2 attack speed? Its honestly sad how everyone complains about everything

I really like Yasuo. I don't think he's OP at all. I think the items he is building now are just plain stupid. Frozen Mallet and Tri-force. You now can't run, cant chase him, and he outdamages you. It's plain stupid and needs to be addressed. As I mentioned in another reply, last time he was changed was V5.8, and before that was V4.21. He hasn't been OP ever. I think the new items are overloaded. That's the only thing that has changed and affected Yasuo.

Honestly, he could have been OP all this time. I dont even go frozen force. I go PD Frozen and even that is stupid. So if you nerf TF you nerf a lot of champs and not just yasuo. So they then have to rebuff the champions to make up for the lack of damage. They put items in recommended as "essentials" for a reason. But for yasuo, it isnt essential. Just try your best to keep yasuo weak and he cant do shit. Shut him down before his TF. Yasuo falls behind way too quickly. Also, the TF change has been in effect for awhile, so the fact that people are just now playing it kinda makes me mad because people dont look beyond the meta. So im sitting here building PD and Frozen and rest tank and i cant die, but still doing a good amount of damage without TF. Maybe i just know how to play him well, but i believe they should nerf his synergy with TF and his tank synergy with his Q.

I have discussed this awhile back and spoke my thoughts and opinions. So feel free to take a look and see if you like my ideas. I do believe Yasuo is being played way too much top and should be a mid laner, but people like me will always play him top or even mid, because tbh, i like yasuo anywhere. I find him very fun and challenging and i can always improve with my mechanics. I dont like seeing so many yasuo players. But yeah lol.

Was I talking about 6.2 or 6.1.......he had a 55% universal winrate top (so anyone who picked him up contributed to that will rate, not just experienced players). They nerfed both Frozen Mallet and Yasuo because both were overbearing.

My point being. He hasn't been "OP". The only thing that has changed for Yasuo is the items in the game. December of 2014 was patch 4.21. He hasn't been touched for nearly 2 years.

Bruiser Yasuo laughs at CC in the same vein Ekko does. And name a few of "all these other champs" and they get blown up with CC too. Mercurial is a core item on damage Yasuo anyway. Yasuo was busted and he's getting nerfed accordingly, no need to cry about it now.

So what changed on him that made him all of a sudden "busted"? The last time he was changed (not a bug fix) was 5.8. Unless you're saying he's been broken for several years now, which in that case you're just stupid.

V5.8 Way of the Wanderer Flow capacity increased to 「 100 – 510 」 from 「 60 – 470 」. Flow generation reduced at early ranks to per 59 / 52 / 46 units travelled from 46 at all levels.

Before that was 4.21

V4.21 Stats Movement speed increased to 345 from 340. Steel Tempest Cooldown reduced to 4 seconds from 5 / 4.75 / 4.5 / 4.25 / 4 seconds at all ranks.

Why don't you stop crying about your personal problems with Yasuo and deal with the fact he shits on you and you don't like that. Too much pride to admit your wrong. That's why you're barely clinging on to silver.

Calling me stupid and using the rank argument automatically invalidates your for a healthy discussion. Ad hominem not cool.

CalabokAug 30, 20162 votes

wasn't unjust. he is the scum of cancer. the nerfs are appropriate.

TargonAug 30, 20161 votes

item 3078 desperately needs a nerf or some adjustments. Irelia Ekko Hecarim Yasuo have been pick/ban and feel OP since the changes to Trinity Force. This item shouldn't even be viable on an AP champion like Ekko or on manaless champions like Yasuo.

BultzAug 30, 20161 votes

Nah fk Riot, as a 700k yasuo main I have been playing him for ever. Now that he is viable as a mid laner and no longer has the lowest win rate mid lane, they nerf him. fk that where are the fiddlestick nerfs, the vayne nerfs, the gragas nerfs, the nautalis nerfs. Fk riot for nerfing Yasuo unjustly

InfernoFøxAug 30, 20161 votes

They are nerfing his synergy with his tank build i believe. They are not nerfing mid yasuo. Like fizz and ekko, they too, want yasuo to be played as a mid lane fighter/assassin.

CaptainAsasinAug 30, 20161 votes

The nerf on Yasuo is not about tanky Yasuo at all. If you wanna netf just tanky Yasuo, you should nerf the basic Q damage but increase by *AD

Noel VermillionAug 30, 20161 votes

The attack speed changes are to make him want attack speed items more, same with the R change making him want crit items again like he was supposed to.

The nerfs were well-deserved. Yasuo was too much anti-fun to play against.

Now hopefully we can go back and play skill-shot mages in peace.

InfernoFøxAug 30, 20161 votes

Yasuo isnt a meta champion. Hes a champion that has a good kit but if youre good with Yasuo then you can carry. But he really isnt a "meta" champion. I would win a lot of games in his weakest state. Its how you play him honestly. Like any other fighters or assassins, if they get fed, they snowball. Even with tank Yasuo. If they do poorly in laning phase, they wont be as much help. Its like normal Yasuo just in a different lane and a different build. If you know how to play against him (which is fairly easy) and if you can keep him from getting ahead in lane, he wont be a threat.
