Yasuo Buff Talk!

Riot: "Hmmm, Yasuo's banrate almost doubled in every ELO since we introduced 10 bans..." Player's: "Yasuo is either one of two things, a pain to play against or a pain to have on your own team, so we ban him." Riot: "Okay, we'll make some changes to him." Riot: "Here you go guys! We buffed him! :)"

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

In all seriousness though, Yasuo did not need a buff in any way, shape, or form. I really don't see the point in making his lane phase stronger by increasing his base resistances and then making his late game even stronger as well. Yasuo was never weak to the point of requiring buffs, he's just not as good in certain ELO's and that's kind of true for a lot of champions.

In addition, yasuo's lane phase was already pretty strong for a late game champion, sure if you had any sense you wouldn't die to yasuo buuuuut the chances of killing him were much lower than other late game scaler's. All he has to do to start winning the game is get 2 items and not feed in the process.

In closing, i'm not gonna tell you what i think could be changed about him, cause i have no idea but buffing him is probably a bad idea because it will not stop him from getting banned constantly.

INB4: "YASUO IS ONLY BANNED IN LOW ELO BY LOW ELO SCRUBS."

While yes his banrate is higher in low ELO, he still has a pretty considerable banrate in high ELO as well, its not nearly as high in Diamond as it is in Bronze but you don't have a 20% banrate for nothing. Namely people don't want him on their own team in High ELO and people don't want him on the enemy team in Low ELO.
