Yasuo's Nerfs

The Ecdysiast··2 votes·484 views

If we're not going to nerf Zed and Katarina, (If you think -.125 AS makes a difference on Zed or adding a 3-second timer to the passive she'll get from being the one to kill them anyway are nerfs, look at the winrates and see they didn't do anything.) Can we give Yasuo back a little of his strength? They might as well have cut off his ponytail, it's so disgraceful. I don't mean a flow increase. That does nothing to put him on par with their mobility or damage. Yes, I UNDERSTAND that he gets more dashes in a row. Some idiots seem to forget that he can't use it without a target, and unlike Kat he can't use it to allies or wards. Meaning he can only use it to escape if you happen to be by a jungle camp that's very close to its wall, or behind a wave of enemy minions, while those two can use theirs to escape whenever they want. It's not like he becomes untargetable or has their mobility outside of the lanes.

I actually think his dash should be usable without a target. That'd give him the same escape options those two (And LB, and Nid, and Kass, and Lee Sin, and Jarvan, and Nautilus, and Vi, and Ezreal) have, without giving him back his instaban.

I AM NOT ASKING that he STILL be able to dash so OFTEN. I was thinking something along the lines of Renekton's dash, where you get a second if you hit someone. But of course, I'm getting all the people who love midlane assassins too much to have any competition against them in-lane.

If we arent gonna nerf these guys (Ok I know they already did but i wanna ignore that). Can we buff this guy? ( OK I know they already did, but i wanna ignore that).

(I'm pointing out the changes they made that didn't do anything. ) (You haven't been playing long if you don't know how Yasuo was before and how it's only exactly like Kat has always been and Zed is now.) I called for a buff that ONLY gives him the same mobility they have. Minion-dependant mobility is not the same as a free blink to a point 900 spaces away or an ally. I know you're probably one of those people who thinks Katarina is a completely balanced champion, since she can Shunpo to wards and allies despite it contrasting in every way with her lore and character.

Uh no

the old yasuo was fucking broken. He could 1v5 entire teams and wouldnt hardly even lose his shield doing so. His shield made it so that even leblanc couldnt harass him out of lane. Old yas is about as strong as a zed and a kat at the same time.

Yet they cut down his ultimate, Q damage and cooldown, shield, and dash and you still think he's too broken to be allowed to actually move around the battlefield without minions like they do. Right.

Rightfully so.

The thing is, Yasuo has multiple dashes in a row where as every champion you've mentioned does not. (pending LB, Nid and Kass, but they don't potentially have nearly as much and they use mana)

Yasuo's power is relative to how many minions are on the enemy's side.

Nid's leap does not use mana btw

Yasuo has multiple dashes in a row... TO ENEMIES. While every champion I mentioned can use theirs to get over walls, to escape into ALLIES, and to go wherever they want. All I'm asking is that in exchange for gutting his damage when they gave the Q a cap on its cooldown, they give him the mobility to leave a fight since he can't just Pentakill alone anymore (Or like Kat always has).

If Yasuo had a free dash he would be really broken haha

The Ecdysiast1 votes

No, what was really broken about him before was the even lower Q cooldown, ultimate range, and Q base damage. What he's lacking now to fight champions like LeBlanc, Zed, and Katarina is the same nonconditional mobility that they have. Yasuo's dash is determined completely by enemies. But Kat can Shunpo to allies and wards, Zed can dictate where his shadow is, and Leblanc can choose the ending and starting point of the two dashes she gets. There aren't any minions inside of walls.
