Pretty much the title , I am a Yasuo player but I dont understand why Riot wants to buff Yasuo when he is just fine ? He still gets picked in pro play in 8.15 , and I still can play in him in my master/d1 games , But riot for some reasons says, he is weak, like what on earth is going on :D

Gen G vs Afreeca Game 2 btw.

" This is the same ridiculous thing that happened with Zed, he was not OP but he was in a perfect spot with no bans at all until Riot Games attacked with buffs. "

Because he can do fancy plays and sell skins after worlds

As long as his windwall exists, he will always be unfun to play against for the 99%. lets see 18 second cooldown? that negates (without having to actually aim it mind you) the enemies big cooldowns that happen to be coded as projectile. Ex, Braum, whose ult erupts the GROUND right? is completely negated by an 18 second point and click for the TEAM. Put in perspective a 60-130 second skill is negated by 18 x 5 (the team).

I personally don't care about his passive shield who I have seen negate an ezreal ult when he was within death range. I don't care about his double crit chance. I don't care about his free armor pen. I don't care about his tornado that spans the length of the screen. I dont care about his tornado making your q pbaoe, negating even having to land the q "skill shot". I don't care about his ulting on the backs of anyone eles random knock up that spans the length of the screen. I don't care about his mobility. I don't care about using your own minions against you. I can go on and on.

The problem is very simply his windwall. You don't aim it, just drop it and behold "Im so skilled! haha you cant hit me or my TEAM with anything!! and muahaha now that you have no cd's you will die! HASAGI!" You remove or rework this and the hate for yas will drop in my humble opinion, and the 50% ban rate will drop as would his win rate. No other champ can literally feed, lose lane and still kill your whole team because of innate power, and no other champs can negate a good portion of complete champion kits on an 18 second cd. to be honest? this is beyond ultimate power, that shouldn't be on his W. Its like old TF, like beta TF, they changed his ult from his w to his r because gee, it wasn't very smart to give a champ a 30-40 second map blink, lol

If there is another champ like this by all means, let me know, I could be wrong.

"Yasuo played in pro play: let's buff him so we'll see him more often"

"Shen gets picked once as a support? Let's nerf him until we'll never see him again"

So? Why do people think that being picked in the lcs or lck makes a champion op, numerous times its proven false, ryze and gnar are perfect example of this.

The Ecdysiast8/12/2018, 11:04:17 AM3 votes

His W is a unique strength for a team, just as Ryze's ultimate is. That's why he can be used in LCS regardless of how he's performing for everyone else.

Because riot is getting desperate when it comes to getting more people to watch in pro play, yasuo is one of those flashy (I have so many ways to outplay you and fill everyone not playing against me with dopamine.)

Pretty sure the buffs were removed from PBE. Can we stop getting in a tizzy over this? It's annoying to read about it over and over again.

But don't we want to NOT balance around the pro scene?

what are these buffs besides Yasuo accidentally being buffed by adc item buffs

Just because he gets picked doesn't mean he's good. You yourself seem to have a 38.5% win rate with that champion based on what I can see on LolKing.

Why do you think he's fine? Why do you think people might consider him underpowered?

They felt the crit changes hurt him, so they attempted to buff him. They pulled those buffs off the pbe. Now we're complaining when they don't buff damage.
