I think they might be buffing Yasuo again.

People on Reddit have found a potential buff to Yasuo's passive. I don't really know if it a buff but basically they want Yasuo's passive shield to have extra scaling with % healing and shielding buffs (ie, Redemption).


After users on Reddit noticed what looked like a Yasuo change, Riot Maple and GreaterBelugaWhale just in to note: Riot Maple: There's not supposed to be any buffs at the moment. A designer went through and did a bunch of rescripting to his abilities (make them easier to work on in the future), and there may have been something that went wonky with that. We're looking into it. GreaterBelugaWhale: "Not meant to be buffed. Working on a significant rescript, some oddities may have affected numbers, but believe this might just be a house keeping/tooltip diff. Will look into it There should be very few functional changes from live Yasuo: his e now uses the same spell buffering irelia uses and his passive now scales with % healing and shielding buffs (ie: redemption) PS. Please don't build redemption on yasuo"

So what this looks like is healing items can now affect and help Yasuo rebuild his flow shield back to maximum quicker. As if it was hard enough for Yasuo to fully stack his shield in the first place. It will make this already obnoxious champion that is hard to poke out and kill because of passive shield and windwall even harder, when paired up with supports like Soraka, Janna and others that can build Redemption efficiently.

The passive shield is Yasuos own passive which means it will only get boosted if he himself builds the Heal/Shield Increase Items. A Soraka will not boost his Shield as her items do not increase the shields/heals of others only her own heals. So in order to benefit from this a Yasuo has to build Ardent Censer and Redemption... and if the Yasuo in my lane would start to build Redemption I for sure would not complain about having a free lane.
