I know there are many posts in the recent hours about it but...seriously

The community begs for almost a year for Yasuo's tower-safety on his R to be removed...and Riot instead buffs it's total damage by a factor of +75%...

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry...so I will do both.

Got you, but at the end he will take one ult now to kill anyone legit.

yeah...a 250% damage modifier, i don't know a single skill in the game that has a mod that high, nearest I know about is caitlyn with a 200% AD mod on her R, but considering her building crit and not lethality ad, it's never been a problem as far as I am concerned.

on yasuo however...

Yasuo + his AD scaling + conquer

Wouldn't his double crit chance double the damage his ult does?

I don't remember if his ult does crit, but if it does crit it will double it.

If it does indeed crit then we're already dead.

Well they almost give it double AD ratio anyway, doesn't matter if it crit or not xD

Bonus AD ratio.

Only kicks in when he buys items with AD on.

If so, they will add crits to E and then W will deal dmg and will crit also

Yasuo's ult does not crit

Bob the Toastr4 votes

Most of the ones that get close or have more are: DOT abillities, such as Fiddle W and R (225% AP over 5 sec + base), Wukong R (440% AD over 4 sec)

Multi-shot: Lucian R (500-750% AD + 200-300% AP over 20-30 shots), MF R (900-1200% AD over 12-16 shots), Heimer RW (183% AP over 4 waves of rockets + base), Xerath R (215% AP at max rank if you hit all 5 shots + base)

The only single damage instance ults that come close are Lee Sin R (200% bonus AD + base), Nunu R (250% AP after 3 sec channel + base), Veigar (up to 150% AP on targets below 33% health + base), Cait R (200% bonus AD + base)

So yeah, there are some ultis that can do more damage, but they have some sort of condition, such as a channel or DOT or having to hit multiple shots.

Yasuo's ult has a condition on needing a knockup to be able to even activate it. Unless his team picks around him he only has the 3rd Q to activate his ult.

Bob the Toastr9 votes

Unless his team picks around him? Let me show you how many champs can let Yas ult for free with no skill (also not only does he do lots of damage he gets a free flow shield and 50% bonus armor penetration)

Aatrox Alistar Anivia AurelionSol Azir Blitzcrank Braum Camille Chogath Darius Diana Draven Fizz Galio Gnar Gragas Hecarim Ivern Janna JarvanIV Jayce Kalista Kayn Kled LeeSin Lulu Malphite Maokai Nami Nautilus Ornn Poppy Quinn Rakan Rammus RekSai Riven Sejuani Singed Sion Swain Syndra Taliyah Thresh Trundle Tristana Urgot Vayne Velkoz Vi Viktor Volibear MonkeyKing XinZhao Yasuo Zac Ziggs Zyra

Not exactly rare to have something that can let Yas ult

I mean if they buffed the damage while removing his safety, he now has to look at risks vs rewards, making for some strategic thinking. But no, he just has rewards.

Honestly i would take that trade. At least then I can maybe trade 1 for 1

One wise men once said... "abandon the sinking ship!". I think there was wast and deep knowledge in that phrase...

Better check other MOBAs (Hots is fun and quite addictive), than hope riot will come to their senses.
