Please kill Yasuo as an assasin.

And reintroduce him as a sustained damage carry. His assasin playstyle is realy unfit for him and it already drowe you to cutting like half of what was his kit at release. And all of this was to preserwe him as a guy who kills you in one second ... not to mention that you are knocked up for all this time.

His kit allows him to have a realy interesting and health playstyle, why is it killed on behalf of q ult q to kill

Totally agree, his kit could be incredible fun and healthy, useing your mobillity to survive, not only by dodging stuff but also building up the shield, landing the Qs to get the kockup for the ult, which fits his 'way of the wandere' theme perfectly. Building up E and Q stacks also gives him a kinda geathering storm feeling which fits greatly. The only thing that doesn't fit is the crit for insta killing squishys.

Just revert most off his nerfs, maybe keep the base health nerf to put more focus on the shield, and remove the crit from passive and Q. Now he's a utillity bruiser, haveing still some good constant dps, but mostly alot mobillity+low cd aoe knockups and the windwall.

So your opinion is oudated and irrelevant, nice, no need to waste more time on this thread, you admitted you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to the CURRENT YASUO.

First of all, Yasuo doesn't have high mobility or high burst. He has high sustained damage. An Assassin needs MOBILITY AND BURST ON DEMAND, Yasuo doesn't have either.

Keep playing your custom games and staying unranked, instead of pretending to know what you are talking about.

If your teamcomp has a knockup on demand, he he will have long ranged mobillity on demand, and even without, his E is quite potent if used right. And with SS+IE, you rarly will need more than 2-3 AAs, 2Qs and your R for an squishy, which needs about 2sec, from which the target is atleast 1.5 cced. I would call that burst.

"IF"

When you say "IF", then the requirement of "ON DEMAND" is no longer ON DEMAND. His E is trash WITHOUT minion waves.

Yasuo doesn't have on demand mobility nor burst, don't pretend to he has. He needs certain conditions before he can utilize his kit, which makes him a fighter, not an Assassin. I don't need minion waves or knock ups when I play an actual Assassin like Zed/Talon, I can engage when I want.

Sire Hippington1 votes

omg, you actually have to care for the teamcomp with your champion... Not that it's all to hard to charge up the Q and land the knockup yourself. Many assasins have to land a skillshot for their assasitnation combo. if you can't totally faceroll to assasinate someone, your suddenly not an assasin or what.

same as fiora. at least shes looking at a rework though. i just hope it makes her more into a mobile melee carry like yasuo, like guinsoo planned, and not more into an assassin.

{quoted}

Master Yi is actually an Assassin because he has on demand mobility and burst damage. Yasuo was a fighter from release and is a fighter now, he doesn't have mobility on demand or burst on demand.

yi is the definition of a melee adc. i think hes tagged as assassin, but thats not quite right. if played correctly, he can keep himself going and auto attacking by dodging abilities with alpha strike through an entire fight.

though this playstile requires an incredible amount of mechanical skill and reaction. its easier to play him as a cleanup assassin who goes in and finishes people off after most of the fight already happened.

yasuo is a different approach. even though i havent played the champion much, its one i quite like. though i agree, they could shift the focus a little more to his shield sustain, and off the dependency to burst people like a caster.

but one way or the other, all melee adc deal crazy amounts of damage to squishies by lategame. its not different to ranged adc in that regard, where a jinx rocket can chunk a squishy for half of its health if it crits.

main reason i look up to that rework hoping something great will come off it

thats something i think he should get

and at the same time some smoothiing on his damage curve he can explode realy hard becoming a guy who goes into enemy base alone and goes out with a penta on his back

and i think that most of his nerfs were aimed at making him work for that harder and harder

IIRC His ultimate is actually a suspension. You can QSS it to remove the additional CC. Oddly this doesn't work like Vi's which you assume would.

You can't have sustained damage melees in LoL that aren't bruisers with CC. Melee carries get killed too easily, as people just CC them and nuke them in 2 seconds. That's why Master Yi is played as an assassin now as well. If you can't kill someone in 1 second, you'll die the next second. Melee carries have it rough in LoL.

yasuo was designed to be one, the first one who has tools to adress the problems of a meele carry

his shield had to serwe 2 purposes one was to block ranged harras early second was to block the burst attempts ensuring that he gets to survive in the teamfight

his infinite dash was to make him able to catch up to people his ult to make him catch up to rangeds his windwall to nulify the adwantage ranged champions have ower him (this was actualy meant to look a tad diferent but ewolwed as an utility skill, he was meant to like cut bullets in midair ... or something close to that feeling) his arpen to make him able to churn tanks easier (he trades the safety of a ranged champ for offensive power )

anyway he has the tools, but his ballance pushed him somewhere else

simple example would be elise first many played her as a mage then nerfs came and people used her as a tank becuase she still possesed some good base damage and realy good utility ballance dictates that people can do with the champion, yasuo was forced to be an assasin, what is left is what needs to work

That wouldn't be good at all. Melee sustained damage carries can't really exist in this game unless they are tanky Bruisers like Irelia or Jax and even then they still have more assassin like damage than sustained damage. If Yasuo was reworked into a melee sustained damage carry his kit would have to look completely different for that to even begin to work. That's why you don't see any of the melee carries played as sustained damage but rather high burst.

Fiora MasterYi Pantheon Riven Shaco Talon Yasuo If these guys all had sustained damage rather than high burst they would completely suck. They rely on taking you down quickly so they can kill people in teamfights. If yasuo couldn't kill you fast enough he would be useless and die. If yi had sustained damage rather than high burst he would be useless.

Also, Yasuo generally has low burst compared to other Assassins unless he's really ahead and he actually is sorta a sustained damage type of Assassin. If you look at this video you can see that most of the time I don't kill people right away like Fiora, Yi, Tryndamere, etc. would

Edit: I've played a ton of games with him and I speak from experience. If you don't believe me play 10 or 15 games with him.

yasuo was designed to break that

his primary concept was to be a meele adc

i had like 60 rankeds last season

i think that the tools he is provided are able to actualy sustain him as the champion he was intended to be ... but the direction of numerical balance pushes him to rely on his insane damage ower anything else ... this he becomes an assasin

Yi has no burst without crit. It is his sustained damage that makes him scary, not his burst. I have 300+ games on Yi over 2 seasons.

Burst > Sustain. Hp bars in this game are pathetic...
