A passive that buffs your champion even harder just by buying one thing? Yasuo That sounds really fucking familiar, HMM. I wonder who also has that imbalance of gaining too much benefit for just buying one thing? Yasuo Never heard of another champion getting his abilities benefited by a passive that also gives him more overall damage. Yasuo Nope, never heard of it at all.

Who said that out of curiosity? Our intent with the Azir Passive/W change was to take power out of the early part of his mid game so he didn't spike as hard. It wasn't because champions getting additional benefit from certain stats was something we felt was inherently flawed.

If we needed to nerf Yasuo in that same time window a similar approach might be appropriate, that's not the case at present though.

I'm pretty sure Yasuo's passive doesn't give him other stats for buying crit. Nice try though.

Yasuo's crits are also weaker than normal crits

They need to make his dash have an actual CD in the landing phase Put it at a 4/3/2/1/.25 sec CD on liking it and it would be more balanced
