Yasuo Needs a Nerf A.S.A.P
Yasuo, the beloved top/mid laner known for his high skill cap and amazing opportunity for outplay has been buffed incredibly in the last patch (5.22). In his passive, Yasuo's critical strike chance is doubled, but his critical strikes deal 90% damage, reduced to 75% damage on Steel Tempest. Upon reading this, all seems normal, but upon building critical strike chance weapons such as
Statikk Shiv and
Infinity Edge, you're critical strike chance is increase to 100% (Infinity Edge = +20% crit chance / Statikk Shiv = +30% crit chance). If this isn't enough to convince a nerf, there is something that is even more broken.
"Warlord's Bloodlust," the Ferocity Mastery grants you the following:
-Heals for 15% of damage dealt
-+20 attack speed for 4 seconds (4 second cooldown)
This means that Yasuo does not need to have built a
Bloodthirster in order to have lifesteal, it is built automatically into his mastery. This means that by roughly level 10, with adequate-at-best farm, you can still be a wrecking force. I recently played a game with a Yasuo, that I went 3-0-0 against as
Twisted Fate, but upon him acquiring Statikk Shiv, not only melted me in a short burst, but got a Triple Kill all based on lifesteal. You can imagine what he did to us after having Shiv, IE and Bloodthirster. Riot, please for the love of God nerf both the mastery and Yasuo's passive. They are both dumb and unfair. Discuss your thoughts if you would like.
