From the PBE today (8/7/2018)
Yasuo Last Breath (R) bonus AD increased from 150% to 250%
UPDATE: 8/8/2018
We aren't going through with the Yasuo buffs, because we can't get good alignment on a changelist that is not frustration up, but I suspect he'll be weak for this patch."
Takeda Khan99 votesI think they are trying to get yasuo and Lee to be meta in worlds so more $$$ from skins.
Cloud27334 votesI think they are trying to get yasuo and Lee to be meta in worlds so more $$$ from skins.
This is exactly the reason why they buff these champs. People see Lee and Yasuo destroy in LCS, and then they buy the skins. And considering how popular Lee and Yasuo are that's a lot of people.
Fisher No Chains45 votesGotta buy those skins you’ll never use because your champ reaches pick or ban status in SoloQ.
Worth amirite
Killer of Night941 votesThe question is why?? R can be proc by every single displace so it's not hard to use.
saltran39 votesWait...are they buffing Yasuo wtf¿¿????
Rexxiee31 votesNo idea why hes getting buffed.
Hes already at 53~52% WR bot lane so if anything i was expecting him to be nerfed, since hes pretty overpowered bot lane.
Leto GT29 votesLOL WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Nea10427 votesAnother bad joke :D They are really intentionally destroying their own game.
Dope Solo26 votesThis is probably the most shit-headed season 8 move to date.
xJLx MCHammer23 votesThey want World’s highlight where we see a lee sin flash+W+q to get behind an immobile champions like Velkoz and Ult to trigger then yasuo who’s 3 screen away to magically appear
Seriously, it’s just absurd because there are so many easy ways to trigger his ult now. Ffs a trundle can just appear and W to trigger the ult. This changes just makes it absurd when the Yas ult. ****
OHminus6 votesyou mean E right? w is the self buff, not the pillar
Resolution21 votesHonestly, is someone slipping the balance team drugs?

Slythrin Umbreon19 votesThese changes are balanced because I don't play the game anymore and don't have to deal with this shite. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
Krully13 votesnice to have input from members of the balance team
Blakiepug15 votesI love that a champion like Yasuo with a toxic kit is getting buffed in the same patch that Tahm is being gutted for having a toxic playstyle. Clearly no Riot bias at all.
GodlyBane2 votesThese buffs are waayyyy overtuned, sure. But Yasuo is easy to deal with relatively and tahm is toxic because he has infinite hp (technically) and is one of the hardest, if not the hardest champ to kill in a game. (Plus in top lane he literally wins every matchup)

Tahm does not have literally infinite hp, even though it may feel like a lot at times, and he definitely does not win every match up you throw him in top lane. Tahm Kench is one of the tankiest champion's for sure due to his grey health mechanis, sure, I can't argue that. However, anyone that plays Tahm knows that that tankiness comes at the cost of having almost nonexistent team fight potential.
Ahpe14 votesWoah.
l MrD l11 voteswhat happened to his rework because he is really banned ... not gonna lie though i know this buff is for worlds but like .... is it exciting to see yasuo comps around?... i like to see outplays like fakers zed vs zed :(

Riot decided not to rework him but did so quietly so not many people saw. Turns out they weren't willing to rework a champion as popular as Yasuo despite however toxic his kit may be.
Beautiƒul Grief11 votesWhat the f is this buff ? :DDD He is seeing competitive play every so often, and you are deciding to buff him ? What on earth is that logic ? RIOT GAMES PLEASE ? When we are down for buffing ProPlay viable champions, buff Azir for example ! That makes the same sense as buffing yasuo right now .
Glory to God9 votesYou know, I'd be surprised to see the smallest buff to Yasuo right now, being successful in both casual and competitive play.
But no. It's a one whole fucking percent AD Ratio buff. Can I have that on Poppy's ult instead? You know, so an ultimate you actually have to hit, charge, time and has a cooldown does a fair amount of damage.
Ifneth7 votesJeeeeeeeeez. That’s nuts.
Dr Dog7 voteslast game i played yas i was completely in fucking awe that my ult cd was so low all game for how good it is, last thing it needs is buffs
5050BS9 votesIKR Everything under the sun now displaceses you. Riot has gone crazy
theChibiTina6 votesAccording to op.gg Yasuo has 51% win rate and Zoe 47% win rate. Yet they're nerfing Zoe. If Yasuo gets to be buffed then Zoe should be left alone. I know if they buff her people will complain, so just leave her where she is currently instead.
5050BS3 votesNo both need nerfs still
GodlyBane5 votesWait what the actual fuck, I main yasuo, this is fucking broken, Riot cant be serious with this shit
AmWhaleIRL5 votesWhat the actual fuck, that buff is nuts
CppL5 votes20% pick ratio and 50% ban ratio.Well i guess they want him to be picked or banned 100%...I have no other explanation...

It's great, isn't it! Such a lovely community Yasuo has.
ValiantKiller5 votesIt's great, isn't it! Such a lovely community Yasuo has.
Legit copy paste to defend his toxic broken champion, as they say you got to be toxic to match your toxic champion.
VermillionWolf13 votesI main Yasuo. These changes are retarded. Yasuo didnt need buffs and even if he did, damage was the last area he needed, maybe buff his resistances if you want him to be better. But this? This is just damage for the sake of damage. Its obvious they just want a big wombo combo LC$ play where Yas final ult deals like 1k dmg to insta penta or some shit.
QsoloPro2 votesThat's what happens when you hire a balance team from the bottom of a cracker jack box.
Fisher No Chains36 votesIf you want to bring our attention to stats, then you should also note that he has a 57% ban rate and ~17% play rate in Plat+ (and these stats were pulled off a reliable source, unlike champion.gg).
And I won’t even get into details when it comes to his 95% ban rate in Korea.
aezens2 votesMay I ask which sites are good? I have been trying to find one for quite some time but everyone lacks certain information in some aspects. Usually I use several different and compare these stats but the gap can be quite huge sometimes.
Also sadly there probably won´t be a statistic of how many times yasuo player try to fight 1v5 just because they are cocky while playing a broken champion.
Fisher No Chains2 votesImo, Lolalytics and LeagueOfGraphs are the best sites for stats.
Wacky93 votesYasuo is honestly in a pretty good place right now. These buffs don't seem necessary. Yasuo's ult is fairy weak but the bonus 50% amor pen with crits is quite powerful. If anything he needs some kind of protection after the ult ends to keep him from being 100-0 into nothingness. His last breath is a shitty execute unless they are already pretty bursted, but Yasuo gets his ult up frequently enough that it doesn't matter.
(Maybe get rid of the armor pen, especially since he doesn't need more tools against tanks and replace it with 25% damage reduction)
xevi3 votesI mean this buff is pretty unnecessary since the real power of his ultimate in the mid to late game is the utility it provides his team. But he does have survivability when he ults as it refreshes his flow shield. Giving him 25% damage reduction is also a seriously dumb change. Most of tools are better against mages/adcs rather than tanks. Keeping him squishy so bad ultimate usages are easily punishable are the way to go. Keeping the armor penetration is fine compared to "other melee ADCs".

ChaddyFantome8 votesIt's a buff to his ult, which you can deny pretty easily. It's not changing what makes him strong in lane but it is giving him windows to come back into the game if he falls behind. I think they should be aiming more power neutral if that is the ONLY change he's getting. Although I think conqueror has nerfs approaching which could bring him in line?
GG no re such skill
Void Kaiju1 votesYeah his ult is weird because ally knockups trivialize the skill portion. But is that too different from how a hard CC spell from a teammate means that the enemy is going to eat your whole combo? I just don't think this is the end of the world.
3TWarrior6 votesa 100% AD bonus to a champion that can already build AD if he wants to is rather significant
