About Yasuo top

Sasogwa··2 votes·458 views

I've seen numerous Yasuo tops, with the PD-triforce-BT into tanky work extremely well and when I faced those the matchup was pretty oppressive, checked the stats and saw an increasing winrate for Yas top ; with predominantly attack speed-based builds, he can absolutely spam everything and basically dominate lane, apart from a few unfavourable matchups, I think of maybe Irelia and Darius but can't think of a lot of others.

Do you think he should be nerfed? Very slightly of course ; and also what do you think the triforce changes will bring? Will we still see triforce Yasuo? Will he get IE instead or on top of it?

If I had to nerf him, I'd probably just do sthg like Q cooldown : 4 -> 5/4.75/4.5/4.25/4 or a slight increase of the max cooldown reduction on Q via AS, but that'd be pretty harsh so maybe not. Thought about reducing the AS to CDR on Q ratio, but that'd enforce as builds like Pd triforce even more so not rly what I want. Or if anything , buff his durability (base HP?) to nerf his early game cheese damage cause it's pretty insane^^

ive seen a lot of them aswell. just ban them out, or pick malphite or nasus into him.

im sure there are others that work well. overall i havent had a lot of issues with them.

Yasuo definitely is not a problem right now, he's not weak either though. Triforce being changed will be a nerf to him as well. Yasuo doesn't really benefit from CDR. Although he does benefit from attack speed. However instead of stacking Triforce on top of IE he could easily go another tank item instead, or BT or Bork, something more relevant to his kit than triforce.
