Yas gets a partial rework on his buff

And that legendary -3 ad.

Look riot I know you pulled out of your plans to do a miniature rework on yasuo because he's one of your games most popular characters but you seriously can't pretend like this guy isnt continously problematic. Since his release to this very day people have hated playing against him, whether he's weak strong or somewhere inbetween the wind walking weeaboo finds a way to aggrevate whoever is unfortunate enough to have to play against him.

He's difficult to punish having a built in shield mechanic, He's resourceless, Doubles his crit so he can power spike way earlier then most champs who rely on it to gate their power, His Q functions 1-1 as an auto allowing him to apply all sorts of on hits or if he pleases life steal to keep himself toped up, his ult gives him armor pen for 15 seconds avoids tower range by design as if to handhold the player when making aggresive plays they probably ought not to be. Wind wall.

He need's work riot you made a monster with this champ, he's a high dps champion that can build like a bruiser blow up squishies and slice through tanks it's absurd. His versatility is virtullay unrivaled amongst melee champs, want burst damage just build like a marksmen and spam q want some more durability build items like steraks deaths dance and phantom dancer and you don't even have to sacrifce damage at all. And i hopefully i don't even have to remind you that tank yasuo was a thing because rushing one crit item and then buying enough health to make blush while doing more damage then most top laners is fun and interactive for the enemy.

These slaps on the wrist when yasuo reaches absurd heights of power arent enough this character at his core is just flawed in the extreme, and the funny thing is we've done this before any person who played this game back in the day remembers the reign of the god tier burst damage dealing teleporting demigod that needed to be picked or banned and had the entire community in agreement that he needed adjustments however riot let the character sit the way he was for reasons unknown letting him continue to be problematic.

The thing is kass existed at a time where the roster was a lot smaller and singular champs could potentially define an entire niche, now we have a greater variety than ever but even with the increase in options available we continue to yas appear time and again as a problem, one that always gets swept away with the excuse that they will "address it later" or "we want to see how the new item/rune changes effect him" any excuse to not nip the problem in the bud it's been years of this same cycle now it's time to do something.
