Yasuo was released 5 years ago and wind wall still isn't reworked

From ARAMs to clown fiestas with yasuo bot lane, It feels so UNFAIR that one champion can use an ability to not only intercept projectiles BUT COMPLETELY NULL THE DAMAGE. The wind wall last for 4 seconds, That's a whole MF ultimate w/ everyone casting their spells as well. You cannot trade with him, he'll hide behind his wall with his god like mechanics. People say just like with illaoi ultimate, the best way to counter it is to walk away. I can understand that yasuo's "weakness" is being kited, but if you're in lane. He'll dash to every minion to catch up our even worse when you're trying to land abilities as a mage. He has 8 or 7 free dashes to dodge any skill shot. Late game, he's an absolute monstrosity with crit, true damage. What really grinds my gears was when they reworked IE and yasuo IMMEDIATELY gets compensation buffs to boot. I could list examples of champions that have been negatively impacted by a next patch. We have tool tip bugs, another 20 mordekaiser bugs, BUT WE GOTTA MAKE SURE OUR BOI YASUO IS SITUATED. Here's my edgy and personal opinion, riot will only cater to the playerbase. Pretty simple to understand. They will only cater to champions with the highest playerbase. Even riot jokes about how yasuo was a mistake on the league subreddit with ban Yasuo. You think they're being ironic? No. This game was made by a silver balance team. They do not have skilled players designing this game. Do you think they ever ask master or challenger player, even LCS players their input or even making a poll system just for master and challenger player on potential changes that could impact the game? We'll never know, but I highly doubt they ever do. We have THE worst "whatever professional title a person that adds stats or removes stats from a champion every patch" job. By far the laziest in design. Even the new reworks like aatrox are a total joke, Aatrox mains on the subreddit because riot originally went to them for their input on the rework and what could help, then stopped replying all together. God I fucking hate this company ever since they sold out to tencent. The people with the greatest vision sold this game out, shame on them. They could have made this game so much more fun for years to come, but they just sold it. Said fuck it all, I want muh millions. I hope it was worth it tryndamere and everyone else. This game will be another stain that only people with mental deficiencies use as their containment game, so they don't go shoot up their local college. Unless some runs down mid as nunu and never gets banned. Like every other game with this bad report system. As long as I don't use trigger words in the report system, I'm literally a free man to do whatever I want. Riot is so lazy, they only have "triggers". Meaning if you run down mid a couple times, it will obviously punish you, because it's a classic scenario. What they don't know is if you pick nunu and grief your jungler AND run around in the jungle feeding, YOU WILL NEVER BE BANNED. This game is just a casino, with flashy lights and effects, but nothing meaningful. If you play this game, there will be times where you have fun, but this game is too streamlined for unique gameplay. You're forced to play a certain way. That's it

yasuo = cancer

If you're the type of the guy to keep attacking the Yasuo when WW is active then you need to walk away or outplay him, or do that after 4 seconds when the ability goes on a TWENTY SIX seconds cool down.

#If you want a serious discussion make a detailed thread here at the Boards or a post at Yasuo/R

it hasn't been reworked because it isn't a problem. shitters and """enchanter""" support players (is there a difference, really) are the only ones constantly crying about it

Windwall is fine.

But if you want to get rid of that then remove braums shield too.

just reduce the duration and that's all I'd want

make the duration 2 seconds all ranks

At this point as a Yasuo player I'd love to see Wind Wall changed into an entirely different defensive skill. Some type of parry skill because in most RPGs and those kinds of games, samurai are very good at counter-attacking and blocking. Wind Wall is a unique type of counter-skill, but combined with the rest of his kit has shown to be extremely frustrating to play against.

I'd love to see a different type of defensive skill on his W. I think Irelia's new W would've been a really cool skill for Yasuo. Having a projectile defense skill instead of an all-around duelist-defense skill feels lame sometimes and I find myself wishing for a more duelist-related defensive.

There are so many other problems with this game right now, and you want to pick on something that you can easily bait out, time, and walk around?

Lol

The simplest and obvious solution is the only and easiest solution. Learn your matchup, don't throw all your abilities at once, and learn his cooldowns. if you can't do that, or can't comprehend what I'm saying, then waste a ban on him that you could have used for other, un-counter-able champs in midlane right now.

Wind Wall has no place to possess as much defensive power as it does on an assassin character. It'd be fine on a tank or a support, but an assassin possessing team-wide defensive utility is just bad. It should just be a self-buff, or have a hard limit on the number of projectiles it can block. And I mean 1 or 2, not 10.
