Yasuo Rework

Sanjibal··1 votes·824 views

Yasuo needs a rework. His early game is too wonky, and he needs a better late game. His itemization is too clean-cut, and his mobility is unreliable to both him and his enemies. Here are some of my proposals:

The main change he needs is a less overwhelming early game, but better scaling. Way of the Wanderer: at level 1 Yasuo retains his passive Resolve (the shield one). Later on through the game Yasuo can gain other bonuses such as his double crit chance (late-mid game), lower cooldowns per target on his Dash E (ie dashing lowers the cooldowns on other rings Yasuo has already dashed through or kills and assists reset the rings), bonus range on some of his abilities (he'll lose some early on, but have a net gain later on), his Q applying more on-hit affects (past the first hit, this'll be granted later on as well, around late game), or even extra bonuses to his ult (since you want to use your ult at the begging of a fight, maybe it can do percent of the enemies CURRENT health as damage, or ulting grants Yasuo bonus tenacity for 15 seconds or so). A lot of these are unrelated to each other, and would also require nerfs to balance, such as: lower base range, longer cooldowns earlier on, or even mana costs (I doubt this one though.). I'd like to hear all of your ideas and comments or questions as well. Maybe Yasuo should be able to dash through allies, but he can't dash through them unless they're in range of enemy champions, so as to not abuse it outside of teamfights? (I read that one on this forum some time ago). Anyways, I can't wait to hear your suggestions. Thanks!

Please. Yasuo is one of the most well designed champions in the game. I don't think you understand him.

He falls off too hard though. He needs a fix either with better sustain to survive burst, or more dashes to dodge burst.

Or maybe you should learn how to play him better. My team just got owned by a Yasuo a few games ago.

You are saying a champion with a zero CD dash needs more dashes...there is no helping you.

Yasuo's damage late game rivals ADCs and frankly against tanks is far superior due to the armor shred he gets from his ult, hell I would say just flat out superior since he tends to sport 90% crit when ADCs only have 45%.

If you are falling off with Yasuo or having issues with a lack of mobility while playing him the issue is between the chair and the keyboard. Frankly Yasuo needs to be trash tier until riot fixes that stupid E that makes him flat out impossible to balance.

What? Yasuo is a snowball champ. He is designed to get kills and overpower everyone else. If you've got to the point in the game where everyone has their full build then you're probably playing Yasuo wrong. Yasuo is my most played champion and I'd have to disagree with you that Yasuo's late game is weak, in fact, it's when he's at his strongest.

He is fine, it is just that the meta isn't in his favor
