I sincerely despise Yasuo. So much so, that I hope he gets gutted.

But, instead, here's my take on the make him more healthy.

Passive: Way of the Wanderer: Sheath: Every 4 seconds, after Yasuo attacks. If he has not attacked or used an ability, he will sheath his sword. While Sheathed, Yasuo's crit chance is doubled, and his next ability will have a bonus effect. Flow: Basically his shield from moving around.

Q: Steel Tempest: Yasuo slashes his sword in a crescent shape in front of him, dealing physical damage to all enemies hit. Additionally, Yasuo's Steel Tempest can block a single projectile if timed correctly.

Sheath Bonus: This ability can critically strike and is treated as a basic attack. Steel Tempest's cool down is reduced based on attack speed.

W: Wanderer's Flow: Passive: Yasuo gains movement speed based on his Flow.

Active: Yasuo slashes the air, creating a wall of wind that travels in a line. All enemies hit by the wall are knocked up and take a small amount of physical damage.

Sheath Bonus: Wind wall travels faster and can block projectiles.

E: Sweeping Blade: Yasuo dashes a fixed distance towards target enemy, dealing magic damage. The distance traveled scales with how much flow he has before casting. Max flow will cause him to dash 500 units. No flow will make him dash 100 units. Sweeping Blade consumes 25% of his flow on cast.

Sheath Bonus: Yasuo dashes twice as fast.

R: Last Breath: Yasuo dashes through a target champion, dealing a massive amount of damage and immediately sheathing his sword right after. If Yasuo kills an enemy with this ability, he is granted maximum Flow. If Yasuo's target is 300 units away from him, he will dash 300 units BEHIND his target.

Sheath Bonus: Yasuo inflicts true damage instead of physical damage.

Thoughts?

While I doubt Riot would do this, honestly quite a good concept.

I also want Yasuo to be gutted but I think this would overpower him even more. Take out the ult true damage and everything else is probably fine. Good concept.

In all honesty is it just that people don't know how to play around Yasuo and or counter him? (Example, lack of harass due to fear of yasuo or not choosing a proper or decent counter?) I play a lot of Yasuo and you definitely run into people who choose to play so passively against a yasuo which honestly opens up a huge window for him to shine... Also those who choose to go aggressive into him and know his mechanics do well against him. Like a simple auto to keep the shield down. And windwall... whatever it helps but it's on such a long cool down and honestly if you see a yasuo dump his windwall a player should know better than to dump his or her whole wad into it. Again I'm not trying to stir the pot, just an honest return question at this point

He's overloaded compared to other champions. 50% armor penetration, passive shield, he can block ults, he can reduce the cooldown of his Q by .5..which isn't really ok. He doesn't have any general weakneses like the other champs. Look at ryze, very high damage but short range. And then the tank build just makes him even more unhealthy.

And yet Ryze is one of those champs who can make Yasuos life a living hell, despite having his shield (which can instantly be taken off with a measly auto attack) and his armor pen doesn't mean anything when you're stunned into your death. Tactics is all I'm saying, use them to beat a champ... I despise Zed, but I learn to play around him (still sucks but can be done)
