Yasuo's {Passive} might be changed because everyone can have it, But Wukong's Stone skin won't?

For anyone who doesnt know what I'm talking about, 's Passive is called {Stone Skin} and it gives you 8 armor+MR for each nearby enemy at lvl 16 resulting in 40 additional Armor and MR lategame.
The design team created an item that gives the same passive with the same name {Stone Skin} but gives you 40 Armor + MR with only 3 nearby enemies.

and now that the new doubles your critical strike {Yasuo's Passive} , the design team is thinking of changing 's passive because of that, or at least it's one of the reasons.

You see, you have the ability to work on any champion and hot fix them in a day, but because Wukong is not popular at all , yeah, you still have no idea what to do with him.

Bonus: now Wukong's passive is even less existent because of the Last whisper changes.

TBH, they could just remove that part of Yasuo's passive.

Bisaknosp6/6/2018, 10:32:08 AM53 votes

eh why are they not just removing it? why does he need 2 passives?

And then you have Shyvana with 5 armor/mr. Feels good.

Khazix item 3147 item 3151 Jhin item 3095 Garen item 3083 DrMundo item 3065 Heimerdinger item 2053 Jax item 3124 Kayle item 3091 + item 3071 Nasus item 3072 Orianna item 3115 item 3046 Sivir TahmKench item 3748 a lot of champs have passives that are really similar to items.

Yasuo's garbage, and can't build anything other than PD + IE. His passive restrict (build wise), IE is sh*t for him (build path). And he was nerfed... but wasn't targeted by riot.

You see, you have the ability to work on any champion and hot fix them in a day, but because Wukong is not popular at all , yeah, you still have no idea what to do with him.

No, this is stupid as conclusion. Yasuo kit is healthy for the game, Wukong's one isn't. You talk about Wukong passive, but his whole kit is an issue.

Who care ???

Tldr : rework Wukong already.

Where did you see that the design team is thinking about changing yasuo passive?

It was the same with Lissandra passive and manaflow band. ( yes I know they changed mb eventually, but it still counts

Your bonus fact makes no sense though. Wukong's passive gives bonus resistances and not base resistances, meaning the change from %bonus to %total literally doesn't change anything to his passive.

The reason here is the same just like with lux kata having 10+ skins popularity of certain champions make riot change those popular ones while champs like wu urgot stay the same.

LW changes didn't affect Wu Kong's passive at all, since it's bonus armor.

yasuo's passive is getting changed not because "everyone can have it" but because the crit changes utterly shat on him, whether or not "everyone gets double crit chance"

the only realistic crit cap without wasting a bunch of stats is 60% rn, and yasuo needs the 100% to be worth anything after laning. his build got more expensive, his damage got nerfed, a power spike was deleted, and he has no choice but to waste stats

the fact that other champions can now get 10% more crit than before with 2 items while never realistically getting any higher has nothing to do with whether or not yasuo got shit on

the crit changes force ADCs to not be 80-100% crit sniper assassins while also forcing yasuo to give up his core build or waste the ie passive and 20% crit

nothing is ideal for yasuo rn

Lissandra's passive wasn't changed when the first version of Manaflow Band existed either. Infact it made her better as it gave her 2 free abilities. They ended up changing the the rune in the end.

Would a change on Yasuo turning him into a fighter (removing double crit and upping autos back to 1 autos, not 0.9) instead of forcing him to build crit because of his passive help? Would this change his identity too much? Would it make players who like the Yasuo flash plays and 'crits' turn off the champ?
