@Riot Are you going to do anything about Yasuo?

I mean I don't know if its just me but Yasuo isn't viable anymore against anyone? I went 5/1 in a game and my mid-late game damage just vanished and it failed to exist. I really don't know what happened. My early game was so weak and I needed a lot of jungler ganks and then I stopped scaling into my "hyper-carry late game" as Yasuo is supposed to be. Are you guys planning on doing anything with Yasuo soon? I mean his early is too easy to fight against with an AP champion mage or Zed. Yasuo needs some form of early game power or late game. He doesn't have any of that.

yasuo is good now, doesnt need buff. if ur 5/1 in mid game you should have at least ie shiv and outdamage everyone already, my conclusion is that ur just bad

I didn't get a single kill on my own. The first 3 were from jungler ganks. The other 2 is from roaming bot because they were so far pushed.

By "5/1" did you mean "6/12/5"? Where you lost to a Syndra? And were no way 5/1 at any point in the game? You also had very low kill participation compared to your opponent.

He does a lot of damage, simply you, and your team, performed really poorly. Also, as far as I know, you shouldn't be maxing Q over E either. So, it's nothing to do with Yasuo being weak.

I don't think that was the right game. It was a while back game. Yeah it was the wrong game. That game you referred to was very recent where I actually did good early and then got rekt by poor positioning and bad communication through my team. Yeah probably should have maxed E

Yeah they made his early game super shitty but also his mid and late game as well. It sucks when you get fed and dive someone in the team with ult and get no damage for it

Exactly. They made him too "assassin like"

I have to question your skills a 5/1 yasuo shoudl dominate a game. He still does a ton of damage. Unless you went full tank. You shouldve carried the game regardless of how the 5 kills got allocate to you

They just need to buff his base hp back up and his movement speed as well. They lowered from 350 to 340 then back to 345.

Pretty much. He needs his scaling back

It's a messed up situation. Pre-nerf Yasuo was banned easily in 80% of the games due to how he synergizes with so many champions and his overloaded kit in general. Post nerf Yasuo wins 30% of games due to a really horrible early game because Riot preferred to nerf his base HP instead of the kit (which was and still is problematic back when he was banned everywhere).

I really can't think of anything to take away while giving Yasuo's HP back, without taking away the champion's identity, and this is mainly because all his kit is his identity, which makes him really hard to balance as a champion.

Yeah those days. I really think his early game should come back as well. His kit is too fragile to be changed. He needs his early game to do well late game or he just needs to be late game like the old trist or something. Possibly just like a riven? I mean she does a lot of damage while being somewhat tanky with a shield that is what yasuo should have late game.

I max E on yasuo almost 100%

What yasuo build do you people prefer? I usually go Shiv, IE, Berserkers, BT, LW, and Randuins or GA
