@Riot Why do you never take boards suggestions when it comes to balance.
Then you go and try to buff
for no fucking reason.

Are you ok...? you sound angry you should find serinity my friend
Yasuo is being buffed because, hm.. that's what we do with weak champions!
Yasuo is not weak by any means! No other champion in the game can use other champions knockups to make more knockups or block 151 projectiles or dash around endlessly and has 100% crit with 2 items.
Even if i suppose your hyperbole is right, other champions can do better than that right now they can just kill him endlessly in lane and win the game quickly
Pre-season hard nerfed yasuo (which he didn't deserve btw) by removing mr runes! and fervor! both of those issues are going to be fixed with the mr/lvl buff and +20 damage on Q
though i have to agree the ult should not be buffed!
46% average win rate is completely reasonable for Yasuo for the exact same reason why Ryze and pre-rework LB were kept at that level. And similar to other older cases like Olaf, Urgot, Azir and whatnot, Yasuo's problem is also like them, entirely in the high level design of the champ, and to deal with that Riot typically just nerfs them down and wait for rework. Hence more reasons to actually nerf him and keep him down there.
But that's not what happens with Yasuo, Riot buffs him instead. And you know exactly why this is going to happen, because even a Rioter has said that this change mostly makes through even though it contradicts all of their previous actions and general ideology, and risks disastrous results even though it is clearly obvious to literally everybody, purely because Yasuo is "popular", which basically just means they listened to some of the whining from god knows where and decided that they want to go with it.
"that's what we do with weak champions!" Yeah right, where's the buff for Skarner (a champion exclusively played by handful of diehards and veterans and still only sport 47% win rate) I fucking wonder?
In the end of the day, it's really just Riot selectively picking certain subset of dumb opinions to open their ears to. That's kinda the summary of this.
It's also quite ironic of you to say "i'm glad riot doesn't listen to the board", but then this change supposed not from the silly, silly, Boards is just Riot getting their memo from another source that is equally "stupid" or more so than Boards anyway. So?
46% average win rate

Just because you are dumb and Riot selectively pick which dumb opinions to listen to, it doesn't make you right.
now that's just mean! i can be stupid too and this is why i don't want riot to listen to me!
and i shall say that i do not "select" which "dumb" opinion to listen to, i just calmly analyze the opinion and see what we can get with it. hm.
You could use a source that Riot has confirmed to be the closest to their internal database, OPGG, instead.
EDIT: Though he's currently stuck in 44-45% atm for some reason, even tho I just checked yesterday (given I was having conversation with it so I had to check) and it was at 46%. I blame it on the lowbies dragging the stats down because they heard Yasuo is getting buffed.
... Op.gg has not been confirmed to be anything, meddler just used it sometimes in the past
i doubt that riot only balance the game around korea!!! we exist too

I distinctively remember Rioters confirming on Twitter or something claiming that OPGG has the closest data to their in-house bookkeeping.
Korea has pushed the game the farthest. Ofc their stats are more relevant.
Because boards is full of stupid people upvoting other stupid people. We have a swarm of people who think yas is broken with a low winrate in the hands of mains. Things people think are good ideas that riot and people with common sense know are idiotic: Buffing the entire mage class right now. Nerfing duskblade. Not buffing yasuo. Buffing tanks. Nerfing literally any midlaner that isnt a mage. Not buffing fighters. If you ever thought one of those things chances are you’re never gonna see them for obvious reasons your bias is blinding you from.
Don't think it'll be a good idea to listen to my buffs. ;)
