Yasou Buff?

Oakleaf Ranger·Jul 10, 2016·2 votes·634 views

Before reading let me say I am not a Yasou fan boy and dislike his player base. However that should not be a valid reason for a champion to be mediocre. Overall he isn't bad and definitely not the worse but the one thing I think that sucks about him is his shield. It okay in the early to mid game but then that thing becomes useless pretty quick. As a dive and melee champion it seems like he needs more survivability to not straight up die like it currently feels like. Personally his team fighting is where it specifically needs a boost so maybe an even stronger shield then normal for using his ultimate that could increase depending on how many champions get caught in it? I like the last these ideas since it would solve his problem but still be dependent on Yasou to get a good ultimate off with as many people in it. Please just don't hit my face is all I ask.

As someone who constantly defends Yasuo, I say he's fine. Fuck, fine enough to have a critless tank build and still deal respectable amounts of damage (not Tank Ekko at prime amounts of damage but still). Though I mostly blame the emergence of Tank Yasuo on the fact that new Triforce is too good. Even if not building tank, Yasuo still usually goes for two to three items that will beef him up so that he doesn't blow up immediately anyways.

Thing is, no matter if the yasuo is 0-15 or 15-0. If he lands one good tornado on the adc or squishy mid laner its pretty much free team fight win. Theres been many many times where the enemy yasuo got sidestepped on all his tornados, boom i got hit by one as the adc 40 minutes in. Lost the game to a 3-15 yas.

Also yasuo will ALWAYS have utility. He will always have windwall and a non-resource knock up after 2 Qs. He has utility. Thats crazy considering he outputs major damage. Then he gets 50% armor pen after his ult.

The point of his passive is to absorb something when he goes in. His no CD dash is to make it easy to navigate around after ulting.

Honestly yasuo gets no love from me. Id gut that champion so fast. I cant stand him

I feel you my instincts tell me to gut him in front of his fan boys and drink their tears but that would make us no better then animals now would it? 40 minutes in is late game though and usually by that point everyone has reached or is near max level and items with high death timers so one good team fight can win the game at that point. His passive is supposed absorb something but currently I think it does a pretty poor job of that which is why I think it needs a buff. It absorbs very little and usually just gets blown up since he just got in everyone's face. HIs dash is very conditional and predictable while still leaving him targetable the whole time so it not really that great as he melts trying to dash around. His knock up also requires 2 Q's beforehand so for him to get it off in teamfights means he has to hit something beforehand, minions get cleared pretty fast when grouped and I doubt he going to trying walking up to the front line to try and build them up. Wind wall is pretty meh most of the time everyone just backs off whenever he throws it out and wait for it to come down before going back in. So he has utility but its pretty underwhelming if you ask me.
