It's just fucking stupid.It's not even challenging to knock someone up on yas especially if you have a knock up comp. A 18 sec CD at 40% CDR, he can use that shit twice in an extended team fight. Yas has a lot of bull shit in his kit and this isn't even his most annoying thing. A champ with an overloaded kit like yas should at least have a CD on his ult.

Edit: stop talking about yas not building CDR, that isn't the fking point, and also he has very viable options for CDR but the main thing is the 30 sec base

Remember when they nerfed Irelia's ult so "it wouldn't be back up as soon as she got back to lane"?

Lol.

"18 seconds at 40% CDR" means nothing to Yasuo.

He builds no CDR, so that is irrelivant.

Just saying.

While I think thirty seconds is ridiculous as an ult cooldown, I feel like it should be significantly lower than most other ults, due to its reliance on outside factors. Just because there are a ton of knockups/displacements in the game, doesn't mean that Yasuo should ult off of every one that's landed. Yasuo's ult is relatively difficult to use, in the sense of when to ult, not the mechanics involved. blinking into the middle of the enemy team, even with a passive refresh is inherently dangerous, and since off-tank bruiser yasuo is no longer meta, it's even more dangerous to blink into the enemy team.

I feel like a reasonable change would be to make his ult cd 80/60/40 (from 80/55/30) to start, and see where that leaves him. Another change that may work well is increasing Last Breath's cd, and having the ult's remaining cooldown be reduce-able by doing something with him (ie, landing a Q on an enemy champion reduces the cooldown by 1s) or something weird and conditional like that.

that's not even the problem, i have a bigger problem with his ulti being used on other knock ups

skirmishers are supposed to have troubles to engage a fight, which is the case for yasuo when he is outside of a lane but if he has an ally wukong this problem disappear.

by the way i never saw a yasuo with 40% cdr
