yas nurf/limiting just a little.
Does anyone else think yasuo's steel tempest needs another hit to complete his tornado. its a little too quick of a crowd control skill during fights. ive seen multiple times yas get off 3 or 4 tornadoes in short duration fights. i think a 4 hit steel tempest would make all the difference in terms of balance. 5 might be too much to the point of being short handed all the time in fights as yasuo. laning against a yasuo is near impossible (assuming the player is not a first timer or novice with yas) when every 8 to 10 secs yas has a tornado. you spend half the time trying to dodging it even before sweeping blade comes into play. that's playing against him as any champion.
Sweeping Blade is a skill way too spamful in early game. not only does he have a tornado for you to try and dodge, but sweeping blade allows him to get a point blank shot at you at no cost. its already hard enough to get away from 2 dashes like renekton, or 3 like riven. Yasuo on the other hand is limited to how ever many minions/creatures/champions are near by. which usually is 6 to 7 dashes every wave during laning phase. 6 dashes is way too many for a poking strike every ten seconds when yasuo's crit is already doubled. not even yi has that much of a chance to poke and not get poked back. not only can yasuo poke you every 10 seconds HARD and get away out of range, but his passive shield makes it even harder to stand a chance against him. even if you get a shot off it really doesnt hurt him. Also, you have to watch out for his tornado. Once again, this is talking about a player that is not a first timer or a novice with this champion. 2 or 3 dashes would be fine to gives us a chance to retaliate due to the area distance. later game sweeping blade is still an impossible skill to match up with. he will get to you and its hard to target him in team fights. yi's alpha strike does the same thing but its only a second long. 5 to 6 dashes in team fight is a long duration of screen jumping around. if you are in a lane and you get a full string of minions....forget it. either he's getting to you or he's getting away. not even worth trying.
not saying rework him completely, but just limit his abilities just a tad bit. i mean he doesn't use mana, an nor does he consume energy. yes it takes skill to play and master him, but it doesn't take long to know how he functions. he's an awesome champ, but i just think he needs a little limiting.
