Yasuo nerf in 7.0.1 or 7.0.2

It should be 7.1 or 7.2. But to the point. I do not think that he should get a nerf. I like how some people say there is no counter play and build when all you need is armor and AP+MP (for mages) and armor and movement speed for other champs but if people practice playing against Yasuo, I bet you 10$ things are going to change in terms of win rates with Yasuo. Personally I dont think you can accurately measure win rates with a specific champ due to the game being a 5v5 most of the time and the win depends on the entire team as well as there level of skill and champs that they use as well. They should measure it with 1v1 situations. But back on the discussion at hand it has always been the items that Yasuo has on rather than him or his abilities. His baseline damage at lvl.18 without any extra AD is only 110. But the main build (not the new armor build) with his double crit passive makes him very powerful but still squishy if you gank him with a 2 or 3v1. And the extra magic damage that I get on my basic attacks with shiv makes it very easy to get farm and do some extra damage against champs both in solo and in team fight situations. So all in all the items the you get is what makes Yasuo so powerful rather than the base power of Yasuo or the abilities in his kit. Like how people think that the wind wall is OP but it only blocks projectiles for 4 seconds and you can walk right through it. And you can fire at Yasuo on the oposite side of that wall once you pass through. So really its a matter of placement when it comes down to that ability. Not to mention the cooldown on that ability is high even if fully leveled. And his Q is only a basic attack +100 damage once fully leveled. But the extra 100 does not get added in the critical strike that the Q can get. All the critical strikes Yasuo does whether it be a basic attack of a Q, they all get 10% reduced damage. And the E hardly does any damage without AP. And even if it only has a 0.1 sec cooldown it all depends if he has a target to do it on, and if you watch him carefully and get his movement speed impaired if you can there is no chance of him escaping. If he does escape use flash. The ult can't critically strike so its 200/300/400 plus 150% AD and ignores 50% of armor only to the champion hit by the ult and no one else. But that would not be anything without items. But I heard that he will possibly be reworked so who knows whats going to happen. DON'T F HIM UP RIOT.

Thanks for reading, leave a comment on your opinion of what should happen and why.

Got the inspiration to talk about the items from "Shadowfang TC"

Umm 50% armor pen? So if you get ulted, armor is shit unless you have 400+ and losing 200 armor only means about 5-6% more damage taken. If you have 100 armor that's 17% more damage you're taking. Also with his 300 * 2.25 = 675 damage per attack and his Q which is another attack how do you actually beat him?

"I don't think that he should get a nerf, but much rather get hid abilities debuffed just a little"

I fell off my chair when I read this

A debuff and a nurf are one in the same. I don't think Yasuo is the problem, it's the items. It has always been the items. The last nurf they took some power from his ult, and toned down some of his tanky items for the top lane. His win rate PLUMMETED. It would have done the same with just the item change. It was successful on Ekko before Yasuo, and people just naturally tested it out. If the item were to become more balanced then you wouldn't be having the problems anymore.

Yes I play Yasuo, but mostly in the mid lane. It's a whole different story there.

Two things I have come to realize, one Yasuo sucks against mages. Two Yasuo sucks against Marksmen. I just got double teamed by a Teemo and Shyvana while playing Yasuo and i'm good with him but got rekt. So if Riot reads this, good job making the decision to nerf Yasuo.

Btw is there any way we can get this board to Riot so they can read it, that would be sweet. But I learned something new today, the crit strike on the q is -25% not -10% so he could be way more broken than he is now

I will be conducting tests on Yasuo to make sure this information is correct.

The thing is though lol its not that you can't beat him, he's just so oppressive to play against, his e makes trying to chase him a huge nightmare. which i mean ok he can get away, but people are still building mallet not as early but 3-4th item for sure, on top of his chasing power, on top of him slowing you lol theres no getting away. Plus once he gets mallet hes tanky and that shield and PD passive and lets hope he doesnt get a tabi because if you auto as a champ you aint going to be doing much damage. this just makes him feel like he has a lot more resists than he does while having a pretty big damage output. Im pointing out a lot of oppressive things about yas because from what has been going around people have been saying lately its a dilemma of a champ being fun to play, but extremely oppressive to play against.

Hey guys giving you an update on Yasuo, and all of this information I am getting from the Yasuo wikia page. When you purchace Infinity Edge with Yasuo the basic attack will do more damage than his q due to the reduced 25% damage of crit on the q

i agree with you and that's why I think they need to get rid of that build considering that he was then switched to the top lane where he now has to much impact on the game as a whole because of him taking out the main fighter or tank in the team a lot early game, they should take him back to the mid lane where he is less oppressive and quite frankly, would require more skill to play than he does now.
