Why the actual fuck is it 30 seconds rank 3 with no CDR? Oh I know, because he cannot use his ult whenever he feels like. But what about Kai'sa, Swain and there are some others. They cannot use their ultimates anytime they want but their ults are over 60 seconds? Why? Why is there so much bias towards this overloaded, auto win bullshit?
Because Swain's ultimate is way more impactful in teamfights 99% of the time, and Kai'sa's ultimate just requires her to damage a champion/team lands hard CC. Yasuo's ult still requires someone to be knocked up or displaced, it's much less reliable.
This fucking champion can use ult on any fucking displacement or knockup. He can ult on Alistar Q and Janna Q but he can also ult on stupid shit like Diana E, Thresh E and more that displace targets for like 0.2 seconds, but he can use ult on them to turn that 0.2 second CC into 1.2 second CC.
Yes, well it's still limited in it's availability, but it is an ultimate. It extends CC for that reason. You could say that about any ultimate, like Ornn's ultimate, Malphite's ultimate, Sejuani's, etc. Yasuo also isn't the tankiest of champions, and a bad ult can throw a fight easily.
Also why does he get bonus armor penetration on every target? Even targets that haven't been knocked up with Yasuo R still take extra damage.
-Firstly, it only applies to critical strikes. So before level 10 (I would say that's about the average point for PD-IE builds if it's ever even taken) his ultimate is infrequent RNG with the penetration. Sure, 60% crit chance is good but it's not going to be 100% of the time.
-Secondly, he's not the tankiest champion, he needs to be rewarded with something other than a 300ish damage ultimate and a 1 second knockup. Without the bonus armor pen, his ultimate would be super weak.
If he should keep 30 second CD rank 3, make it so he has to set up his own knockup instead or increase the cooldown to 60 second rank 3.
No, because of two reasons.
-Yasuo almost never builds cooldown reduction. The only item I can ever think of would be
. This is like telling Shen he needs to build AP for his ultimate's range to increase. It doesn't make sense, it wouldn't integrate correctly into current builds, and it wouldn't happen.
-His own knockup is garbage, to put it bluntly. Not only is the travel speed slow, it's incredibly narrow, has an audio queue, and can be blocked entirely. This would be a straight nerf to Yasuo.
