How did Yasuo become FoTM again?

Seriously, almost every game I go into right now, I'm guaranteed to see a Yasuo. Most of them horrible, some of them good. Why is Yasuo suddenly the second coming? o-o

When someone uses FoTM I always think of that

It's because item 3143 item 3110 and item 3082 in particular all got nerfed.

Surprise surprise, you nerf armor items and the AD assassins become ridiculously strong. I warned Repetoir about this too, said they should look at penetration in the same patch.

Yes, Randuin's Omen gives a 10% damage reduction against Yasuo's crits, but it also gives 100 less health and 10 less armor, which is fairly significant. Combine that with 10 less armor on FH and Yasuo already being able to cut bonus armor in half, and he's just able to rip through his opponents easily.

I upvoted you lol, but it looks like you got downvoted for the truth.

So much. So often.

Now that all the top lane bullies are being permabanned every game.. Riven and Yas are going up there free as little birds and whoever beats the other wins the game. Literally. If Riven wins hard: riven side wins.. If Yasuo wins hard; yas side wins.

I don't understand why people are flipping shit over this build. If anything, it makes it so that you take longer to snowball the game, because ordinarily, a Yasuo would have gone item 3087 > item 3031 > item 3153 or item 3072 . With this new build, doesn't that make it so you have to wait 3 whole items before you get your lifesteal item?

Yeah, but you get Lifesteal runes.

It's largely based on the initial competitive play in the LCS Finals.

645 skin

Yeah, I guess that'll do it. I seriously question Riot's logic on that

what do you mean? they're racking in the money with the whole project skin line, its not like they're losing out on anything by making that skin cheap at all.

Well I mean, why did Yasuo not get his own stuff out of the event? Why didn't people who bought Yasuo's skin when it came out get a border? Why did it only go on sale instead? Kind of a fuck you to the fans who bought him first

Yasuo has always been popular if you ask me, due to his play style. Him and Zed in particular. I don't think it has anything to do with yasuo suddenly being OP out of nowhere, I think people just legitimately want to use him. Whereas youd never see that for Swain or Orianna

I like Yasuo myself, but I stopped trying ever since the juggerwhats

He has the most over loaded kit in the entire game and he has been broken since release.

He got minor love taps for nerfs, but some were reverted. He never stopped being top tier, but he just fell out of flavor after his supposed nerfs.

Now armor has been nerfed and he got a new skin. All of the people who bought the skin and the people in those games are now seeing that he's still one of the most powerful mid and tops in the entire game.

He's the exact same as Riven in that he's always stronger than his laning opponent and scales harder than his laning opponent. The only real counter are the juggernauts, but they're all perma banned now.

LeBlanc is still broken as hell too, and as soon as all the juggernauts get gutted, we're gonna be right back to where we were before the juggernaut patch.
