Please rework Yasuo

Yasuo... Just rework him already...

Please understand that he is extremely unfun to play against. Yes he is beatable, but it is not fun to do because you have to jump through 101 hoops to do it. Every other matchup is fun and challenging - playing against Yasuo is a chore.

No champion should be able to go 0/10 and still have seemingly no hinderance to his mid/late game. I'm sorry, but he is poorly designed. He works well at higher elos but not at lower elos, and lower elo players make up the majority of your community.

Please just do something about him - and I don't mean a nerf. His design needs to be changed.

  • The passive shield is ridiculous - sure, block any damage dealt after you proc it but to block damage when you proc it as if the shield was always up is just stupid. It makes him a burst champion that is unburstable.
  • The wind wall blocks too many so called projectiles. Some skill shots appear to go up and over (like Maokai's saplings, yet it blocks them)
  • The tornado has a wide hit box, travels really fast and can hit multiple enemies/knock them all up - just no.
  • His dashes seem to always be readily available, which makes him seem unhittable (but then when you do hit him, there's that shield that magically appears to shield him just in time)

On behalf of all the low elo players - please fix this extremely irritating champion.

Thank you.

I think its cause he can farm effectively why he can get a good build fast, a good yas doesn't miss much cs kinda like irelia she too has the cs capability as yas except hers is crippled by mana where as ya scan spam spam spam

I wouldn't mind a small scale rework, but nothing major.

The shield: Is INCREDIBLY easy to work around. If anything, they just need to increase the number of units moved to max it at early levels giving you a little bit more time to do something while it is down. Its not op.

Tornado: Why are you complaining about a "Wind Samurai" throwing a tornado? Because it can knock people up? The hit box is not that wide. Most Yasuo's get there knock ups from the E/Q combo anyway, and he has to have something to proc his ultimate off of.

Wind Wall: I agree its a frustrating ability, but it can also be worked around. Positioning is key, and not blowing everything early in a fight before he casts it. The wall is stationary, so move.

Dash: Yes, its up a lot. Yes he is mobile... IF he has a bunch of targets around. Not when retreating, not in the jungle, and certainly not in Teamfights. Riven is far more mobile than Yasuo, and she can use it to easily engage OR escape.

Honestly, I could probably point for point call out why Riven is WAY more problematic than Yasuo, and I don't even hate Riven. Champions have their strong points, their weak points, and counters.

Again, I wouldn't mind something small, but he doesn't need a full on new kit.

I got through bronze and silver with yasuo in the game. Learn how to beat him. Doesn't take much effort. Deal with it.
