So when Riot nerfs Yasuo, how do you think they will do it?

Removing his double crit would fix things but I doubt they'll do that... any realistic ideas?

the mastery itself is pretty retarded. It seems like they redesigned masteries in 1 hour

They're probably going to change the item costs around or the amount of crit given by Shiv / cloak. Yasou's fine, but him hitting 100% crit at 10min is rough. The keystone mastery also needs to be changed pretty significantly.

Who cares about Yasuo. The problem is we are seeing comps with 3 adcs and it is the most toxic meta you will ever see in league. Kill one and you still have another 2 killing you in 2 seconds with 40% lifesteal.

I understand that laning against Yasuo must be toxic as hell. However if the whole community just whines about Yasuo, Riot might actually just nerf Yasuo and leave this broken meta alone.

Yas is one of Riot's favorites. They won't do anything that would actually balance him.

Except, you know, months of being shit tier...

LuggNov 12, 20151 votes

Yas has NEVER been shit tier. The ONLY weakness Yas has right now is the skill of the player.

He has a few weaknesses. Probably fewer than he should have given his strengths, that is true.

However, until about three months ago Yasuo had been considered among the worst champions in the game for a long time. He has spent a lot of time far away from the top of the pack.

This doesn't mean he wasn't still annoying to play against for some champions - he was - but he was still very weak.

Yas has always had a win rate in the mid 50s or higher for people who have over 50 games on him. The only champs that can counter him are the ones that are just as broken.

Probably hit the mastery, or as a last resort just nerf some of his numbers. (Numbers of choice being crit damage multiplier, ult bonus armor pen%, E/W cool downs)

I think the first thing that'll happen is for Warlord's Bloodlust's heal to either only work on champions or work on minions only at a very reduced rate (like 3-5% of crit's damage).

His shield will be nerfed

Zilean / Ekko will go back in time and bomb down Riot's office so Yasuo will never be made

Virgin RayNov 12, 20152 votes

and make Zilean and Ekko extremely op and unbannable in draft and ranked.

How about completely gutting crit off yasuo like they did with ashe

LankPantsNov 12, 20151 votes

I'd say they should cap the crit from his passive at 30%, that way he still needs IE/Tri/SS to get his 100% and his spike gets pushed back somewhat. Although I'm doubtful this would fix Yas it would certainly be a welcome change.

If they do anything, which I'm not convinced they will, then I think they'll reduce his crit bonus to 50%. You can still get 100% with Shiv Tri IE with a 50% bonus.

They will nerf Yasuo by gutting Seuani's W and Cinderhulk again.

warpenguin555Nov 12, 20151 votes

they will probably nerf windwall...

5 movement speed.

Personally I'm hoping that he will get a new passive that if his q doesn't hit his target he sepukus. This will separate the good Yasuos from the common man.
