So, like most other shields, it dies after its current duration OR blocking a shot? I'm fine with it canceling ults, but it should have a bit more counter play.
If the Voli has to roar right before a flip to counter the Siv shield, then we should have the same style of counterplay for Yas.
I am Pacman2 votesLook I hate yasou as much as the next guy but this isn't even a legitimate complaint. You seem to be confusing his shield for a spellshield like sivirs or nocturnes. Yasuos shield is just that. A basic shield. It functions like every other shield in the game blocking damage before it hits your health bar.
Just look at it like a malphite passive that has base scalings intead of %hp scaling in return for being able to charge it with movement instead of passivity
RookPusher1 votesTo be clear, I'm talking about his Windwall, not his shield.
Cubíx1 votesI mean the way it works is it last for an X amount of time, the counter play is not aiming at it, you can simply position around it. Also its like a long CD early on.
RookPusher1 votesOk, well let me phrase it this was, a regular ability with some pretty decent uptime can single handedly block incredible amounts of damage and eliminate ults for its' full duration.
I mean Braum at least takes damage and gets CC'd by the effects of what hits him. Yasuo has no downside.
Cubíx1 votesI admit lowering the time it is up would not be a bad Idea, but the difference between braum and yasuo is that braum can move with his and even gains movement spend making it harder to get around it while you can simply walk around yasuo's windwall, or even more conveniently walk straight through it.
RookPusher1 votesNo, and that's fair. But it counters ranged largely who aren't i a position (often) to walk through before Yas escapes.
I think if I were to really dumb it down: Casting Windwall is a low cost, low risk move with massive payoff. And it's blocking things with high risk, and inherent negatives.
How many times do you see Jinx or Lux totally whiff their ults. They can't haphazardly cast them. WW on the other hand. Completely neutralized.
Cubíx1 votesI think it does have a cost to it though, obviously not in mana but in time, max level its an 18 sec CD and yasuo isnt one to get 40% CD, normally anyway, because his Q cd scales with AS. This means usually he gets one windwall in a fight. If anything is low risk high reward on yasuo its his shield passive, I mean no damage for walking?
I mean I'm simply saying Yasuo's wall sucks to deal with in situations but it is counterable, there are ways to work with it. I has a similar function to Fiora's riposte, saves the players life if used responsively. So I'd say it does have a moderate or high cost/risk to it because you only get one and if you waste it early you get bodied later in the fight.
