My 1 problem with Yasuo Wind Wall

because it comes out from him. you can have skills that are on top of him, but because they still have 1 pixel left to go it gets blocked.

All I want is for the Windwall to appear in front of him. Not from him. So if you get a skill shot close enough to him without him reacting, he can't block it at the last possible pixel.

Lore wise, Yasuo summons his wind wall from his rectum as he accumulates and condenses the spirits of the wind which makes compressed air that comes out of his anus to his sword. Changing how his wind wall works, would make the lore false.

Yasuo's wall is the only ability in the game that you can cast in a completely wrong direction and still reap full benefits from it. I've seen trash Yasuo's panic-windwall behind them and still block what they intended to block. Name me one other skillshot that you can literally miss by 180 degrees mid-fight and get rewarded for it.

But then yasuo would need a brain to be played.

its even worse for gragas mains, if u throw a barrel and its reached the end spot but is still spinning it gets fizzed out by windwall.

Man, you haven't seen how Windwall works with Katarina daggers. It's the single worst and most painful interaction in the entire game. Hands down.

Yasuo can just block Kat daggers AFTER they've fallen onto the ground because apparently they count as projectiles when they're sitting on the ground. Oh, and you know when they're falling from the sky? Yeah, he can block those too.

For what should be a skill matchup is turned into a broken shitfest thanks to Windwall's atrocious coding with what it considers a "projectile".

yas wind wall shouldn't block "lobbed" abilities

i think they should change windwall so after yasuo casts it, if he makes contact with the windwall, he just gets erased from the game... permanently... wooo everybody wins :P but jokes aside i agree with your idea 100%

Good quality of life change but I think that should be considered in a full Yasuo VGU so other spells can be tuned equally the same.

The real problem of wind wall ... it existing on a champion that deals damage, or doesn't have a price for it. There was a reason abilities like that go on support champions, because a powerful ability like that would come at a price. Instead it's given to someone that can deal damage, is hyper mobile, has a shield that is built up from said mobility, and now has a TEAM denial button. It's not shocking this abomination came from that hack of a champion designer CertainlyT.

Not that it matters anymore, champions like Pyke, Senna, and mage supports throw the balance of support role out the window.

Yasou's windwall should appear one swords length away from his body

I'm also a Ahri main and pretty High in Elo up there. I usually do not have a problem with yasuo in general nor do i think he is overpowered as a champion. However i do know that he is ultra annoying and i would honestly change it. 1. single thing that i probably hate the most on yasuo is, that he can windwall ur autoattack. Usually you want to let him have prio early game, also u want to save mana which means u wanna towerfarm, the yasuo player however very often smashes his windwall infront of the canon minion, which makes u loose the canon minion even if u didn't even fail the last hit and in my opinion it is actually extremely toxic. I also believe high Elo players ban him exactly mostly of the time because of that one Reason. So yeah if i would work at riot i would make a few suggestions for a mini rework.

a. when his windwall does not block a spell, it gets significantly higher Cooldown, because a yasuo player should not prevent u from last hitting in such a non counterplayed way. b. Autoattacks go through his windwall and smth else get's buffed in return.

I recommend A since it would be way easier to balance also it would finally remove a very toxic mechanic which in all honestly just sucks and tilts u off the earth. Especially in High elo every single minion that u can get counts, yasuo being able to do this, probably is one of the bigger reasons why people ban him regardless if he sucks or is strong as a whole. :).

(btw im not sure why riot can't figure this out by themself) (also yes the fact that yasuo can basically shot his windwall backwards and it still blocks ur spell is a big yikes)

Imo windwall is a cancerous ability because it is so all or nothing Any projectile champion is just instantly negated by it for a long period of time, but not projectile champions don't give a shit Imo it should be changed in 2 ways 1 add a knockback or small shield on use to it, allowing it to be at least partially usefull against non projectile champions 2 massively lower it's duration It should be used in the same way fioras parry is, a snap reaction to the big incoming damage, but that's it, at the moment it just sits there forever blocking everything, it should it do that, it should last at most 2 seconds AT MOST

Yes delete this mechanic that is intended and makes the champ not complete garbage, but please keep in other champs ability to completely negate cc by timing their dashes even slightly well (notably trist, and ezreal). Also continue to let j4 camille and graves dash WHILE rooted. Those mechanics are fun bc the champions are easy enough for me to play well :)))

You a clown.

His W casts 400 units away from him and then drifts another 50 for a total of 450 units. Having his W originate from him doesn't just give him those extra few milliseconds to react; it allows him to use it against projectiles that originate from closer than 450 units away. Changing this would not only be a weird disincentive for a melee champion to be in melee, but also remove the skill expression of using that fraction of a second of wall movement. Karthus and Anivia can cast their walls anywhere within range, and no one says "Anivia shouldn't be able to block champs who are already on top of her. If you get close enough to her without her reacting, she shouldn't be able to block you at the last possible pixel." Even Cass, a ranged mage, got her W changed to remove the minimum cast distance restriction. But then, none of those champs are hated as much as Yasuo, are they... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I want Yasuo's windwall to constantly move out like it won't sit directly in front of/on top of him forever.

Oh, and for it to not last forever.

Kazekiba12/31/2019, 2:01:24 AM2 votes

Worse the wall spawns slightly BEHIND Yasuo. Extremely fast projectiles can be blocked by casting windwall backwards so that it hits the wall before entering the hitbox. I've seen SMDR do this.

You know what else WW counters? The second cast of Urgot's ult. You stick a giant "drill" (or whatever it is) on him, and you are literally dragging him with chains, but nope the wall breaks them...

:(
