Yasuo Over-nerfed

I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but at this rate I don't mind. I have played A LOT of games as Yasuo, and have dealt with the nerfs accordingly over time. It hasn't really been an issue, up until the most recent nerf to the health and movement speed. Since he is a melee champ, he needs to get close to attack (no duh), and as such having an already low health pool was challenging enough against champs with range and multiple skills that could strike regardless of windwall presence. Le Blanc, Karthus, Brand, etc... Either way, I just feel that the health was a bit too much. As far as movement speed; it sucks, but it does make sense. He has other forms of escape, though now it is a bit harder to get away clean. (E away, flash, w to prevent stun)

As far as balancing, I believe he would be 'balanced' perfectly if the health were given back to him. That is all.

Leblanc can only blink against Yasuo's windwall, the rest will be blocked by it. The issue is that Yasuo has a free shield, double the crit rate, and the ability to invalidate anything considered a projectile with his windwall including ults like Nami.

He should be squishy given the defensive/offensive tools he possesses.

It's pretty well known that he was overnerfed.

The thing is, his kit is so retarded that when he has good numbers he's broken. It's mostly because of Windwall, but they don't want to touch it.

He's still perma banned from bronze to plat. Their is always someone in your team that manage to feed him. It doesn't feels like he wins any matchup but ones he got a single good ult. Well, he's back in the game. It's just Leblanc all over again but than with a more powerfulll lategame.

Yasuo still have the exact same impact he had before and still has one of the most powerfull cleanups in the entire game. He's tier 3 for sure but whe can say the exact same thing for Twitch, Ryze, Nunu, Kassadin & Rengar. They are still very strong but just became situational.

yasuo is over nerfed thats a fact but i dont think that giving him hp back will solve anything, i think that he would bounce back to pre nerf state where he was plainly op (if he won early he won late, if he lost early he still won late, some champs were additionaly completly removed from the game due to his w)

i have a thread which proposes reverting the nerfs on his shield and q cdr rate, i think that its better to make him a hypercarry with weak early than plainly op sht
