Another Yasuo Thread - Needs a change, for his own sake

CameronM94·Jun 1, 2018·2 votes·713 views

I really like yasuo as a champion, he's interesting. The problem is he is permanently picked or banned.

His interaction with crit is strong with the new Infinity edge and if anything has made him even more contested or removed.

I don't have any ideas at hand but I'm sure the dev team could come up with a way to rework or change yasuo's interaction with crit. I would love to play yasuo more but if you pick yasuo, your team assumes you'll play poorly and playing against a yasuo is stress inducing.

I'm not saying change his identity, just change his interaction with the strongest form of attack in the game and he'll become a healthier champion who won't be contested so much, because I'd like to play him

"Has made him more contested or removed" Yeah, if he's against tanks that cant hold him down. Against carries he LOST damage since IE no longer grants that increased crit damage. He currently gets hit with the -10% from his passive with nothing to push it back to 100+. He can kill tanks, but killing squishes is a whole discussion on its own.

He deals 15% true damage with crits now with IE. That severs through all resistances that would have before impeded him. That means base armor means nothing to people he's critting on. And he needed to have less damage on crits, especially if he's got such free access to the stat.

So its justified that Tryndamere does more damage since he doesn't have a crit modifier that lowers the damage?

Tryndamere gains access to free crit the more HP he loses. That's a SIGNIFICANT tradeoff for the damage he's dealing, as opposed to Yasuo, who gets free crit for merely having a passive.

Uh, wrong. He gets is for just hitting people AND critting. He can have 100% critchance easily with 1 zeal item and IE just like Yasuo can. And Trynd's crit is on his passive if you couldn't be bothered to do your research.

15% crit damage to true damage CONVERSION is vastly inferior to 50% BONUS crit damage.
