So for -40 early game shield he gets.. let's see..
-2 extra starting magic resistance
-15.5 total free magic resistance
-+45 later game shield strength
Keep in mind Yasuo probably needs the least base MR of any melee champ to begin with considering he has windwall and a shield. Now Riot wants to give him the best scaling MR in the game on top of it. This is not a nerf lmao this is an overall net buff.
Arìes Wínd1 votesYasuo mid is in a bad spot yasuo top is the obnoxious one, reminding you that yasuo mid is kind of forcing his team to go full ad, this nerf shield is something in toplane, i main him mostly toplane i didnt play him mid in a long time and i think they are doing a shifting to him in midlane where he struggles, (48%wR) Edit: according to a rioter (riot axes) the nerf of the shield is compensated around level 10 which gives a lot of opportunities ..

You do know AP top laners exist, correct? Which he already wins against most of them. These buffs don't only improve his mid lane, it improves his top lane against magic damage dealers where he already wins by default against some.
DunkinNoobs1 votesWhat AP top laners are you referring to? Because Teemo, Kennen, Vlad, Kayle, Rumble, and Galio all beat him and that's basically every viable AP top laner right now.

More than one source says otherwise. Galio, Teemo, Rumble lose to Yas, in Diamond Kayle loses, but below Diamond Kayle wins while the others still lose. Vlad only wins Diamond+, everywhere else Yasuo wins. Singed loses in Diamond and below that he wins. He wins against other magic damage dealers like Mundo, Swain, etc.
Salron1 votesI don't think you understand how much 40 Shield is at lvl 1 is worth there are champions that have dropped out of viability from losing 40 hp at lvl 1
53011 votesDoesn't Yasuo just lose to all the meta mids? Keep in mind riot just took off almost half of the shield
