First you nerf e, so everyone starts maxing q.
Now you nerf q and e in such a way that we needs to max e to be able to make any sort of outplay.
At this rate, it's going to get to a point where we need to max windwall first, since everything else is useless
Bultz4 votesFuck Riot, fucking literally nerfing him to please people
Darkdemon6531 votesPeople don't want you to play Yasuo.
Can't tell you why, though
KoKoboto1 votesMax E
Zero Skill Tank1 votesRight. Because denying CS from a melee champion for at least 15 seconds each wave just by holding stacks is such a huge outplay.
Spicy Rice1 votesFirst of all, it's 10 secs
Secondly, most melees can stay check him into oblivion
Ralanr1 votesI have no love for Yasuo, but I am also curious as for the purpose of these nerfs.
An Undead brat1 votesYeah, dashes and no cost almost no CD AoE on-hit procing and with 2 items always critting spell are so useless, right?
Edit: Yasuo is my favourite match up mid, just fyi
Spicy Rice1 votesI didn't meant that they are useless now, but that the way riot is nerfing yasuo, sometime in the future, they are just going to be shells of abilities
An Undead brat1 votesConsidering what they do, they're never going to be useless, unless they start removing stuff from them (like Azir's knock up)
Critmaster Garen1 votesthey didnt change anything about the scaling of his q. so if it was worth maxing before, its still going to be worth maxing.
but being able to hold his nado for 10 seconds it part of why hes such a huge lane bully. he can zone you from your own minions while holding his q for 10 seconds, and lasthitting himself with auto attacks.
also the e animation cancelling is taken down a notch at early levels by the slightly increased cd.
really, yasuo is a bit dominant at very early levels for scaling so well into the mid and lategame. he IS supposed to scale really well, considering hes a carry. so thats why theyre even entirely removing the cooldown on his e at rank 5.
