Yasuo Mains

Pennysocks··1 votes·558 views

The new keystone conqueror is no doubt the best primary keystone for Yasuo. I used to bring starting lethality into lane (before Runes Reforged) and now as I'm in combat I can really feel the extra bit of true damage the keystone provides. I think that fleet footwork is good too but I think now Yas has even better trading potential now. Thanks, Riot, my boy was in a rough spot for a bit.

I was thinking about this for some time... Isn't it a bit overpowered added to the armor pene from his ult ?

ehh To me full AD Yasuo's damage isn't my concern with him. Yes he gets a lot of damage and if he goes full AD he will 1-2 shot you. My problem is when he has enough damage to get away with only building 2 Damage items (like IE and PD sometimes frozen mallet) then goes bruiser to exploit that Crit passive for his damage, and exploit the focus passive by making it better with Def stat stacking. Yasuos with frozen mallet and tank builds are the problem and why so many people hate Yasuo... Full AD Yasuos are just another Assassin.

yep this is my concern too, I'm scared that item 3053 item 3022 item 3046 item 3031 item 3065 or item 3742 will be back

That's the thing, Yasuo isn't supposed to be a fucking full AD assassin. He's supposed to be a fighter along the lines of Fiora or Riven. He can't afford to build full damage because he's likely to die without killing anyone if he's not massively ahead.

Yasuo needs defensive stats in the form of items to function. No his "WAHHHH OP" Passive shield and Windwall isn't enough.

Frozen Force Yasuo was it's own monster and ultimately I'm glad that's gone, but he needs durability. It's part of why he has his double crit passive in the first place, to ensure he builds damage but gives him some space with a free slot unlike most ranged ADCs that need three crit items.

Durability is fine... between Tabis AA reduction, PH damage reduction, and stacking def stats you should be tanky... but his crit passive allows him to do too much damage for a tank. There is nothing wrong with being Tanky as long as you aren't 2 shotting ADC's. He is doing both when he builds tanky and it is a huge problem. Fiora Riven and other fighters stack hp and lifesteal, not really many solid tank items maybe 1 at most.

Frozen force yasuo was a problem... but it just came from a tank Yasuo variant. Yasuos stacking def stats is a problem if he is going to get absurd damages from 100% crit chance.
