Why is Yasuo not being hotfixed?

We can somehow find time to hotfix support item abuse at top lane, but we can't hotfix the monstrosity that Yasuo has (very unexpectedly) become with these crit itemization changes? What the fuck?

Honestly, it's already pretty bad that someone (multiple people?) made and okay'd these crit changes and didn't bother to think 'Wow, these changes are going to make Yasuo incredibly strong,' when thinking about this shit is literally their job.

wanna balance him? its simple, take the shield off of his passive entirely so he cant get 3 fucking shields in a fight for doing fuck all, he'd actually be bearable to lane against if you could trade with him without having to pop his shield every 5 secs

i'd keep the shield but not let it be as strong as it is. As it is, at all stages of the game it's good. It shouldn't be able to completely deny poke. Maybe 2/3 the shield value would be enough. He is a melee squishy.

That doesn't accomplish much, most mid lane champions can't interact with Yasuo enough to even pop the shield.

How about he gets the shield by landing the third q tornado? That way he is forced to do something to get it, something he should be doing anyway or he isn't a good Yasuo. This then allows some time for his opponent to poke him, perhaps even force out wind wall?

Because just lowering some numbers isn't going to do anything there. Things they can ship outside of actual patches are very limited.

Yeah, no, they're not hotfixing it. We're forced to deal with this monstrosity as-is until the next patch.
