Making a Case for the Classic Yasuo Build

I'm not gonna lie, I HATE seeing Tri Force on Yasuo. Here you have a champ that doubles your crit chance, and you're taking him and, as a second item, building an item that's all about multiplying BASE AD. Fucking fail. I think the Classic Yasuo Build is still the way to go; you just have to increase your crit chance from runes to 10%. For me, this means taking 9 Crit Chance Marks and 4 Crit Chance Seals. Yes, you sacrifice some early game flat AD, but showing up to lane with 20% crit chance has it's own advantages. If you're constantly poking with Q, then you could very well land a few good crits that will give you a WAY bigger advantage in lane than a few AD will. This allows you to go with the Classic Build: item 3087 item 3031 item 1300 item 3026 item 3072 item 3102

This build is just so far superior, raw stat wise, to side tracking your build 3800 gold to buy a Tri Force. Yes, your damage with Shiv + TF + IE is godly, but the 2 item damage spike you get from Shiv + TF isn't very good, to be honest, especially compared to Shiv + IE. And I highly favor the huge lifesteal and shield from BT over the mobility and slight extra burst damage from Tri Force.

Tri force is actually decent on yasuo, ok. the health and sheen proc are nice.

With the new items everyone will go back to statikk... You will have 30 % statikk + 20 % IE = 100 % crit Yasuo
