I mean, why does he get a free pass on all his abilities for 0 cost. I just do not get what the point is about this. It just seems so rediculously unfair that he gets no resource and yet gets so much free stuff in his kit. Would it really effect his playability if he actually had mana and had to manage resource costs like everyone else bar Riven.
Allahu Barackbar4 votesWell, if you take a look at his abilities individually without putting all of his tools together, all of them are pretty simple or lackluster. His Q is basically a skillshot auto, his W is just an ability blocker that provides 0 damage, his E is a low-damage mobility tool, and his ultimate is a situationally-dependent skill.
Looked at separately, his abilities are pretty underwhelming. But when put together...well, the way they flow together is the biggest issue. And when you add in a shield that improves along with his mobility and free stats via his double-crit, it becomes an over-tuned kit.
However, it is also VERY easy to mess up when playing Yasuo, and as a champion, you can clearly see the difference between a player who had played only 10 Yasuo games and a player who has played 100. People will hate me for saying it, but skill IS a factor for him. Low-elo players just do not want to admit when they are out-played.
That being said, having a resource will ultimately ruin the fluidity of his kit, and thus butcher his thematic.

No it really isn't... you mess up on Yasuo and you can try again in a few seconds with no real punishing factor or cost so stop living in your own deluded little bubble.
EndlessSorcerer4 votesUnless Yasuo is chunked or dead because his opponent is competent enough to take advantage of their screw-up.
Yasuo has a hard time fighting many bruisers and tanks (and some mages) when he's playing correctly; if he makes a mistake and gives them an advantage, he's boned.
You'll learn how to deal with him eventually. You're only level 22, so you have plenty of time to learn how the game works overall.
Allahu Barackbar2 votesPlease, do tell me how I am deluded. And provide some actual argument points when you do. Unless, of course, you cannot come up with any that are not commonly used by those who simply lack an understanding of mechanics.

Ruin Lance2 votescare to explain how you can "mess up on yasuo and try again in a few seconds with no real punishing factor"?
if you're talking about his shield, that really doesn't have anything to do with having him make mistakes. he needs it to trade effectively and it can easily be popped with 1 auto attack, and he has to wait roughly 15-20 seconds before it's up again. if you're talking about his wind wall, it has more than a 20 second cooldown until late game, which is extremely high for a basic ability.
yasuo is also very squishy. saying you can make mistakes as much as you want with yasuo is pretty much like saying you can make as many mistakes as you want with an adc. he's extremely squishy and if he builds tanky he loses out on a lot of damage. if you ult at the wrong time you can be instantly deleted by the enemy team.
he also struggles very hard with bruisers/tanks or champions with free poke, or point and click damage and cc.
yasuo is already not that strong as he is right now so a nerf like this would make him nigh useless.

Gunpoint1 votesYasuo is a stupid champion, but having a resource is not how to fix him.
