How to fix current Yasuo (6000+ Yasuo games Diamond 2)

  • make E only utility 0 dmg -- increasing rank lowers cooldown and target redash cooldown

  • lower the reduced crit penality on his q (25% right now is huge since his crits on his q only deal 50% more damage instead of 100% so nobody bothers playing him on crit right now in high elo cause its way too weak) (maybe lower it to 15%f rom 25% which is still pretty big)

  • early game damage lowered, no constant 225 damage from e in laning phase

  • higher late game damage cause he has to build crit now and his q crits deal more damage

what do you think

I dislike Yasuo as much as the next person, but this comment section is just sad. At least I know better than to claim that I have the solution to fixing a champion I don't play.

Even if he hasn't played him 6,000+ times, his main and smurf accounts have hundreds of Yasuo games on them. I'm much more inclined to listen to his proposal than a bunch of salty people.

From what I do know about Yasuo, what is being suggested seems reasonable enough.

Remove the champion. (or at least rework)

He always was and will always be a complete failure in terms of balanced kit. It's just too overloaded. It's either broken or just ass, there's no way to balance this shit. Riot fucked up.

Any nerfs to yasuo will be much appreciated.

ok, but my real problem with Yasuo is how he has an ult level ability on such a low CD, his freaking wind wall gets to my nerves everytime and can deny so much damage in the right situation.

Am I the only one who doesn't find yasuo annoying? I mean sure he is defiantly strong. But I don't personally find him more annoying then say Zed. But like I said I defiantly agree he is strong, but also takes a lot of skill. embraces downvotes from yasuo haters

His dash is the only thing that bugs me. I am perfectly okay with learning how to dodge tornadoes, baiting wind walls, and fighting around his shield.

Sounds good. E would still be probably one of the best abilities in the game even if it didn't do damage so that sounds fine. I'm not a fan of damage penalties built into a champions kit so removing that sounds good to me. his early game damage is really overwhelming so lowering that sounds good. I think if he is building crit and his q damage isn't reduced then he will have higher late game damage. I'm not sure what else you had in mind as far as late game damage goes.

I'm not sure how I feel about double crit chance and one thing I definitely would like to see changed about him would be reduced duration on his w. AOE projectile shield is pretty OP in my opinion but I do think it actually fits his kit really well. having such an OP defensive spell allows him to build more offensively and still survive. However, I think it should behave more like a spell shield (sivir, nocturne) in the was that he has to know which abilities specifically he can not afford to get hit by and use it reactively when those abilities are incoming. So I think it should last no longer than 1.5 seconds. Right now it seems that as soon as he knows which direction the adc or projectile based mid laner (which is a lot of them) is in compared to him he throws up his windwall and it lasts so long that he can seemingly have an entire fight that the enemy carries just cant take part in.

again, I think its a cool ability it just lasts too long. when I'm facing a yasuo and he windwalls me I wan to say "wow that was a realy good windwall" instead of "wow that is such a bullshit ability". like when sivir perfectly times a spellshield I say "wow that was really impressive."

Rofl. Yasuo's E doing no damage would make him unable to trade with literally everyone. Nice title btw; it takes balls to put such a blatant lie right in your title.

Decrease his movement speed to 325. Decrease his base armor by about 7.

That would make him balanced.
