So crit and yasuo...

So, yasuo has a passive which doubles the critical strike chance of the champion. He gets a Q which can crit and uses attack speed as CDR.

After a 10% damage reduction, crits only do 180% damage, but top that off with effectively a second auto attack through steel tempest for 150% AD (after the bonus damage i'd like to add), brings me to my first point. If you take RNG out of the equation (by giving him such a massive crit chance boost), how is he balanced?

The % modifier is on the table too. x2 is pretty high! - Morello http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/live-gameplay/hbEj1jWi-can-we-finally-phase-crits-rngesus-out-of-the-game?comment=002f0000000000030000

That's obviously ignoring the other massively powerful parts of his kit, but people claim he has no other damage steroids, although he already gets double auto attacks, attack speed based CDR, and a 50% armor pen boost after ulting. How are those not all damage steroids? Even if they aren't as strong as other similar champions, Fiora MasterYi, he also has his passive shield and windwall, which is much more powerful defensive options than them.

I have a friend who will play 0 crit yasuo, and do fine. That's not to say he shouldn't be able to crit, just that his kit can hold up without it being doubled.

If you want yasuo nerfed, address the inherent problems with crit chance itself before going on a nerfquest.

i'm saying yasuo needs to be nerfed because of the problems with crit chance, and his design of being able to get all the benefits of the stat, for very little trade off. He is a powerful champion designed around the most powerful stat in the game. Unless they address the stat ththey need to address the champion.

Yes, i'd like to see crit reworked or removed rather than yasuo nerfed, but one needs to be done. I mean this isn't even talking about the inherent problems and inconsistencies with his windwall or his effect on mobility creep.
