Would yasuo be fixed if...
his windwall were changed to be an ability that functions mostly the same as his playstyle, but instead of being a versatile wall, it blocks one ability or auto attack as a shield that follows him like braum?
it wouldn't have to change his core theme(a big bonus for yasuo as windwall makes a majority of his complaints); it would fit his current playstyle (as I doubt most yasuo players use their wall other than for personal defense and not as a team fight game-changer but feel free to post comments on this); It would help him in lane and with his most annoying trait "reduced", it would allow him to have meaningful stats in lane and for his kit to be more about numbers instead of gimmicks
I just randomly had the idea, but since spell-shields are a large part of gameplay already and it fits yasuo's playstyle in lane and allows for adaptable numbers in team fights, would this idea function as a substitute for his current...headache state?
it keeps yasuo true to his quick-reflex state and reduces the stress-load for other players because he has more room to mess up without becoming a dangerous utility carry
this idea seems to have been briefly discussed years before, but currently, most of yasuo's complaints are invalidated because it either did not solve the problem or parts of his kit could not be "removed" without serious consequences
when I think about it and look at yasuo: hyper mobile carry? okay,
hyper mobile carry with a passive shield? still okay....
hyper mobile carry with a passive shield and free stats in his entire kit...okay, now it's a bit less than okay but still not really bothersome.
Hyper mobile carry with a passive shield, free stats in his entire kit and conditional crowd control. Okay...he's still manageable, unique and I feel like I should be worried but he isn't really any more of a threat than other melee carries.
Add windwall to that and suddenly he's also the most annoying champion for marksman and mages to play against...and finally, then it becomes not okay
the problem has always been that windwall has been a core part of him since his design, so since it had to be kept, he also had to function in roles other than mid-lane because some matchups he just couldn't lane against and also had trouble against ganks
any thoughts?
I'm not posting this out of spite and I want to keep the game as healthy and fun as possible.
