Can we remember that Yasuo is still broken as all hell

the last nerf on yasuo didnt really do anything except lower his attack speed growth

can dash out of skill shots, with no repercussions of dashing with no skill shot being used. In other words, he doesn't have to worry about using a limited number of dashes in his kit so he can save it when escaping from being damaged.

can block many ults, and skillshots with w if he cant use e

can effectively have a higher dmg output than most adcs because he can have 100% crit from 2 items allowing him to build more attack damage

gets free defenses from simply moving making poking during laning phase to whittle him down almost impossible without wasting all mana -this leaves a small window of opportunity to actually hurt him due to his tornado being up and fear of being ulted

  • this also allows him to wait until your resources are drained, i.e mana, to all in you.

He uses no resources, no mana, no energy. You dont see people complaining about zed, although he is a whole different animal, but yasuo can just intsagib many skillshots and abilities with absurd amounts of dashes and can make an instant wind wall should he not be able to dodge the last skill shot that a ranged character uses.

His allies may still be able to shoot projectiles through his wind wall

Going against yasuo as a melee character is completely doable and balanced and maybe more in favor towards his opponent. But yasuo's kit is designed to absolutely shut down ranged characters and its in my opinion creating an unhealthy gaming experience of either shut yasuo down hard making his game play not fun or him destroying his opponents making their game play not fun.

I motion to either take away that shield, make him use some sort of resource like mana or energy, allow him to only use 2-3 dashes within a set amount of time(which is still A LOT, ahri's ult only lets her dash 3 times and thats an ultimate on a high cool-down) (kassiden's dash allows him to go up to 4 times BUT there is a devastatingly high cost to it), perhaps reduce the crit bonus he receives or lower the amount of damage his crits make such as instead of the normal double damage it is x1.5

Something needs to even out the playing field with characters like yasuo, zed, and fizz, but mostly yasuo

skimmed through it, and basically

tl;dr: I don't know know how to play against yasuo.

which isn't surprising, since that's what every one of these posts essentially is.

i didn't even have to read all of this. pretty much this boils down to, "please nerf this champion since I don't know how to play against it."

the fact that you think that fizz, zed, and yasuo are still overpowered just shows how little you know.

yasuo received a nerf because of his bruiser/tank build. the regular crit build is balanced.

if any of the changes you suggested actually went through, yasuo would probably fall down to a ~45% winrate or less. getting rid of his shield would destroy his laning phase. giving him limited dashes would destroy his mobility which he NEEDS. reducing his crit bonus is also a dumb idea because it would make his crits inconsistent and really just a completely unnecessary and random thing to nerf. reducing his crit damage would destroy his mid and late game. but the point is, he doesn't need any nerfs and especially not any of these.

yasuo's dashes are limited to being targeted. all of the other examples of dashes you mentioned can freely dash in whatever direction they please.

and like i tell everyone who makes these kinds of ignorant posts, maybe you should play yasuo yourself before suggesting nerfs and reworks for him, because the reality is that he's completely fine and you just don't know how to fight him.

its my opinion that the way he works is unhealthy, he doesnt have to work for his crits, its just handed to him making him snowball very quickly

Yasuo is not broken.

However, he is cancer to play against, has the most obnoxious players, tends to be insta-locked every game regardless of position/comp, always feeds if on your team and always hard carries if on the enemy team, hence why people ban him.
