Yasuo DOES need a rework!
I'll list every point that make him OP:
- he can easy engage/chase/dodge/escape with his dashes spam, cost free
- he can insta stun with his tornado (yes INSTA on close range) many other champ similar abilities require a casting time, cost free
- he can cast this tornado every 2 seconds, cost free
- he doubles crit (I'm ok with that, it's an assassin...)
- he cancels any attack every 20 sec, cost free
- he can ult very often, cost free
- he has the most powerfull defensive ability of the game, invincible wall, cost free and gets wider every level. (NO OK AT ALL!)
- he can come back in any game even when shut down from start, no other champ can do that so easily!
So basically he his POLYVALENT, can do more than any other champ, is never useless even in a bad game, and all this for free.
No mana/energy to deal with wich is a HUGE advantage.
He has no drawbacks balancing all his 0 costs skills
The only one is him being squishy (as every other assassin if you think about it...)
This "thing" is an anomaly that REALLY must be reworked:
- His wall should be replaced by an offensive spell... IT'S AN ASSASSIN, NOT A SUPPORT !
To defend himself he already has Passive / Dashes / Tornado, that's enough !
- His tornado need a short casting time AND a mana cost like Jinx Zap or Jana Tornado
- His utimate activation range should be melee range only, or short range like his katana hits...
Riot really need to think champions not only for ranked or high ELO...
They need to rework late game champions as well because they become more and more useless because late game almost never happen.
I think either there should not be any late game champion, OR they should have abilities that can help them make the game last longer.
