Fix Yasuos Wind Wall please.

Slayerific··7 votes·918 views

Wind Wall has so many things wrong with it currently. This ability is simply too good. Yasuo doesnt truly need it. People like to talk about how squishy he is supposed to be, but fact of the matter is, with his personal shield and constant dashes, it doesnt really hold true.

A list of things wrong with Wind Wall.

  1. It blocks from both sides, even though the animation clearly has a direction.

  2. The hitbox i gigantic, to the point where skillshots that are nowhere near the animation, still get blocked.

  3. The fact that the wall shoots out from within Yasuos body means he can block attacks coming from the opposite direction of the direction he puts the wall. This is especially annoying when he is running away, meaning he can block something like a stun, then have the wall in front of him to run through for more safety.

  4. The wall routinely blocks point blank skillshots even after you hear the impact sound. No idea wtf kinda coding is going on there but it needs to stop.

  5. To a lesser degree, the fact that it doesnt impede allies at all, unlike stuff like Anivia wall and Trundle pillar.

  6. Due to the gigantic size of the hitbox, its impossible for a ranged a champ to do anything to get around the wall, since Yasuo can just stand inside it and own you if you even try to work around it.

  7. Yasuo gets to deny CS, pushing you under your turret then using the wall when the big minion gets low. I thought they changed Gangplanks raise morale because stuff like this wasnt fun gameplay. Make turret shots destroy the wall or something.

I agree with you on many points - the Windwall is very frustrating to play against. I know that counterplay exists, but a good Yasuo player will absolutely crush you for coming anywhere near him to work around the Windwall. And yeah, he can put it right by a turret and deny farm while he gets free hits on a tower. The hitbox is broken - I've fired skillshots from the side slightly on Yasuo's side of the wall only to have them blocked. And Yasuo gets "credit" for using the Windwall for about .5 seconds after a skillshot hits him, which is very annoying. How are you supposed to outplay something that can block skillshots that by all means hit him.

Yasuo is very frustrating to play against. I'm not complaining that he is OP because I've played him and it's very hard to pull off some of this stuff. But a good, or even decent, Yasuo player will make your game terribly unfun to play. And most of that "unfun" stuff comes from the Windwall and how it has too many features to be exploited (denying farm when put right at a tower, which negates the "stay at your tower and farm" idea, odd hitbox, blocks shots from all sides, blocks projectiles that already "hit", etc). I would love to see Riot clean up Yasuo's code, but I don't think it'll happen - the unseen spaghetti code is the deadliest.

AAAAnd... the ability is bugged sometimes and things still pass through it - mostly TF cards...

  1. Working as intended.

  2. You are wrong, hitbox is what it should be.

  3. Intended and balanced.

  4. Never witnessed it, it might need some investigation since Wind Wall has been bugged for a while, might be latency issue too.

  5. It's balanced around that since enemies can simply walk through it too.

  6. It is a lot possible, and a lot of ranged stuff isn't blocked by the wall anyway.

  7. if he wastes shield for deny CS then you are free of harassing him 24/7 since its long CD.

The CD isn't that long as he can get it up pretty quick whenever someone goes in on him no matter if he just used it pretty recently. It's a bullshit item and needs to be worked,

It's 18 seconds at max rank and he is going to rise it last so you get to have a windwall every 26 seconds for a really long time. If you can't capitalize on that it's your fault. Plus he doesn't build any CDR item.

I do capitalize most of the time but with it's stupid coding I have to work around it and sometimes he shits on me more than I can on him. And he somehow always spits that windwall out everytime I come back to lane or when someone is going in on him no matter if he used it recently. It needs longer cooldown or needs to have more things that it doesn't block.

I thought you were gonna just complain about Yasuo, but you actually brought up completely valid points. God job!

I agree, it's really the only thing wrong with Yasuo. If Windwall didn't block skillshots during its cast animation then I'd be up to revert all the nerfs to yasuo's damage, passive, and health nerfs.

Many of your points are correct, however, it only lasts a few seconds then goes on a 20 second cool down, I just played a one for all game as yasuo against sona, yes, it blocked all thier damage, but, they had a very easy time stomping us once our walls were down
