Enough Yasuo threads, please, just rework the poor bastard.

It's obvious at this point that Yasuo is unbalanceable. Much like Gangplank, Poppy, Urgot, etc, he's either going to be crushing people, or just another troll pick. The biggest issue I see with Yasuo is his passive and his W. First, that double crit chance has been proven to be extremely stupid. Second, his flow shield just craps out at the slightest tickle, yet doesn't regenrate outside of running really fast, yet he can fart out a wind wall instantly that blocks all incoming ultimates and basic attacks witht the almighty power of flatulence.

This has lead to a QQ that may have rivaled Ziggs'. I think the only solution is to rework him so that he can't just fart out a wall from his ass cheeks that blocks projectiles with the almighty power of flatulence, and then just use his dash and his range to chunk anyone slower than Evelynn. I think that if we can give Yasuo a more interesting passive component than double crit chance and a crap shield, make his wind wall have a delay and drain his flow, but leave it up for longer, and give his ultimate more power at the cost of armor penetration, it will give Yasuo a good starting point back somewhere in the ballpark of his launch values.

His flow should be a much bigger part of his kit. No reason he needs flow to make a wind shield but is able to make whirlwinds and walls of wind out of nothing. Costing flow would end the complaints about Windwall once and for all.

Just opinion checking, would anyone be happy with him if his windwall only blocked projectiles coming from one direction? That way at least he had to think about which way he cast it rather than just standing next to it and walking back and forth if you try to go around it, essentially nerfing his wall from 100% ranged damage reduction to something with actual counterplay.

Or is that a bit heavy handed as he's already seeing low win rates.

I wouldn't be comfortable with him having that nerf on top of his endless streak of them. TBH, it's not really an issue that much either, very rarely will you ever dash past the wall, Yasuo will walk through it, and you'll fire projectiles to try to finish him off. That sorta stuff just doesn't happen very often.

Id be prefectly fine with him using flow to cast windwall and maybe even the last part of his Q, gives him some more choices than, "press R now or Later" That being said, Give him the W passive back, (or at least something that helps with flow generation) and increase the power on his shield so he has some incentive so save up for it instead of using windwall every time its up.
