YasuOP

Yasuo needs a nerf, I have literally never seen a Yasuo go negative in mid-lane before. In early game, his wind-wall makes him have quite a large advantage due to it's potential of blocking a player from getting cs while he can get it himself; on top of that, he can block abilities making him have an even larger advantage in the fragile early game. For late game, his q and crit chance can scale so high that he's unstoppable if you get too close to him, and if you try to run away his tornado will stop you, then he can just teleport to you and wipe you out with his ult. I have talked with people in game who have played against Yasuo and even play as him themselves, and this is the highlight of those conversations: Yasuo has been rarely seen to go negative when going mid-lane, especially in the lower elos, and even if you feed early game as Yasuo come late game you will still see those first-slot digits rise.

**The Fix for Yasuo: ** Yasuo can not shoot abilities through his own windwall, and all ultimate abilities will go through. Next, instead of allowing him to have two passives he should only have one. **Current: **"Yasuo's Critical Strike Chance is doubled. Additionally, Yasuo builds toward a shield whenever he is moving. The shield triggers when he takes damage from a champion or monster. " Fix: _Yasuo builds toward a shield whenever he is moving. The shield triggers when he takes damage from a champion or monster. _ If you think about it, just the critical strike part of Yasuo's passive is more powerful than MasterYi's E (Wuju Style). Let's compare both: Wuju Style: "Master Yi becomes skilled in the art of Wuju, passively increasing his Attack Damage. Activated Wuju Style grants bonus true damage on basic attacks, but the passive bonus is then lost while on cooldown. First Part of Yasuo's Passive (Way of the Wanderer): "Yasuo's Critical Strike Chance is doubled."

Of course some may disagree that this part of Yasuo's passive is better than Master Yi's E, but when Yasuo has the commonly built item of a Statikk Shiv, that passive can make Yasuo have a scarily high crit chance, but when Master Yi has a damage item respective to his e, the extra damage can be hard to notice. On top of that, the passive is called way of the wanderer and has a picture of a shield-like wind around yasuo, so why is there; "Yasuo's Critical Strike Chance is Doubled"? Here's what the passive's icon looks like: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/80/Way_of_the_Wanderer.png/revision/latest?cb=20131122024030

In my opinion, a passive, let a lone part of a passive, should not be this much stronger than another champ's e; especially when Master Yi and Yasuo are quite similar in playing style.

So, what do you think about this?

?? Past his shield he's only damage, and Windwill only blocks projectiles, totally useless against most melee champs. He's not even that tanky to begin with, and Garen , Jax , Irelia , and plenty of others pretty much destroys him in top lane.

His Mid lane? Idk, but he's certainly not the best there either. Without a item 3072 , or item 3153 he's garbage in extended fights.

You take out his double crit and he's going to be more than useless. He's already one of the lowest damage melee carries and His whole kit is, quite literally, built around the possibility of acquiring 100% crit

Comparing skills is worthless outside of comparing kits.

Yasuo's double crit passive exists for a reason. It's a steroid that pigeonholes Yasuo into building crit chance, which results in squishy builds (the common SS/TF/IE/LW/Bork/boots). Bruiser Yasuo is what would exist without it... we do not want bruiser Yasuo.

Funny thing, I did the math, and Master Yi's DPS at 3 items is higher than Yasuo's DPS at 3 items.

Even against tanky targets, unless they have in the neighborhood of 300 Armor, Yi>Yasuo.
