A Solution to Yasuo's Windwall

TheGamingFiles·2/27/2017, 3:56:56 PM·15 votes·3,640 views

As we all know, Yasuo's windwall is very strong. Technically, it does not matter how fed the enemy ADC is if you have a Yasuo on your team who blocks 100% of all their damage.

One solution which I also think is the best solution would be to give Yasuo's windwall an HP bar, just like Yorick's wall ability. You would hit the windwall twice at level 1, then 3 times at level 2, and so on. This way it does not last so long, because in a teamfight it can block out so damage, to where it does not matter how fed you are because his windwall blocks most of your damage.

TL:DR, make Yasuo's windwall have an HP bar that scales with his level.

I loathe playing against Yasuo, but I don't think his WW is a problem.

It's fine, it's like sivir spellshield you have to play around it. What's irritating about it is in lane you have to do these things in order to trade with him:

Hit him with a AA or Skill to pop his shield before he regains it back
Actually hit him with a skill which can be very hard when he's got a creep wave to dash through.
Avoid the wind wall block should he put it up.

He has a lot of defensive tools that are very frustrating to play against, whether they are warranted or not I don't know. I do know lanes he's good against are excruciatingly frustrating to play and typically involve being shoved into your tower to no end.

There's minor interactions that are also not well rewarded, like if you cc him after he knocks you up, he can still sometimes ult afterwards (nami bubble he can)

When you do manage to hit him and surprise him that he doesn't preemptively put up his windwall, the cast time on his skill is non existant, it just expands out/gets bigger farther from him but still blocks it before it is finally cast.

No how you fix his windwall is you remove it spawning from inside of him and have it actually spawn in front of him so he can't panic throw it in a random direction and block something in the opposite direction. Literally the only nerf it needs.

i dont think his windwall is a problem and i have had this debate with a close friend of mine that pointed out yasuo has 3 passives for his Flow Passive.

its not about nerfing or balancing his wind wall, which would be nice if the duration was lowered on it, it more how they are going to balance his three passives: movement speed, critical hit and the flow shield that blacks all forms of damage for a short duration when activated.

That is what you should be suggestion Riot does to yasuo

People are still complaining about Yasuo? I mean my main mid is Lux and he doesn't give me trouble anymore since his dash was changed.

Oh wow, another person with what they think is an original idea that has already been shown to be dumb many, many, many, many times.

As a Tristana whose WHOLE KIT is negated by WindWall, I say yank the ability entirely and buff his kit elsewhere. Otherwise, I'll keep banning his happy ass because: a) I hate the thing (even though other abilities in his kit are actually stronger) b) 9 times out of 10 Yasuo mains get tilted when their champ is banned

No.

Stop it with giving windwall an hp bar. It's not something that's going to happen nor something remotely good for the game.

the whole point of windwall IS TO WALK AROUND IT. Not stand in front of it hoping it will magically disappear. Giving it an HP bar is literally completely killing the entire point of the skill, yall need to STFU about it.

And just because you're fed as fuck it doesn't mean you get to rightclick everything or faceroll your ass on your keyboard and do not need to play around champion kits.

PLS Nerf YASUO And the people that are commenting pls dont comment u yasuo mains

Riot Games are very careful with skirmishers, Especially the part of their kits where they have a strong defensive tool, If this change ever happens, I would rather have Riot Games give him another ability, Just my two cents.

Another problem with WW is that it blocks some abilities that shouldn't be blocked. For instance Malphite's Q, it moves along the ground, it shouldn't be considered a projectile.

Yasuo was strong in S5,6, tank and lifesteal yasuo. But as a yasuo main, I have to say that yasuo is extremely weak right now against most mid laners. His E, his main mobility comes from minions or enemies, and it has a 6 second CD which means that every wave you can only get 7 dashes then the first one cools down(Not mentioning the fact that you probably already killed the first creep) Against champions with strong mobility, dmg, cc, yasuo can't really do anything because his shield only blocks spells or AA once. Which means his W is needed to block AA or projectiles. The fact that the windwall can only stay in one area and he's a bruiser, the current windwall is pretty balanced. Plus you mentioned about ADCs. Have you not thought of walking around the windwall? Or just not engage at all? Because once the windwall goes on CD, adcs have spells to close up distance with yasuo and he'll be easily kited. People who think yasuo is broken are just trash with no capability to play the champions they are talking about.
