I think the one thing im pretty sure everyone hates about yasuo
Is his lack of resource pool (CDs) His itemization. See, he can still very much build into frozen mallet, it may not be super strong anymore, that doesnt mean it doesnt work, and it also doesnt mean its weak on him. Yes they nerfed him so glass cannon is more effective, however this doesnt make him completely garbage if he builds bruiser. Wits end and frozen mallet are very strong on him still. While i understand he is one of those champions that has to get in your face to do anything, the same can be said for assassins in the midlane. I have never seen tank katarina, and i doubt it would be good in any way. I would even go as far to say as it would just amke her dead weight. Now like cases like ekko, i am not sure what they did that made yasuo/ekko type cases excel at abusing bruiser itemization while certain assassins are garbage at doing. Tanky Lb, Tanky Katarina, Tanky Zed, Tanky Talon I havent seen these assassins ever thrive on major bruiser items. Why? Because ap/ad ratios scale with glass cannon yes?
Tl;Dr to end this rant that will get a million downvotes from being salty against yasuo, in order to stabilize him and make people hate him less, give him some sort of high cds and fix his scalings . /endqqrant
