the case of yasuo becoming an assasin

Knight SoIaire ·Sep 10, 2015·1 votes·605 views

while he is able to deal sustained damage and he has a kit of a rather well functioning melee carry we need to notice that nerfs to his defense forced yasuo to take a very specific aproach of attempting to ult enemy carry and kill him before he gets back on the ground and if he doesnt ... well he cant survive being poked at or engaged on anymore

the thing that i would like to point out that every assassin in our game who was able to burst you down while disabling you got somehow changed

well yasuo is able to pull off such a feat ... and due to reducing his defensive option this is close to being the core of yasuo's late game ... get to ult enemy carry and kill them before they can react

Yasuo bieng primary a Fighter has always sounded odd to me.

Expecially at the time of release, other Fighter/Assa had more reliable and effective defenses and free mobility (Trynda and Fiora, I'm looking at you), plus a rather good sinergy with Life Steal as a form of sustain.

well the crap storm came when riot removed the "carry" attribute and replaced it with "marksman" melee guy cant be a marksman ... so they needed to give them some attribute the bright idea is the fighter/assassin we see in our client which totally doesn't describe it
