Sorry Riot, but Yasuo is in such a terrible spot there isn't really a way to fix him.

Hibeki··7 votes·398 views

It isn't a matter of a numbers game anymore, he needs an entire kit rework if you want him to be in a healthy position in a meta.

There are plenty of arguments for both unbalanced and balanced in the aspect of yasuos numbers. People say he requires a lot of skill and is in a balanced spot, but there are also plenty of arguments against that.

His central idea is just simply too toxic. Buffing or nerfing him will not and cannot fix any problems and put him in a healthy spot no matter what you do.

The fact that a W can potentially make several champions in a fight be completely irrelevant is absolutely absurd, no amount of number fixing in anything else can fix that.

You can't fix having double benefits from possibly the best stat in the game either, he either will do next to zero damage and make him not worth playing or be absurdly high.

You can't fix the infinite dashes either, having infinite mobility is toxic in every aspect.

Sorry all, but no amount of number changing can fix this.

I honestly think you got it spot on. Numbers alone wont fix yasuo he needs a complete rework.

His whole kit is extremely toxic and im glad you said it yourself. His W completely nullifies a majority of champions. If you're team fighting and yasuo throws the W where the adc is it forces the adc to either get closer and risk dying or leave the fight completely for about 4 seconds.

Yasuo as a champion is an utter failure imo and it screams "toxic".

Not only does he sport an antifun kit, the fact that people pick him when teams are full ad already

Why do people say he's broken? Compared to other champions he's flexible and balanced.

Id say a W that negates multiple champions in any fight is pretty broken

I'd also say that having multiple full fledged passives (either of those passive could go on any champion) is pretty broken too

First of all I think yasuo needs a rework.

But i have to disagree with whole passive tingy

Yasuo Used to have 2 passives alright. Then they gutted him

His base stats are ultra horrible because of shield passive. His crit passive is irelevant since no good yasuo builds crit. Trinity > Mallet > Full tank is the way to go

So yeah Riot designed A light fighter who ended up going full tank because how vulnerable he is and how easly he explodes. Despite his almighty windwall dashes

We both want yasuo reworked but for a different reasons. It just shows how much he needs it

It kinda feels like all the mechanics are yasuo burden. Surviving longer then 4 seconds with crit build is hard and in those 4 seconds he manages to piss people off

Personally I cant stand the fact that his core item is trinity since it gives cdr and mana which yasuo doesnt want

Eh yasuo has so many issues

One windwall shouldn't negate 5 ults in a split second

It's possible, but unlikely.

MF ult? windwall. Viktor E? windwall.

Basically anything that isn't an on hit attack or placed AOE is considered a projectile to him.

Oh they can gut - I mean fix his ass all right.

I'd like to see a rework with his flow mechanic acting as his resource. It's a bit silly to me that he was given a unique mechanic acting in place of a resource bar that is literally "run around and get a shield." Having a resource to limit his dashing and wind wall would give his opponent ample time to react and respond to yasuo's movements rather than counterplay to him being "survive and wait until he makes the mistake." Then buff other areas of his kit to compensate and balance appropriately.
