8/29 PBE Update

Someone made a thread a while ago, trying to suggest some Yasuo changes. Riot listened. From these early changes to him, it looks like he will be forced to itemize crit and damage if he wants deal any damage, like he is supposed to be built. You can still go bruiser or tank but then his ult will no longer give you free armor pen and you'll be finding a hard time killing people with a plastic knife. #** His ult effect only applies to his crits now and for bonus armor.**

I surely hope you won't easily forget this day and sweep it under a rug when some other problem manages to plague League and you accuse Riot again for not giving a damn about us.


This is early PBE and there's still room for iteration. Don't jump to conclusions just yet. However, some people believe that whatever Riot puts on PBE never gets reverted and to these people, you can sleep easy tonight by knowing it's only a matter of time for these changes to hit Live.

I saw that, and was rather surprised that they are actually trying a reasonable suggestion made on these very boards.

Even so... Sorry, but no. One moment of actually listening and making some of the changes people have asked for doesn't excuse the fact that the champion has been ruining games for three years now.

To be fair, they're listening to their 'data', which just so happens to align with the majority of the board's desires as a result of the dual-ult bug fix/bug creation.

They are NOT nerfing Yasuo because people are complaining about him, otherwise he'd have base stats of 0 and 10 base HP, and a 1% winrate 'for how popular he is' over the next 2 years.

The boards are generally absurd, but just this once a CHALLENGER player who mains the champ gave a reasonable suggestion as a nerf that **ONLY targeted the problematic build. **
