The "Yasuo is so OP" is just a myth, but...

item 3046 is just too good. Yasuo has his fair share of problems but he isn't that good, if Phantom Dancer was nerfed.

Yasuo has a bigger kit than most champions, which is why people think he is OP but also ban him when their teammates hover him. When people know how to use him he just wrecks games but when someone doesn't know how to use him it makes it look like the player is just a monkey on the computer. I want to make sure you guys understand that Yasuo rushing PD gives him enough stat coverage to cover up not purchasing AD until his second item. It's a 30% crit item that is cost efficient, easy to buy, provides all the stats Yasuo needs, and surprisingly enough is OP on him. It gives Yasuo 60% crit which basically gives him free AD and movement speed. It also lowers his Q cooldown which synergizes with his whole kit. That's better than what most top laners rush. It provides too much for it's cost. Most assassins don't build crit so he is going off of a build for crit ADCs that usually scale into the late game at 30 minutes, but he gets that power spike at 20-25 minutes due to his passive.

In conclusion Yasuo is not really op, he's strong but in general nerfing item 3046 would fix a large amount of Yasuos crazy early game issues that are present. Yasuo should be encouraged to build AD or offensive items at the start not a crit item that most ADCs get as a third item.

The only thing op about him is his passive, and the fact that his windwall can stop ultimates is a bit bs.

I don't think so, they should nerf his passive. Double the crit chance is so fucking broken, you get a crit item and Infinity Edge and 100%

It may seem broken but it really isn't. He has to get up in your face to deal the damage, so if you miss-position and end up getting blown up that's your fault. He is an assassin. I will say this, his nado shouldn't crit but that's about it.

Honestly, if they made it so he didn't get double crit and then gave him 100% crit damage on autos, he'd be less obnoxious. As it is, he's not broken or anything

100% crit damage on auto

being: a) crits do nothing(100% damage - less than Ashe) b) crits do double damage (+100% - like most) or c) crits do triple(normal 200% + 100%)

Because I cannot tell. All of them could be correct based on how you worded it. The first if you are being sarcastic, the second on the argument that he has more survivability tools than XinZhao, yet Xin has only 200% crit damage, or the third as a compensation buff for him upon him losing 1/2 of his crit from his regular build(this one would be better as 250% base, less op, compared to 300%, and requiring a squishier build to make 100% crit chance).

I meant it as the same functionality as every other champion (except Jhin and Graves)

PD is definitely an issue. 12% damage reduction on a 2550 item is not okay at all. Early on it´s too much, later on it's still too much. If it gave scalling damage reduction, like .5%/level after purchase or something, then its price would be justified. But as it stands, PD should cost at least 2800 if not 3k+ so people can´t rush it easily.
