NOTE: THIS IS NOT A 'NERF YASUO' THREAD! THIS IS A KIT REWORK DISCUSSION THREAT FOR THE UPCOMING ASSASSIN UPDATE!

This had me thinking with the ban rates and the board posts regarding the disgraced samurai.

His kit is without a doubt one of the most annoying kits to fight against despite his balanced numbers, taking the top spot for me. Dash, dash, dash, Q you then dash, dash, dash back out of range as his shield or wind wall blocks your retaliation. And when it reaches the point where he buys a and it becomes a case of, "WHERE THE FUCK IS ALL THIS DAMAGE COMING FROM?!" Because he has a double crit passive and a Q to proc crit burst.

Now his kit can be reworked into something fun to use and fight against. But it's a matter of considering the player and the enemy so I created this discussion for your inputs on what his kit should have.

Why change his kit? It is unique and something that is yasuo. This is what bothers me with people. Yas is only as good as the player. He is banned for 2 reasons I see. One people don't know how to lane against him, and he can be down but finds a way to contribute to the team the longer the game goes on. He is as easy to break down as well as destroy a team. It comes down to the player and the build. What riot has plans if any I don't know. They have worked on yasuo over and over to find him a balance in the game. One thing for sure is he is unique and that in this league is best. I enjoy playing him. I like his play style. People who want the hack a shaq on Yas well they have there opinion.

Take away the shield as it is fucking retarded to receive a 500+ absorption shield on a champion who is meant to assassinate people just for walking around in a circle. Or hell, at least make it so that it's similar to Mordekaiser's where he actually receives more flow into his bar as he deals damage, this way he actually has to work for it instead of just getting it for free. It's beyond retarded and is nearly on par with Nautilus' shield which is around 650 at late game which he actually has to itemize just to receive.

Yasuo isn't an Assassin so probably nothing.

Yasuo Primary: Fighter Secondary: Assassin

Currently he is more of an assassin than anything, making picks off the enemy team like they're the first apples to fall of the tree.

Those tags are outdated. Riot released a list of the new category for all champions. IIRC Yasuo is a diver so he will not be in the assassin rework.

well he's not an assassin but here are my 2 cents:

base move speed reduced (he's got too much with his items)
dash speed now is reduced by slows.
yasuo can now be interrupted from completing last breath (by a cc). opponents will be free from the suppression and will take 1/2 damage.
