I think yasuo needs changes in preparation for these upcoming Crit item changes..

I dont just mean the IE change but i also mean the change to PD too... another item which grants crit and now AD AS and a shield ...

another item which will be too much overkill on yas

with PD he will have crit chance AS but also another shield on top of his passive and i can also see bruiser yasuo building steraks too PD shield + steraks shield + passive + wind wall .... This is too much defensive options for someone who is swift and mobile which that damage

ugh, both steraks and the PD shield will be part of the same Lifeline - UNIQUE PASSIVE SET no? so, he couldnt build pd AND steraks. but i will aggree his numbers should be tampered with so he doesnt get out of control with the changes, ALTHOUGH, pd is also goign to be missing the % dmg reduction and the MS while chasing people. so he will be losing a bit of the dueling potential and chasing too. but im sure, and i have a bit of faith that riot wont let one of my favorite mid laners get TOO out of hand. but thats cause the majority seem to dislike yasuo, so i just hope he doesnt go down to shit.

I in comparison hope, that he will be guttet entirely so all yasuo players will feel like ppl that have to lane against yasuo. Get yourselfe some honor.

I have Quite alot of honor for myself, Yasuo isnt all win and Feast. there is some famine there you know, Play the champion for yourself and youll see that hes not as bad as everyone here in NA makes it seem. and has quite exploitable disadvantages while playing him. Drop the Hate everything yasuo act and learn the champion to play it. and see what yasuo players have to deal with. :P a new perspective may help you out. after all, before Vayne and Riven, i mained him myself.

No you havent, you play yasuo, aka your abusing the game. Yasuo provides little to no counterplay at all. 1 squarekilometer windwall (also protecting his back (¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿), unlimited dashes, no mana cost, 50% armor pen for 15 s, 2 s cooldown on q, and ridiculous passive making him tankier than 4k health 500 armor malphite.

Yes is see the cpunterplay, i see the balance, i see the "exploitable disadvantage" . irony off.

It would be super easy to fix him.

  1. make the windwall a parrey
  2. delete his passive
  3. add manacost
  4. make the dash a skillshot, that cant cross walls, and has 10s inseatd of 2s cd when missed.

Pick at least two (preferrably more) and there u have a fair, balanced champion.

Dashes have cooldowns on each target he dashes too, no targets to dash too, no dashes. no mana yes, but many champions dont use mana, so thats far from his problem. Armor pen only After he ults, and Only on his Critical attacks, which at lvl 6 isnt an overbearing thing at all, given he probably wont have a zeal there. for the argument that dash shouldnt go over walls, He only has 3 (4) ish places he can effectively walldash per side of the map, and if he messes it up, he can't just try again cause it will put it on cooldown. Windwall has a very large CD and given he doesnt build any CDR it STAYS a long cooldown, and as a melee champion it his only protection from it. his passive flow shield only comes up if hes moving, which really messes him up if he has nothing to dash too again, so there is that silly weakness again. and dont try to give him inflated numbers to make your case, his shield can only be instantly redone with the cast of his ultimate. lower in the ELO he may be a noob stomper for sure. but the more you know about him, inside and out, the easier the matchup becomes against him, and if you play him, youll find those out.

but i willllll aggree that his windwalls hitbox should be more effective and well rounded so it blocked only where it is and is more exact. but thats about all ill agree with.

every champion has counterplay, and you can find it out by playing them to see how hard it really is. but hey, if you choose to stay blind to it cause your vendetta against the champion, more power to you. but take my advice, play the champion. and also, Its not abusing if you play him in normals, or vs a skill level that also knows his weaknesses and how to prevent him from being a problem. then its simply just playing the game. Which i urge you to do, without such a harsh look at him. or other champions you find to be "broken".

have you ever played yasuo in your life? yeah when you say all of this , it sounds broken. But its not like you can do all of this easily. His windwall is an amazing tool given to him , and it was asked for that ability to be given to a fighter, but in team fights so much goes down you dont get the most use of it , which is good for the game. The strength of windwall comes in lane. and it has a 24 sec cooldown and you max it last. yasuos own passive makes him deal less dmg. once you dash through something , you cant dash to it again. Plus as much as you may hate to admit it , Yasuo takes skill ,and yeah yasuo can go in get a 3-5 man knock up , shred the adc and move on to the tanks that were supposed to protect them. its hard to do , very hard in this meta , because yes yasuo deletes , but so does everyone. play a game of yasuo and you will see why there is only one challenger yasuo main in NA. only one challenger yasuo main in korea. And why almost no one plays yasuo in high elo. He takes too much effort and skill to be effective with. So thats why the enemy yasuo goes 14-2 and the yasuo on your team feeds. because the other one knows how to play his champ and yours is flashing his m7 , but cant land a nado , a yas main but not a good one. When you say 'yasuo has no counter play at all' im assuming youre a mage who is too scared to do anything because you automatically assume yasuo can 1v1 you like no problem ,and there is nothing you can do about it. And if you think thats the case youre just not good at the game. a good player knows the limit of the champs they play , and what they can do , knowing match ups and how to play against them. Maybe you are good and you just hate yasuo , and think hes a stupid champ that ruins the game , thats fine , join the angry mage , supp and adc club that thinks the same thing. Everyone has a champ they hate like that, but you just cant be blinded thinking this champ is op. PLay at least 5 back to back games of yasuo (which is impossible since hes banned a lot ;-;), and see why this champion is STILL the way he is and riot hasnt gutten him.

have you ever played yasuo in your life?

for sure and i have never played a more overloaded champi9n than him. Even akali was more balanced.

yeah when you say all of this , it sounds broken.

sure because of it is.

But its not like you can do all of this easily. His windwall is an amazing tool given to him , and it was asked for that ability to be given to a fighter, but in team fights so much goes down you dont get the most use of it , which is good for the game. The strength of windwall comes in lane. and it has a 24 sec cooldown and you max it last.

like you said its an amazing tool given to him, bit its way to strong and the cooldown isnt close to be balanced for the utility it provides. Its not like it does only last for 0.25 seconds either, giving yasuo wqy to much time.

yasuos own passive makes him deal less dmg. once you dash through something , you cant dash to it again.

Do you seriously want to tell me, that u think a dash without any cd is balnced? Do you want to tell me that it matters that you can jump to the same target twice (what only has a 8s cd if i remeber it correctly)?

Plus as much as you may hate to admit it , Yasuo takes skill ,and yeah yasuo can go in get a 3-5 man knock up , shred the adc and move on to the tanks that were supposed to protect them. its hard to do , very hard in this meta , because yes yasuo deletes , but so does everyone.

Yasuo may take 3 games to learn how to use him, its maybe easy to learn hard to master. but that doesnt matter at all, cause if u get one kill early, or dont get camped u will scale exorbitantly. And thats the point. Its not fair to have champs like yasuo irelia or akali in this game, that force you to at least place 2 ppl at their lane to kill them, automatically reducing your overall mappreassure.

Play agame of yasuo and you will see why there is only one challenger yasuo main in NA. only one challenger yasuo main in korea. And why almost no one plays yasuo in high elo.

Sure hes not played often considering challenger hold 0.02%(world) of all players, while we have 140 different champions, aswell as proplay is more focused on teamwork.

He takes too much effort and skill to be effective with. So thats why the enemy yasuo goes 14-2 and the yasuo on your team feeds. because the other one knows how to play his champ and yours is flashing his m7 , but cant land a nado , a yas main but not a good one.

nonsense. 50/50

When you say 'yasuo has no counter play at all' im assuming youre a mage who is too scared to do anything because you automatically assume yasuo can 1v1 you like no problem ,and there is nothing you can do about it. And if you think thats the case youre just not good at the game.

Wrong assumption :`( If u had read closely, then u would know that i said hes providing little to no counterplay. Whats true 100% because of his shield, windwall, mobilty and high damage at the same time. The best counterplay is to gank him aka use up 2 or more ppl.

a good player knows the limit of the champs they play , and what they can do , knowing match ups and how to play against them. Maybe you are good and you just hate yasuo , and think hes a stupid champ that ruins the game , thats fine , join the angry mage , supp and adc club that thinks the same thing.

you know yasuo is the most hated champion for a reason. Its not like the critic is cokming from nowhere. He is unbalced, he is overloaded, he is to strong. And only ppl. playing him (what seems be many ppl), not ppl. that had to play vs him, are defending them. Yasuo is the most controversial champ since his introduction. Of course do especially adcs and support hate yasup, because for them its the worst to play against a yasuo, because of hes providing only minimal counterplay (which evaporates to nothing if he has more than 10 games).

Everyone has a champ they hate like that, but you just cant be blinded thinking this champ is op.

Thats true, but there is a reason that for many many ppl this champ is yasuo. I think u are beeing delusionary saying hes balanced or to weak.

PLay at least 5 back to back games of yasuo (which is impossible since hes banned a lot ;-;), and see why this champion is STILL the way he is and riot hasnt gutten him.

I already have and as you can see im still of the same opinion.

Increase his Ult's power and CD, make it grant him extra AD but nerf his damage from his Q and AA's Right now Yasuo deals too much consistent damage and that is why he so powerful. too much damage and too safe.

IG Ziko1 votes

If ADC will be broken again and kills squishies with 2 crits mid game why can't Yasuo do the same?

I mean I hate Yasuo, but I lost hope in the future of this game when they decided to make ADC broken again instead of nerfing other broken things. The game will be balanced when everything is broken, right?

ArfBarkBoof1 votes

Do you really expect Riot to do anything remotely profound to CertainlyT's baby? The last big nerf he got was back in somewhere like S5 - S6 so he had to build crit to get the bonus armor pen on critical strikes from his R.

God forbid they remove that stupidly cost-efficient passive of doubling his crit chance baseline.

Hammermancer1 votes

I think he shouldactually get 10% crit for each death

bc it'd be fucking funny to see his 0/10 power spike

but no more passive crits

Atmosphere1 votes

He needs a rework to his W and his passive. The double crit chance has always been and will always be a broken passive, allowing for a one item spike on a champion who builds like a bruiser and an ADC. Alongside that, his W makes it overly difficult to fight him if you have any ranged abilities that you rely on for damage. His play pattern is obnoxious to play against, and even when behind, he still poses a massive threat if unchecked.
