Personally, I think this would make Yasuo permabanned. What problems do you forsee?

I hope the 5,000 gold version never sees the light of date as it stands. It's just too good as a single item in my eyes. It's hard to counter that much damage, and I main rammus.

It's sad cuz it looks like a great solution. Takes longer to buy and therefore the huge IE spike in lane isn't so much a factor. Problem comes late game when full builds are online and anyone that has an IE has a 2k gold advantage in item stats.

If they bumped up the stats even more, re-added double crit for other items (so IE + Zeal item = 100%) but made it take up 2 item slots I could see it possibly working.

Armor already feels like a trash purchase... guess I just play all damage all the time.

Personally I don't see a problem with Yas being permabanned. Maybe riot will get off their butts and finally detox their game and corporate culture.

It just got me thinking, if they go with the 5k IE, Yasuo basically gets 100% Crit Chance with one item.

Spicy RiceDec 23, 20182 votes

thing is, the build path is pretty shitty, and you need ass loads of att spd early to cap q cd asap.

Only thing 5k ie will do is move yasuo away from pd, and more towards rushing wits end more often

BLIGHTBRINGERDec 23, 20181 votes

Why Wits End of all items lol?

Spicy RiceDec 24, 20181 votes

It’s cheap, it gives a ton of attackspeed, and has on hit damage. It’s already being picked up as a first item by yasuos when facing ap heavy comp

Flawless FetusDec 24, 20182 votes

Yup. 5k for 100% crit, but no AS which will result for a high cd on his primary damage ability. If this iteration of IE is shipped, yas will be crippling himself if he rushes it. People are pretending like it's an early game buff for him. It's not. Lol.

BLIGHTBRINGERDec 24, 20183 votes

Except the 5k IE does give Attack Speed, +30% to be exact.

SunDragonzDec 24, 20181 votes

Not enough to cap his main damage source which is his Q even with AS boots

BLIGHTBRINGERDec 24, 20181 votes

Yup. 5k for 100% crit, but no AS

Well yeah but I was just pointing out that Attack Speed does in fact exist in the item, regardless if it's good or not for Yasuo Q Cooldown Mechanic.

Flawless FetusDec 24, 20181 votes

Not sure how I missed that. Thanks for correcting me. The point still stands, albeit to a lesser extent.

BLIGHTBRINGERDec 24, 20181 votes

It's all good, though I doubt that they will go with the 5k gold IE version anyway. It's way too expensive and it would be too difficult to purchase it (due to a lot of items being in the path build).

Inkling CommandoDec 23, 20183 votes

what does perma banning yasuo have to do with critting?

D357R0Y3RDec 23, 201812 votes

it's classic boards right there crit change-->yasuo becomes op

without any explination any theorycrafting, just bandwagoning

and it actually works cuz they get upvoted everytime

Cats Are FoodDec 23, 20183 votes

Probably because Yasuo really is dumb? At least at certain levels of play.

At least at certain levels of play.

Thanks for putting that there

Cats Are FoodDec 23, 20183 votes

Well it's true lol. I find his Wind Wall obnoxious, but only by the way it operates. He's pretty easy to kite or focus down, and I've other champs to worry about.

That said, he's brutal amongst those who haven't perfected kiting, or lack the ability to make plays off the CC their teammates toss out.

NyarlathοtepDec 23, 20182 votes

Easy and kite dont blend well on yasuo.

SaiannaDec 24, 20182 votes

Well, how can he NOT be affected, though? Any change for crit can either buff or nerf him, but knowing the way Riot does things nerf is never an option.

without any explination any theorycrafting, just bandwagoning

inb4 you'll get enough evidence, data and examples of Yasuo being full bonkers with crit change. I wonder what will you say then.

ArfBarkBoofDec 23, 20183 votes

You make it sound like Yasuo isn't permabanned in a majority of Ranked tiers to begin with.

FioraWillCarryDec 23, 20182 votes

He still sees a surprising amount of play. These changes, whatever direction they go will push him over the top.

Nausicäa Dec 24, 20183 votes

Terrible. ADC's dont need another fucking rework, the only reason ADCs are 'bad' is because damage across the entire game is fucking stupid and they cant survive. Even Brusiers and tanks basically fucking 1 shot you.

But of course Riot wont address the real problem because the are fucking idiots.

KaishaDec 24, 20182 votes

Community: Season 8 has too much dmg!! RIOT: hold my beer...

HekaPimpDec 24, 20182 votes

I want tri force with crit again :c

Anchorit WracajDec 24, 20182 votes

Lmaoo....they're giving more damage...yeahhhh...buff adcs and adc item as much as u want.In this damage meta they will REMAIN the GREY screen. GL surviving master yi/tryndamere,leblancs and so on..

boricCentaur1Dec 23, 20181 votes

I like the changes to dance, maw, and I really like the 2nd storm. I do not know how I feel about the Ie changes I feel like the 5k could be cool but I can see it causing problems and the 2nd one is just old ie so you will still have problems. Essence Reaver I think could work with more adcs if crit cost less but it does not solve the problem that crit and early damage is worth more then mana and they just should revert it like it needs crit to be good and the passive is not that good like lucian and ez and only adcs that make good use of it Riot needs to just revert it.
