Yasuo is nerfed so many times for no good reasons. He is even squishier than Caitlyn, who is ranged. He is now slower than Katarina, Talon and Pantheon, who are the frequent mid champions. Yasuo was perfect when he had 512 base health and 350 movement speed.
He was oppressive in lane, he still is, just not that bad. A yasou should have a weak eaely game abs decent mid, but instead, he was able to fight most mages 1v1 throughout laning phase. It was just very hard for skill shot champs and high mana cost champs
His kit is just to Good. Dash, shield, no resource, double pen, ult that most junglers can set up. .etc
got
"Yasuo was perfect when he had Gangplank's level 1 Health and Akali level move speed."
He was supposed to have a somewhat bad early game
... and he didn't.
Good Yasuo is unstoppable. Good Yasuo can dodge all puny skillshots. Players who didn't reach his skillcap can find this nerfs frustarting. But playing vs skillful Yasuo even more frustrating.
Because people kept QQing about windwall and his crit steroid.
Melee carries need attack steroids. Yasuo doesn't have a huge attack speed steroid like yi, they went with his crit passive.
And rather than fix his kit, they gave him a band-aid nerf and called it good.
Also
Talon and Pantheon, who are the frequent mid champions.
When the hell have you seen a pantheon mid?
There is legitimately no reason for one of the most mobile champions in the game to have 350 movespeed.
I don't care how melee he is, I don't care that his mobility is tied to target based use, he does not need 350 base movespeed
Why he had it in the first place is a mystery to me.
As for his health nerf, I'm not sure that was necessary, but he's SO oppressive in lane, I'm not surprised that he might have needed that, too.
