Cool New Yasuo Build --> Joining the Youmuus + Cleaver Hype Train

JerulEon··2 votes·976 views

After observing this new item 3142 + item 3071 on Lucian trend, I realized the potential early/mid game power of the build.

Since I don't play much Lucian anymore, and I felt that my main Yasuo was a little weak toplane in the early game. Of course, those are his innate weaknesses since he's a melee adc. However, even when I got first blood, sometimes I would come back to lane and still get pooped on by an 0/1 Irelia.

I know I'm not ArKaDaTa, so I tried this build: item 3142 , item 3153, item 3071 , item 3065 or item 3143, item 3086 (crit item), item 3006 .

Wow, I was so surprised at how strong Yasuo was. You shred tanks even harder after you ult, allowing you to burst them down almost as fast as a squishy carry. Try it out, and share your thoughts. If you have the correct runes (lots of attack speed) getting Youmuus first item won't feel that bad.

Edit: Beserker greaves and BotRK provide enough AS to be sufficient. It's obvious that I'm sacrificing crit chance for CDR, Health, MS boost, flat/percent Armor pen, but it's hilariously strong cuz you melt everyone while being durable yourself. Don't dish it if you haven't tried it.

The problem is that your focusing on CDR and armor pen, which arnt the best stats on yas. These stats are great on lucian, which is why people build it.

Yeah on paper it sounds bad, but you should try it in a normal game. See Edit.

I'm not saying the build is the absolute best. I just wanted show it's a cool deviation and fun to play. There's no reason to have a condescending tone.
