i cri. All you need to do is to make his Ult's % Bonus Armor Pen (which is only good against tanks who stack lots of bonus armor) apply only on critical strikes. Nerf the problem champions of the plebs before they ruin worlds.

They're too busy nerfing Shen, because he's clearly the problem.

We understand but it's still stupid to nerf and buff champs for the all player base because of %0.000000000000000000000000000000000000001 of the players

Worlds are going to be played on the next patch. And do you remember last worlds where we saw the same top laners every single game because they were busted and literally a guaranteed win (aside from that one game that crashed when GP vs Morde happen, humorously)? This Worlds shouldn't be like that.

as a yasuo main, im pretty sad, i know the tank yasuo is cancer But i really dont think 10 bans are good for the game now its not gonna be about pick or ban now the op champions will be banned and everybody will be playing second tier champs

JnFnRu13 votes

And whats wrong with that? Take some champs that actually require skill to play rather than the usual OP suspects.... Cant wait!

Spicy Rice8 votes

Thing is, if all the "OP" champs are banned, people are gonna find the next best thing and all play that. People will always find an op to play

Ralanr5 votes

Plus people will want more bans eventually.

And with ten bans, some champions will never see the light of day depending on the Elo. Not even if they're relatively fine, but rather because they are annoying to play against.

Zed's banrate is going to stay high if not increase with ten bans.

JoshuasDaddy1 votes

i dont even like tank yasuo i play him just for elo he takes no skill and isnt meant to be played that way

WolfChases2 votes

People usually ban Darius Fiora Yasuo Zed Leblanc Caitlyn in my Elo. Everyone is gonna get 2 more bans so I think those will be Ekko Gangplank Nidalee and probably Vayne so none of my mains is in danger :D I could even replace Vayne with Ashe ban.

In the other hand, I agree with you that 10 bans are way too much, Riot should make it 8 instead. And as Yasuo main, why are you against the nerf? Wouldn't you like to see your main available often? He is banned 9 out of 10 games, I am wondering how do you even manage to get him :D :D

JoshuasDaddy1 votes

i stomp every silver game with the tanksyo build because they almost never ban yasuo and if they do i still have my other booster triforce ekko but yes 8bans are good

BIH Diamond1 votes

The only games where Yasuo will be permabanned are sillver/gold games

In other words, garbage and irrelevant games

WolfChases1 votes

Wrong. My rank on this acc was Plat 3 as you can see my icon and he was almost 80% ban there. I have another acc which is Plat 2 and he's also close to 80 ban there. Idk about Diamond +, never been there but I doubt it changes much. Yasuo is like 1st ban, it seems that the guy who bans second cries in a corner because the first ban guy had that divine oportunity to ban Yasuo first.

BIH Diamond1 votes

My smurf is plat 3 my main is diamond. I never see Yasuo banned. Only garbage players ban him

WolfChases1 votes

Yes I guess I am garbage. Playing lol since 2012. every single day and reached Platinum 3 in a single week. I know nothing about this game. Sorry sempai.

paisy2 votes

Was it confirmed though? I just thought they were thinking about it

Komatose4 votes

I don't know why the upvotes are happening. 10 bans was not confirmed, they are just going to be looking into it. I still think 10 bans is a horrible idea.

Dr Poro1 votes

When they announce that they're planning something for next year, it's likely that it's happening. Otherwise they'd say 'it's too soon to talk about' or 'we're open for it, but not working on it yet, nothing for the near future' (like with replays). They're just still figuring out how to make 10 bans happen without making the draft phase longer. I imagine that on top of having 2 bans per side at a time, they'll add something like a ready button where you can preload your ban and it will lock in a few seconds after it's your turn so that you can still click to unready. Perhaps the ban phase could also be limited in time like 10 secs per person (except for player 1 due to connecting and stuff), but while removing the penalty when missing out your ban. It's an opportunity, if you miss your ban, you just lost that advantage.

Like SoloQ happened?

9 bans*

It's actually 8 bans since Zed is going to fill one of those perma-slots aswell.

Yasuo won't be picked at Worlds, there is no reason to pick him there.

Poske7 votes

Implying yasuo is strong enough for worlds hehe

atomicwit6 votes

Objectively, I don't get why he'd be nerfed. He's barely viable in competitive as it is and I can't remember the last time he was picked this season. Are we really balancing around suboptimal play? That's guaranteed to just gut champions for those playing them at high level.

Zerenza1 votes

It's because tank Yasuo doesn't even build Crit (which was kind of the reason he was created), he just takes Fervor and then gets Tri-Force which get's him to his power spike MUCH faster than the usual crit build. And as we know Yasuo scales VERY well with items, so imagine if Gangplank for example could get his power spike without Infinity Edge, or if Akali didn't need gunblade.

It's kind of dumb that a snowball champion like yasuo that scales better than most other champions in the game can take Trinity force, Frozen mallet and then build full tank. Completely ignoring the whole "Crit" mechanic he was build for but still 1v5.

That's why making the Armor pen only apply to crits would erase tank yasuo from the game.

Serika Zero1 votes

the thing is, building crit on yasou might take effect earlier due to his double crit rates. But his Q and auto attacks deal less damage on crits. Meaning, his Q and auto attacks are weaker when they crit. So, people stopped playing him crit mode.

Zerenza1 votes

Yeah and that's the problem, he's supposed to be played crit mode. I honestly think it's Tri Force that's causing it cause even Ekko an AP ASSASSIN! Builds it instead of going AP. Like wtf, he even takes Fervor now. That makes no sense.

Serika Zero3 votes

actually its fervor. It allows them to stay tanky and makes their auto attacks deal like +180dmg per auto attack in late game.

The way I play Yasou is: Phantom Dancer -> Tank. The reason why other Yasuo players go Trinity Force is the speed buff they get from phage, as they get from singer and extra damage from sheen. I prefer Phantom Dancer for its dueling ability.

The reason they also build frozen mallet (which btw took a big nerf on pbe) is because you slow targets. So, you having big movement speed + mobility from E + them getting slowed = you get a lot of auto attacks out. And fervor gives your a bunch of dmg for that.

Similar for Ekko. He has mobility on E + his passive slowing the enemy target + q slowing the enemy target. So, if you add phage for movement speed and singer for attack speed. Trinity force is great for you to proc as many fervor of battle auto attacks as possible.

WolfChases6 votes

Lol wtf are you talking about?

Shit ton of champions were nerfer BECAUSE OF COMPETITIVE and let me list you a few of them Elise Kalista Khazix Kindred LeeSin Maokai RekSai Sejuani and even if you check PBE now Riot is planning to nerf Shen lol because he's "Too Strong in LCS"

Sidestep4 votes

Although I agree with prob all on your list, lee sin has received nothing but buffs for a while now.

WolfChases1 votes

As far as I know he got some nerfs and than buffs and nerfs again so he kinda fell out of favor. I may be wrong but look at Elise for example. I barely se her in my games, when I played Rankeds (Plat III) I thought I am the only one who plays her, same goes for normals, saw Elise few days ago once and she sucked. It looks like Pros pick her only because of her 1st 15 minutes and team comps, other than that She can't even duel an ADC anymore. I remember back in season 3 when I was able to literally 1shoot a squishy as semi tank Elise xD

Kalista and Kindred are literally deleted, Sejuani got nerfed because of cinderhulk while they also nerfed that Item leaving Sejuani in a dark corner. At the end, do I have to mention Rek'Sai who got only nerfs and nerfs to the point where she doesn't have damage nor utility anymore, she's literally just a flash+knockup bot.

I have never bitched about nerfs because I have my mains and I will always play them no metter what, since I don't care about current ranked system and climbing untill Riot removes Dynamic but I am really sad about current state of a jungle. Junglers are forced to play 3 champions at max in any kind of higher Elo (rank/normal) if they want to stay relevant.

when did lee get nerfed?

Junkο1 votes

I love how the guy got downvoted, but you are getting upvoted, when you 2 are saying the same thing.

Yasuo isn't strong in pro play, Riot balances mostly around pro play, aka Yasuo won't and shouldn't be nerfed.

WolfChases2 votes

False. Riot is not balancing only around pro play. If they do, they would never nerf Akali, never nerf Katarina, never nerf Zed, etc. Heck they are also reworking Rengar, Le Blanc, Talon and Katarina because they are ''unhealthy'' while no one is picking them in LCS except Le Blanc.

If Yasuo shouldn't get nerfed or reworked than Riot should never put thir hands on Talon, Kata and Rengar as well.

I smelly a filthy tank ekko main

paisy3 votes

I'm annoyed because the nerf is hurting ap Ekko as well

Junkο8 votes

Implying AP Ekko doesn't deal too much damage either (as a result of getting a shit ton of AP ratio compensations when tank Ekko got nerfed). He doesn't really need the damage that is getting nerfed.

Kadavik1 votes

He needs a better and more consistent damage curve. He should be an all around relatively dangerous threat, not a hyper carry. And tank Ekko isnt helping.

GayFluffyUnicorn1 votes

Do you even play ekko? He is gargabe tier as AP currently. What do you need AP ratios for when your whole early game got gutted? He is feast or famine right now, the opposite of healthy.

Junkο1 votes

All he had to do is land his Q (both parts) and E and somebody is dead lol.

His early game stops being garbage the moment he finishes 1 item, and most champions have a shitty early game until that point.

It because it a World's patch. They are nerfing the competitive picks for the next couple patches, not the solo queue ops.

ABSINTHEged3 votes

Speaking as someone who despises yasuo, he doesn't really need nerfs. The items that created tank yasuo do.

They're breaking lots of other champions too.
