Just rework Yasuo already, PLEASE

It is unbelievable, Yasuo is just such a toxic champion. He is unfun to play with, he is unfun to play against, literally the only people enjoying him are the people playing him.

His kit is so fucking overloaded and his build is propably the most cost efficient build in this game, just build a PD and IE and you are good to go. You are giving him a free shield, double crit chance, basically infinite mobility, a CANCEROUS windwall, an ult that even gives him ARPEN for absolutely no trade, like seriously? I've had games where a Yasuo goes 0-8 and just hits his 2 item powerspikes and just 4v1's.

I simply do not understand how Riot simply REFUSES to do something. What Yasuo needs is an overworked kit, it is just so much utility its unbelievable

So I guess Tryndamere Pantheon and others who are in a much greater need of a rework can just sit on the sidelines and wait.

Because they're kits are actually toxic. Take Pantheon. He's binary, frustrating, and outdated. He spams you with point and click spears, predictably engages with a point-and-click W whenever the opportunity arises. At least Yasuo, as cancerous as he is, has a fairly up-to-date kit with more than one or two ways to use it, as well as several ways to counter him that isn't just "stack armor, hug tower, and wait for him to be useless".

But no, the rework goes to Yasuo, because he definitely deserves it. Not just a few nerfs to shift around his power to something that's less frustrating, a full goddamn rework.

Honestly his utility is insane for a skirmisher compared to other skirmishers like Fiora Tryndamere MasterYi

His overall utility puts some tanks to shame. between the 1 second knockup on his q that he can prepare that goes down to a low cooldown of 4 seconds as long as he hits his q against enemy. His windwall that can block all projectiles and is an instant cast for 4 seconds is super powerful in being able to save an ally or himself from being caught out. His ult that procs off any Ally displacements/neutral objectives displacements that crowd controls for a second is great follow up cc in any engage or if he uses his e q combo with knockup for an easy way to proc his ult.

That alone on top of everything else in his kit basically makes him god tier in terms of utility along with a strong duelist kit and teamfight potential with great late game scaling. leaving his only medicore laning phase his weak point and even then unless the enemy laner is melee he has a massive advantage against them with his kit naturally high mobility in lane and high base movement speed. to dodge abilities or his shield to proc autos or his windwall to block key abilities from an enemy projectile or his ability to hold his knockup for up to 10 seconds for a gank. Makes his laning phase way better then it should be for a champion with such insane scalings, duelist potential and teamfight potential.

Okay. Your post is just salt, but let's dissect it.

'Most cost efficient build in the game' Melee carries need steroids. Yasuo's is more gold efficiency, Master Yi gets true damage, bonus ad, MS, AS and on-hit multiplication.

"Free shield". You ignore the fact that 1) It has a cd. 2) Popped by a single auto attack. 3) Lasts one second (extremely easy to play around). It's not infinite mobility, it is limited to the targets around him. Play aggro with it and you end up with no mobility and under their tower. 'Cancerous windwall'. Doesn't mean anything at all. Supposedly you're trying to say it has no counterplay. Of course. Because you can't walk around it. His ult is harder to trigger naturally, so no, it isn't quite free.

To top it off, you main graves. I don't see any bias at all here.

Apparently you've never heard of these champions that easily counter him. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/l3HMALfodb8/hqdefault.jpg

He is pretty annoying but they would have to do a sion level rework (i.e just keep the name but make an entirely new champion) if they wanted to rework him. He really isnt too bad right now, but I can see the cancer that he brings to every match. Im surprised tho to see so many yasuo hate threads talking about his windwall all of a sudden. he has been out for 3 years and no one really complained about the windwall for a long time.
