I just thought of an idea for Windwall
What if instead of anything that hits it vanishing it applies it's AoE effect on top of the area around the windwall? So instead of a bomb just vanishing out of existance it's exploding on the windwall. This I feel would at least give yasuo some counter play while making him easier to balance.
And this keeps it as a defensive tool while helping to make it a little less useful in offense.
And for abilties that actually have dynamic hit boxes and stuff like
rifts they simply don't form after the windwall instead of awkward disappearing the second they hit it. And things like
ult would simply instantly start the return cycle.
This also enforces the fact that Yasuo is supposed to be behind the windwall for it to be the most effective instead of dancing from side to side singing Can't Touch This.
who has a mobile wind wall that takes damage and has everything explode on contact meaning the AoE can still seep past him. To me this is the only way to justify how long wind wall sits up and how fast the cast time is (instant)
at least has the downside of having to sit still and do nothing to use his.
's parry and that has it's trade offs. No mobility for complete invincibility.
