Ive seen on the last games yasuos who build being almost impossible to fight against him due to so much dmg and tankiness i think yasuo with that build is pretty strong

I think that will just cause headaches for people fighting him.

Tank Yasuo is really not very good and doesn't scale well into the late game. His base stats are bad across the the board, and this is especially true of his innate defenses. His HP, Armor, MR, regen, all of these are lux-tier, and stacking defenses isn't a great strategy because of it.

Now, you do get more out of that sort of build than other skirmishers might because of the double crit passive, but Yasuo's base damage is just not great, so you need damage items to scale further into the game, just like an AD carry. Tank builds are bad; that isn't up for debate, but if you want to bruiser-esque, now that's a different story.

item 3078 , item 3006 , item 3046 , and item 3812 make a decent offensive core while still providing survivability. A good thing about Yasuo is that his passive damage steroid allows him to build less damage items than a traditional ADC and still have relevant damage, so you can trade off some, but not all of your late game potential with those 4 items and then still have room for 2 pure tank items. Or, if you want more mixed offense/defense itemization in your build, you thrown in item 3053 .

Full tank Yas is bad, bruiser yas is actually really good.

All he really needs for damage is item 3087 , maybe 1-2 Tanky AD items like item 3156 item 3022 or item 3071

last 2-3 items item 3026 item 3512 pretty cancer.

Yasuo's DPS is low compared to other rightclickers, this build will work only vs people without lifesteal and armor pen. I guess it's ok, if you rely on your team - you ult and don't get instadeleted, so you can clean up, but your dmg is crap. If the enemy is equally tanky, they will laugh at you while you tickle.
