Yasuo windshield makes him a bit overloaded?

I lamented when they removed his shield gain when dashing, that was part of the synergy in his kit. They removed uniqueness.

But his windwall meh. Why do I say this? He has a high mobility dash, which itself can and is already used for dodging skillshots/cc, if he fails to go in and then out, why does he have the failsafe windwall to block his mistakes?

If not that, at least nerf windwall up time, it stays onfield way to long, make it last 1s so he has to predict something, not just "place there and walk back to avoid projectiles".


Counterplay to Yasuo involves hitting him once to destroy his shield, which is why when you went in you were at 80-90% of shield. And it plays around that. His windshield comes off a bit too much of too safe & easy.

Then they proceed to nerf his Q which can and it is dodged many times. Someone suggested to remove dash damage. I agree.

Remove dash damage. Buff Q crit damage. Gains shield when dashing. Windwall lasts 1s (it spawns, moves foward and disappears).

Also, didn't Riot said they didn't want minion last hitting denial to be a thing? Well, what about when he bullies you to your tower and stops you from last hitting minions?

Just give him mana and the rest of his bull shit wont work for ever.

He needs a reliable defense against ppl who can waste his shield with an AA while still being out of range.

Well yasuo is suppose to be a duelist but doesnt share any characteristics with other duelists. for example, all the other duelists have some kind of health gain on hit. while yasuo doesnt have that. I guess his windwall is suppose to help with that. 90% of the community cant stand yasuos kit. and I understand why. Also, for all the protection he gets from his kit, he doesnt feel squishy at all compared to someone like akali or kennen. but instead of nerfing him so he isnt played every god damn match, why cant riot buff the other champions so they become just as viable as yasuo?

So much this. I think it's like a pact between game devs from different games, "Never buff, just kneejerk nerf." It's why I'm enjoying the current reworks, more champions are becoming viable, sure the champion can end up being ruined for mains but I'll take larger viable champion pools regardless of how it comes.

Well Aurelion Sol's E has a very high CD. I think it's about 40sec? Why not gice Yasuo's W the same treatment?

His passive shield generation is what puts him over the top honestly. It needs to either charge slower or not Block ALL damage until it dissipates.
