What do you guys think of this Yasuo W change? [have its intended purpose remain intact]

DeadUnborn·Oct 3, 2017·1 votes·203 views

W is on a similar CD as live
W lasts 1.25 seconds at all ranks
When activated, Yasuo gains a damage reduction and tenacity shield (think Warwick's or Annie's E)
For each 10% crit chance (ability gives 20% tenacity and some amount of base damage reduction at 0% crit chance), Yasuo gains a percentage of tenacity and damage reduction VS RANGED ATTACKS (tenacity goes up to 100% and damage reduction to around 80%)
W can be casted while dashing
W no longer destroys projectiles

NOTE: Yasuo's base stats and scalings can be adjusted to compensate for this change if necessary

80% damage reduction + CC immunity at 2 items

Both would function against everything instead of only projectiles

Sounds balanced

read again, it would only be vs ranged attacks. Moreso it lasts less time than current W and I told you yasuo base stats could be changed to compensate for the change

He already has CC inmunity against most match ups with his current W anyhow...

~~This makes him stronger against melees (his intended weakness), and is neutral or stronger against ranged (the class he's intended to counter)~~

EDIT: So wait, he only gets 1.25 seconds of damage reduction? Then that's basically nothing.

read again...damage reduction is against ranged only..

also you are not taking into account his base stats changing..

Also it wouldn't be stronger vs ranged because AoE can no longer be blocked, emaning ranged opponents can push back at least. additionally he would no longer hold some ranged abilities hostage like Nami or Mf ult during teamfights

Yeah, I saw your reply to Face The Win.

It's still only 1.25 seconds, that makes the skill practically useless. It'd just be a button to press before like an execute or something.

Yea, but it is enough to counter abilities like Fiora does with her W. He can also cast it during his E dash. Therefore he can cluthc deny a CC that would kill him or a ranged ult like Jinx

remeber it gives tenacity as well. At 100% tenacity you are denying de CC entirely

Fiora is also an entirely different kind of champion with her own intended strengths and purposes, as well as built in life steal.

Yeah, what is the problem with Yasuo having the ability I propose though. Honestly the 3 or so seconds he has windwall up is overkill by mid game anyhow. It is only during laning phase that it is a pain in the but.
