Yasuo changes

I have heard two ideas recently for yasuo nerfs, and I just wanted to share them. Well, they aren't really nerfs, just a philosophy change on his kit.

First, the idea is that his statikk power spike is too much (especially if he gets it early) compared to other champions early game power spikes, and that it should be softened, while still preserving his late game power. The way to do this would be to make his double crit passive scale with level. It doesn't affect his early game, it doesn't affect his full build late game, and it softens his power spike.

The second is to lower the range on his ult. It would be cool if he actually had to put himself in danger if he wants to fish for a victim.

And again, the idea isn't actually to nerf him. The idea is to make him less snowbally and less safe--and ultimately, less frustrating. If these changes did go out and his winrate dropped, I would be in favor of buffing him somewhere else to make up for it.

I like the idea that his crit chance should scale with level. This is coming from someone who really loves playing Yasuo, too. I'm not afraid to see him get changed as long as it's fair. Double crit from minute one is a little imbalanced for sure. Maybe have it scale off ranks of his ult so he gets 50%/75%/100% of his crit chance with each rank? That way he's far easier to bully early and his power spikes come at similar times to other champions.

i dont like the idea about his ultimate range nerf

last breath is an skill which need a kind of cc on the enemy to be used so nerfing it would kill him

Do you know just how little damage Shiv does after the nerfs. At lvl 8, when Yasuo typically gets his shiv, it does 47 damage, or 84 if you crit. A BF sword or even a sheen provide a bigger powerspike than the finished Shiv. You may have had a point before preseason but the Shiv gutting has made your initial point a complete non-starter.

And please. "These changes aren't intended to be a nerf, they're just intended to make him worse." You want this champion to be less safe?
