Yasuo players, prove me wrong

Don't get me wrong here, I did not and I repeat I DID NOT want Yasuo to get nerfed in his HP.

Today, I had a debate with a friend of mine who likes to play Yasuo, and he keeps defending that Yasuo needs his HP back, because he is just trash tier without it. And I kept saying that his kit is very hard to balance, and that is why his base HP is horrible, and then I asked what he would take away from Yasuo's kit in order for him to be able to remain powerful without being banned in every game. And he said, of course, that Yasuo wouldn't need any compensation nerf.

Blah, blah... Nemesis Draft is coming, and I've seen many people calling Yasuo trash tier. I want you to prove me that he is as horrible as you say he is (not taking in account his still quite big pick rate). I wonder how he would do with the "other" trash tier champions like Urgot (yes, Urgot according to many of you is in the same tier as a hyper-mobile manaless easily 100% crit assassin).

Note that I am not begging for a Yasuo nerf either. I just want people to realize that there are far less viable champions than Yasuo, and I would like us to keep in mind how often he will be picked in the upcoming mode. Who knows? I might be wrong... Has happened before. DrMundo

Want to balance Yasuo? It's easy as hell!

Yasuo does not get his bonus armor penetration from his Ultimate unless the target of his Ultimate was knocked up by Yasuo.

You can't be a god damn hyper assassin and have team fight Utility at the same time.

No bueno!

Make this change then give him some health back.

Yasuo isn't trashtier, but actually hard to play now. However, he would be much better balanced if they would bring hiim back to releasie state with with some exeptions: A small buff to his shield, but the lower base hp he got now, lower duration on the windwall, ~25% increased damage on the 3ed Q and no more doublecrit/crit on Q!

as a champion with so much utillity/mobillity, he shouldn't have hyperscaling damage aswell. Trying to balance that much damage on his kit ends with the glasscannon we know today, beeing extremly hit or miss in his performance.
