Should Yasuo get an escape ability?

Maybe it's just me, but I find it hilarious that the most mobile champ in the game (at least, during the laning phase) with a 0.5 second cooldown dash costing zero resources couldn't escape from a gank. Even Sona has a better disengage than him.

That's a good thing, he has a clear weakness, he is the most mobile champion in the game bar maybe Kalista, he should not be given more mobility

It's not that I want him to get a buff.

It's that I'm commenting on how hilarious it is that the champion that is well known for his mobility can get ganked very easily due to having zero escapes.

I never play Yasuo, but every time I lane against him I take advantage of his squishiness and immobility and have him shove the lane until a gank arrives. One gank and he's going to be trash for a big chunk of the game.

He has dash as you mentioned, wind wall AND his passive shield to keep him safe.

meh, the way his mobility is designed, is fine. the restrictions are necessary.

by the way, id argue that lee sin, jax and riven are far more mobile than yasuo. they might not have their abilities available as frequently as him, but theyre far less restricted on how to use them. especially with leap strike being on a 5 second cooldown by lategame, that can be used on enemies, or wards and other allied units. similar for lategame riven, who can hop all over the place.

and the actual most mobile champ in this game is clearly kassadin.

He can't get ganked very easily. If you come behind him, he can dash through you to escape, or he can just dash around between your minions so that you can't actually catch him. He's only easy to gank if you have someone who has ranged point-and-click CC. If you are playing someone who relies on getting close or relies on skillshots, he's really hard to reach so long as there are minions he can dash through.

Yasuo is not the most mobile champ in the game, Yasuo has garbage mobility and very low win rate, he is trash tier and needs massive buffs.

You're just butthurt you got ganked and won't accept the fact that you over extended.

Just take QSS then upgrade it on Mercurial Scimitar. I tried it on one game because the other team got a lot of cc. I know now that the weakness of Yasuo is that: no escape. But eh, it's normal. All champs have weakness.

Is that a problem?
