We Nerfed Riven and Irelia's ult Cooldown time because they were always up...


Let's be honest here, aside from his W, absolutely none of Yasuo's abilities have a meaningful cooldown. And his W is broken af in other ways. Playing Yasuo is the closest thing to URF you can get outside of actual URF.
Well... there is sona...
Sona main here, Can confirm Lol
I wonder how sona will work on the actual urf.
probably will be disabled my guess. i wouldnt blame em.
or specifically nerfed on just urf.
you could say she gets... NURFED
Yasuo wasn't intended to be building CDR
Now he's getting CDR from Triforce
Now his ult is always up
it's kinda funny that in actual URF, he's terrible exactly because of this.
i dont think of yasuos ultimate as his ult. i sort of think it as an extention of his Q
its really not as strong as many other ults

Not as strong? It suspends enemies (essentially extends the duration of knockups and suspensions) and gives to Yasuo free bonus armor penetration for 15 seconds
Thank god they're changing so he can only get the arm pen if he crits
haha yeah, it's so hard to build crit on yasuo!
;_;
Not the point. It's meant to stop the tank Yasuo builds.
Yeah but nowadays an increasing amount of Yasuos go PD and IE on tank yasuo builds now.
Doesn't that just make him not a tank?
a tank with 100% crit chance, yes
If 3 out of 6 of his items aren't tank items, he's not a tank.
oh yeah, it's brusier, sorry.
I love when people call anything that doesnt die instantly a fucking tank
cause the real "tanks" die just as fast now lol
there's 2 types of tanks. One meaning is that they basically don't die and have a lot of resistances/health etc. the other is one that soaks damage for team and disrupts enemies. Yas himself is not a tank by leagues definition, but he is built tanky and can be called a tank when built as such.
What about old Shen, maokai, malphite, etc?
And don't forget the free shield.
Isn't that his passive? o.O
I FORGOT ABOUT THE ULT/PASSIVE RESET. I HAVE BEEN CORRECTED, IT'S ALL GOOD NOW
His ultimate resets his passive.
Ah.
That seems... unnecessary with the bonus armor penetration after the initial suspension and damage. Almost redundant, even.
The real reason it's redundant is because 90% of the "good Yasuo ult plays" are made by using it on a Malphite/Zac/whatever initiation when his shield is already up anyway.
But then you always have those certain yasuo mains who will defend yasuo until the day he can spike to 120% crit chance for him to be balanced screaming "well he can only ult when the enemy is knocked up!!1!1!1!"
But it's like yea, so what? As if it's so hard to get a Malphite or Alistar or even a Tristana to be on your team. Almost every single displacement spell that exists in league of legends can allow yasuo to ult even tho the tooltip states KNOCKED UP but I guess knocked up applies to: grab, draw in, pushed back, bumped to the side, and maokai bumping u up 2 inches off the ground
Yes but unlike riven and irelia, yasuo cant choose when he wants to use it.
Yes but unlike riven and irelia, yasuo cant choose when he wants to use it.
yea he can, he can choose from any knockup in his range
unless he knocks someone up then he literally can't use it unless someone else does
Its not like he has any mobility to land his knockup. Thank goodness riot didnt go too overboard!
Malphite, Alistar on his team: yasuo's ult is now oh so very hard to use and is limited without his tornado knock up
his ult isent even gated by knock ups, even displacements let him use ult.
That's the thing. Almost every single displacement spell allows yasuo to ult so technically it's really not that conditional cuz when u have a yasuo on the enemy team you can guarantee there's gonna be at least 2-3 displacement spells if not more
Champions Yasuo can ult off of in some way
Just the ones I know for sure
It has to be on a low cooldown to balance out the fact that he's manaless! Oh wait..
Having longer cooldowns to balance out no resource system was so 2014.
I guess we can collectively say that Yasuo is the new Riven
In general (Because there are exceptions) toxic AF players and consistent recipient of well deserved nerfs? Yes, yes he is.
Yasuo requires setup to kill, while riven would just empower her basic abilities and irelia was getting disgusting synergy with trinity force CDR and her ult.
Are you really complaining about his ultimate, even when he is being slammed with a wide array of nerfs?
you get hit by a knock up while not hiding under tower? He will use it even if just as a means of poke.
I don't think Yasuo's ult really does that much damage, that is not the problem with the champion. The problem is his damage over time in long fights that he can extend due to being manaless, his shield passive, and mobility.
To all the yasuo mains crying out "You need a knock up in order to be able to ult so it's fair to have a low cd!!1!1!1!"
Well guess what, almost every single champ has a displacement spell and we all know that yasuo can ult off anything that moves the enemy so it's really not hard to use his ult.
To the people saying his ult doesn't do damage ????? Are u om crack?? To say yasuo doesn't deal damage is to say illaoi is bad in team fights- it's a lie

Name an ultimate that requires a target to be anything other than "within targeting range."
If you said Gnar, you're still wrong. His ultimate's restriction is on himself.
Yes, the CC exists in multiple champions' kits, although on less than half of the champions in the game. But while the majority of ultimates have no restriction, or specifically work better if used at a specific time, Yasuo's ultimate can only be done within 0.5-1 second frames of a specific set of crowd control effects.
Dodge the CC, Yasuo can't ult. There are so very few champions with targeted Airborne CC that this solution will work in the majority of real game situations. And in other situations? Don't put yourself out as a target for Yasuo, unless you're the tank and you're baiting him. Playing defensively is the oldest strategy in the game, and people still forget that it works.

His ultimate doesn't do significant damage. Yasuo himself has high DPS, yes, but the core of his ultimate is the % Bonus Armor Pen, not the pathetic initial damage.
the only champ yas cant ult off of is warwick.

You were right that Warwick was in the list of champions that can't bump Yasuo's ult.
But you were horribly mistaken in presuming he was the only one.
I think Yasuo's ultimate cd should be reduced even further, but he should only be able to use it on champions he's knocked up.
They nerfed Irelia's ult CD because CDR became more accessible to her lol
Yas should be stopped from building Triforce before they nerf his ult CD because that's what's giving him CDR.
Unless you want Triforce/Tank Yasuo to be endorsed by Riot
Oh look, the guy who told me to fuck off for wanting no CDR on trinity.
Looks like its more then Just Irelia who is a problem with CDR on trinity.
