Patch notes: "Yasuo belongs to the class we’ve been calling Slayers, known informally as ‘melee carries.’ These champions (like Riven or Fiora) are nimble yet squishy duelists with the damage to slay anyone...."
Squishy, yea about that.
LoLKiru7 votesFairly certain they were saying that in the sense that, thats the group he's INTENDED to be a part of, which is the reason for the change (the intent is to make him build crit chance, which in turn makes him build less tank items).
You also ignored what immediately followed that statement.
" But what happens if a Slayer gains the tankiness of a Fighter?
Tank Yasuo happens."
VoidStaresBack2 votesSlayers are all naturally flimsy and are encouraged to build heavy-damage builds, however, they all also have things in their kit that can allow them to conditionally mitigate, avoid, ignore, or heal through enemy damage. Fiora has Riposte and Grand Challenge, Riven has Valor, Yasuo has his passive shield and windwall, Tryndamere has his heal and undying rage, Master Yi has alpha strike and meditate, Jax has counterstrike and grandmaster's might, Ekko has parallel convergence and chronobreak, and Kled (he was described as one in his champion description from Riot so I'll put him here) has Skaarl and CHAAAAAAAAAARGE!
