Yasuo to OP?

Ok i have seen many threads on Yasuo saying he is way OP. Well im gonna go and say that he is not as OP as many people wanna say he is. Yasuo true is very good champion and is hard to beat unless you now how to out play him or the person playing him is just awful. But the idea that he is impossible to beat is a bit far fetched. personally i do hope RIOT nerfs him. But the only thing they should nerf is his health and movement speed base. His health makes him a very good reckless killer that can take hits all day long and his movement makes keeping up with him very hard. with 430 base health and +82 each lvl and a passive shield does make him some what tanky for a mid laner. compared to the other popular mid laners like Ahri Xerath and Katarina, Yasuo has much more advantage with health movement and the crit chance. And his "W" wind wall does shut down range but plays can still be made around it. my best advise for fighting him is to stun gank or just straight up out play him by dodging his tornado and making him waste his wind wall. he is super good but he is not impossible to beat.

the passive is like: you have an almost permanent shield (that is not the real problem) you will have 10% less damage but you will do double dmg with your second item ....and with first item 150% (true problem)

how this cannot be considered OP? if you add it to the ultimate you make something so broken that everyone ban in the ranked games

I don't think anyone considers Yasuo literally impossible to beat. I also think that after the nerfs, he's in a MUCH better place counterplay-wise than he was upon release. Still, I think the concept of a champion like him is a difficult one. The fact that his crits do 10% less damage is not adequate compensation for a doubled crit chance. I honestly don't know how they could balance him into a completely fair place without nerfing him into uselessness, but I think there still is more work to be done on enabling more counterplay.

I never like facing a Yasuo, but that's because I like playing bruisers. If you want to beat Yasuo you have to out damage him, not survive him. If you can't position yourself to deal more damage to him than he deals to you you simply cannot beat him.

The only thing I hate about him is how he can easily make a mistake and not really pay for it, and how his shield will stop a lot of harass. He is also over played in solo Q. Like way over played. His kit is just noob friendly and once you master it... becomes a really annoying champ. He has no mana and short cool downs, so he can just spam Q all day. His ult, I actually have no problem with. It is difficult to hit and looks really cool. But I have played against him too much, a nurf would be nice so that he isnt so over played. Vayne, Darius, and Yasuo are just played too much.

Yasuo will never be properly nerfed. I played against him as veigar 1 game, and 5 minutes later, I was 0 and 6. And yes, Lee Sin was constantly ganking. There is no excuse for Yasuo's broken-ness. Riot, your only solution is to put cooldown on his e, and don't make the tornado deal damage too. That's begging for trouble from the servers.
