Why was Yasuo not given a Dash limit?

Give a Yasuo 5 or so of your minions to dash with, and you will NEVER pin him down if you're not Ryze or Malzahar. Granted, you can't dash to marked targets, but if there's enough stuff to dash to, that makes no difference.

Can't you do something like this?

Sweeping Blade requires a Dash Charge to use. If you dash to an enemy Champion, the charge is refunded. You receive new charges every X seconds, up to a cap.

Why this? If you dash to too many minions, you run out of dashes.

Why bother? Yasuo's infinite dashing makes him very frustrating to pin down, like a Lee Sin on steroids.

Why?

I hate Yasuo as much as the next guy - but his dash is honestly the best part about him.

It's interesting early game because of laning, and it's still useful late because of the mobility it gives him. With proper sight you can use it for jungle escapes and the obvious "chasing through a wave of their minions" maneuver.

Giving him a cap wouldn't accomplish much besides frustrate Yasuo players and unlike Lee Sin he can only target enemies - which is why I don't find it as frustrating. Lee Sin can just hop anywhere with ward targeting. THAT'S what's frustrating.

He is already overnerfed. Stop complaining and maybe try to run in the jungle next time. You really gotta stop wanting to nerf everything you don't want to bother trying to counter.
