Yasuo's free crit needs to be adressed

I mean really is this fair to have 100% crit, lifesteal, permaslow, and a second life while taking 12% less damage

Yes, because he has to work for it

This is why we have tanks like Malphite, they can distract/disable Yasuo long enough for your damage dealer to blow him up

free

Sigh

It's not free. He is balanced around the mechanic of him gaining double crit from all sources and it takes up budget in his power allocation. If you want to argue that he is OP despite these facts, that's fine, but it doesn't change that he doesn't get crit for free. No champion gets anything for free.

This ain't Louisiana man, I ain't buyin' it. References aside, I find Yasuo's double crit being cited as his balance lever to be bullshit. Never once has Riot used it to meaningfully balance him, and it remains to this day the only part of his kit that hasn't been changed. It's not a balance lever if the lever never moves up or down, it's just a nob with a fancy name
