Can we do something about Yasuo's windwall already...?

I think if Xin Zhao gets a shield that is semi punishable (if he gets in your face) that is fair. But if he puts his windwall on top of a ranged champion with no dash then they are basically screwed. If you don't know what this is like, play Ryze v Yasuo matchup and get ready. You might as well rename it to Black Hole. I don't think Yas should be able to get in your face and throw a 0 counter wall at ranged champs where he can slap you around unpunishably in a 1v1. He already has so many defenses like his flow, and his RANGED KNOCKUP, and PHANTOM DANCER. If he got a circle wall around him some thing Xin where you can punish his range, then I think that is more balanced and counter playable, but currently its one of the most disgusting and infuriating abilities on a 13 second CD in the game. If not reworking Yasuo, then can we rework the windwall at the least?

Just delete Yasuo. Worst champion design ever.

Ryze shits on Yasuo, I know this from experience. 2 sec hard cc. If he uses W you wait for it to go down and continue spamming abilities. You can also push the lane better, roam better, etc.

If a Yasuo throws his Windwall directly on top of you, this does either one of two things.

Trigger a mental response to stand completely still and throw every skillshot you have, and complain about it being busted and blocking everything you have and being unpunishable. Or
Makes you realize how easy it is to move 3 units forward and cast your skillshots from the other side of it. A good yasuo will use his windwall away from you and hide behind it. If he's throwing it on top of you while you're not using skillshots, punish him for it and keep on him.

Ranged knockup? Are we forgetting about a certain someone more toxic than Yasuo, who's relatively mobile and oneshots most non-tanks with a 2k ult? (its Cho'Gath)

Flow is relatively easy to keep down in the case of having a spammable ranged ability? Personally, I like Katarina into Yasuo. Pop a q frequently for some poke, no mana cost, stay away from him unless you've got a reliable way of diving in and out with Shunpo, etc, punish him for spamming windwall and letting his flow be popped.

His kit is annoying, but it's honestly balanced as best as it can be.

This BS... For an adc Xin is even harder to deal than Yasuo. But in the end, yasuo is fair and balanced... GIT GUD

maybe if it was unidirectional and only blocked coming from the front and not the sides or the back then as long as you were able to get behind it you coudl deal with him (or at least attempt to)

I mean I'd be down for changing his w, if you ADC mains would admit that Twitch Vayne Ezreal KogMaw MissFortune Draven are kind of bs. No one likes being bursted down without any escape option. Maybe they can change his w to be a stream of wind that he runes through and gains 50-100 movement speed for a fixed amount of time depending on the level?

Could we make Yas windwall more like Kassadin's E sweep- the air spreads outwards for .75 or 1 seconds and leaves no wall, a gust of wind from a swipe of Yas sword -with a large sweep range and moderate distance in front that dissipates, and is based on timing. For every champion projectile blocked by windwall he gets flow charge. Put Yas dash on a charge system so he cant unlimited dash- 1 dash to start and 5 dashes at max rank is enough.

How about making it a channel ability that roots him? Therefore he isn't as slippery and the windwall would have the same use but not stay forever..
