Easiest way to fix Yasuo.

Nerf this champ's mid lane and move him to the top lane for good.

I play top lane, and Yasuo actually needs to put in effort to win against the likes of bruisers you find there. No matter how hard he outscales champs such as and , he has an early game which a lot of top laners can cope with and a late game which is on par with that of most top lane carries.

Yasuo being a mid laner is a straight up middle finger to any mage and AP assassin. He shouldn't have been here, he should never have been a champ who dominates mid from early game to late, with hardly any windows of punishment.

Give him the Irelia treatment and send him to a lane where he needs to put in the effort and wait for his two item powerspike.

I don't understand the negativity here. As a melee bruiser Yasuo should always have been a top laner. He is played midlane because of that free windwall he gets and before anyone complains - HIs winrate is actually lower in the top lane where he needs to actually compete with strong champs who can trade back without hesitation.

Yeah lets move another cancerous champ into top lane. Let's just dump all our trash there.

Except Irelia autowins Top Matchups, due to her Passive being procced. Also, why it is always us that have to deal with unbalanced Shit? Does everyone in League and Riot say ,,Hey, we can't really nerf that, but we can push it to Top, no one will care."

If I delete all the files that make up Yasuo in-game, will I no longer have to see him in-game?

Seems at least halfway reasonable.

Top can absorb a little more of the pick rate of Yasuo Sylas Ekko Irelia Diana Galio Rengar Gragas Chogath and can make peace with TahmKench staying top permanently. But it can't be just a one-way migration or else top will become even more overcrowded, so there must be a population exchange.
Expel Vayne Quinn Vladimir Teemo Neeko Kennen Heimerdinger Ryze Lissandra Swain Viktor Karthus from top and have them go only bottom and mid instead.

Bottom actually needs more champion class diversity badly anyways.

Also adjust Kayle until she actually properly fits into top lane... Right now she only goes top because she has a weak laning and top is the lane that matters the least to lose. She could be a proper AP fighter during laning and still have strong scaling (just not AS strong).

He doesn't scale well enough to justify being put so behind by dealing with his top lane matchups.

Ok... and how would you accomplish that? What sort of change would you make to him that will force him to move to top lane? What sort of change would you do that isn't just going to completely destroy him? Since it's the "easiest way to fix him" you should have an idea of how to accomplish this.

Yeah I agree. Most top laners dont have projectiles in their basic abilities so hes basically got 2 abilities in lane. Thats the reason he sucks shit in top until 6 where he gets armour pen.

Simple nerf, remove his stupid shield, so he isn't so safe.

Well mid, and top are switchable. Though that works reverse too.
