Bruiser Yasuo needs to be deleted

I'm totally fine with it working if you're stomping and its a mid game cheese strat. But this shit scales WAY too hard into late game to be allowed. It's literally unduelable, even god tier duelists like Nasus and Jax late-game can't touch him, especially if there's a minion wave around. Full damage Yasuo is fine because it dies and can be focused but in return, he melts shit and has a good teamfight. But this afk no brain split push bruiser yasuo bullshit needs to die, you can feed to your hearts content and win because nobody can be near you in 1v1 situations.

Please, for the love of god, kill off this tank/bruiser off build shit that is scaling way too well. Keystone masteries was a fucking mistake.

All builds should be equally viable. Ap Yasuo, attack speed yasuo, bruiser or tank yasuo. All should have clear strengths and weakenesses. If one build becomes too strong it should be nerfed, but people should have the freedom to use their creativity and build their champions however they want.

just my 2 cents

I respectfully disagree

Champions are designed to function in a certain capacity and as such, they are balanced around this. Whether it be AD fighter with crit/mobility, tank with shields/defense steroids and crowd control, ranged DPS AD champion with mobility but low range and so on. While I agree off builds ideally shouldn't be killed off, they absolutely need to be if it's abusive and a result of an unintended consequence from something in their kit - think AP Yi and Ap Trynd. These builds can be allowed to function somewhat viably sure but if they're a smudge too abusive, they need to be balanced properly around what the kit is supposed to do.

What's the build?

theres a few different variations

most common is:

item 3078 item 3156 item 3022 item 3111 item 3053 item 3512

but you often see them with item 3046 item 3068 item 3742 as common replacements for an item above

I'm fine with this doing damage mid game and even relative damage into late game. But this shit should fall off, his kit isn't made to operate this way and he's gaining the perks of having his shield and his utility whereas other champions using this build dont bring that to the table. The reason Yasuo is allowed to have this is because he's supposed to be squishy and he has to use his ult/windwall in the most optimal way possible otherwise he dies. Thats totally fine, I'm perfectly ok with that. But not when you throw it on a bruiser/non crit build that is impossible for anyone to duel and still brings all of this utility and insane damage to the table.
