You know what would literally fix EVERYTHING about yasuo? This one simple change.

So you know how when Yasuo knocks up with his Q, they are considered "airborne" instead of simply knocked up? So for his ult, make it so he can only ult on AIRBORNE targets instead of any simple knockup. Obviously this ruins his ult somewhat so we would have to inc the damage probably, but this one change would make Yasuo actually have to do something to ult instead of just waiting for the smallest knockup (which could literally be a Trundle pillar pushing someone one unit to the right) to press the R key. It makes him reliant on his kit only.

As much as i hate yasuo having him ult with every displacement is the only thing that makes him useful when he's on your team...

None of you Yasuo-whiners realize that you can't propose changes that'd force compensation on his basic abilities.

You don't have a problem with his ult. You have a problem with his basic abilities of which you lack knowledge to counterplay.

I have but one real issue with Yasou, his windwall is hard as hell do deal with as an ADC or projectile mage :c He can zone you out from a fight with a good one leaving you and maybe someone else quite useless while the rest of your team dies. It's really no fun how hard he can shut down people completely with an ability that has like 20 sec CD :c

That's exactly the point of the wind wall!

Yes it's annoying, but it also has quite a bit of counter-play (reasonable down-time, combined with the fact that you can just walk through it, and on top of that that it's worthless against about half the champion roster).

He tends to stand near the wall though, and going anywhere near him lategame is suicide as a carry >.<

Actually, no, I do have a problem with his ult. It has stronger synergies with a wider variety of champs than almost any other ability in the game. I'm not fond of his passive either, but I don't care worth crap about his basic abilities most of the time.

its in exchange for him having an ult that can't be used at a moments notice

Your problem with his ult is the fact he can't freely use it like about every single champion in the game?

I propose we change it to behave like Malphite's ult. Point the cursor at the ground and knockup everything in range.

Now it doesn't synergize with any champion in the game.

....No one wants to see a Yasou with more damage though, that would make him strong as hell in lane :c

Sraeg2013Dec 10, 20161 votes

Indeed. Too bad most of the Yasuo circlejerk can't seem to understand that simple fact.

His synergy with knockup champs is pretty iconic of his kit. And are what make him good/viable at pro-level play where they actually think about synergy. And still wouldn't really fix his annoyance at low level play much at all.

'lol free crit' and 'lol free shield' and 'zoning' you by way of holding the 3rd q for forever, really aren't iconic to his kit, and changing those would probably do a lot more to make him less frustrating to lane against.

Plus removing knockup mechanic and buffing the damage on the ulti would just make him way more annoying to 1v1/make laning phase all that much worse. And make tank yas even more viable, and we know we all love tank assassins. summoner 3
